Little Mix have revealed that they have no desire to become party animals.
The girl group, who won The X Factor last weekend, said that it is sad to see fellow music artists like Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding have to enter rehab for depression and alcohol issues.
Band member Leigh-Anne Pinnock told The Mirror: "It's sad when you see celebrities getting drunk and ending up in rehab. We're not like that and won't ever be.
"We really like Girls Aloud so the Sarah Harding situation is very sad. The group aren't really together now, so maybe Sarah doesn't have the support of the girls. We're different. We have each other to fall back on."
Jesy Nelson added: "I've never been drunk. The idea of being out of control really scares me.
"You see lots of stars ending up in rehab and that's not for us. We'll go to showbiz parties and dance but there's no need to get drunk. We want to be good role models."
Little Mix's winner's single 'Cannonball' is currently on course to top the UK chart on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the group's X Factor mentor Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted that she would love to be their manager, but conceded she doesn't have the qualifications.
