Vote for the Girls UK is a British web site devoted to voting for predominately female contestants. The second series of VFTGUK began on 26 September 2014 and concluded on 4 April 2015. Ava Zinn presented her second series of the web site. The moderator panel consisted of Nermal Everman, Kendra Ray, Rhonda Rhodes and Tracia Ward. Khayla Chow initially returned for her second series, but was fired on 18 September 2014 (Chow later died on 22 October 2014 after being fatally shot). Because of Rhodes' commitments to her American talk show (Your Debate, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) at the time, she only attended The Voice UK programmes and Britain's Got Talent. Rhodes is an experienced pilot and owns her own airplane.

On 4 November 2014, Ava Zinn initially called off the competition due to the level of conflict with the British public deciding not to support VFTG picks of Lola Sauders, Fleur East, Only the Young, and Lauren Platt on The X Factor's eleventh series and keeping said female contestants out of the bottom group, with viewers managed to upset the site, therefore making this the first time in the site's history competition was called before the competition ended. Unlike the American version on 18 April 2014 when Zinn announced she was auctioning off her virginity, Vote for the Girls USA moderators Lanise White and Kymberly Alvaraz filled in for Zinn due to Zinn launching Vote for the Girls Australia and a revival of American television news discussion site INNewsCenter.

This series is the first to have a make-up victory from Strictly Come Dancing following the elimination of Scott Mills and Joanne Clifton, but was not declared until Zinn added Mark Wright and Karen Hauer (in addition to her own picks of Pixie Lott & Trent Whiddon, eventual runner-up Frankie Bridge & Kevin Clifton, and eventual winner Caroline Flack and Pasha Kovalev) as well as an all-transgender female (as Zinn and Kendra Ray had picks remaining in the Strictly final. Another addition is the "Moderator's Veto," which is used before the X Factor series 11 final (or sooner) to veto a Vote for the Girls loss.

It is also the first series in the web site's history of which one moderator (Zinn) became undefeated as the winning moderator as four of her final picks either won or was saved via Moderators' Save.

This is the only series to feature Rhodes and Everman as a moderator as Rhodes died on 14 March 2015 and Everman died on 6 July 2015.
