Perrie Edwards scared to be alone
The former Little Mix singer - who has son Axel, three, with partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - has developed a fear of becoming overwhelmed with panic and feeling like she is "gonna die" so tries never to be on her own so she always has someone to support her.
Speaking to Alison Hammond on 'Big Weekend', she admitted: "I've developed panic disorder. So it's the fear of having a panic attack. A few years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks.
"I then developed a fear of having one again because I was like, if I'm on my own and have a panic attack, I might die, and nobody will be here to help.
"That's why I'm never on my own. Never. I'm always with somebody. I don't like the feeling of feeling like I'm gonna die."
The 'Tears' singer would "love" to have more children but has had second thoughts over her original dream of having four kids because of the practical changes she'd have to make in her life.
She admitted: "I'd love more. I've always wanted four but I know that's a bit excessive now because I know that we can't get in a car."
Alison replied: "I don't want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant."
Perrie hasn't spoken to her former bandmate Jesy Nelson since the latter quit Little Mix in 2020, and the 31-year-old star admitted she still cries over losing her friend.
She said: "We talk about it a lot, but I think in the moment we did everything we could, so some things just happen.
"Yeah. It is really sad."
Asked if they still speak, she added: "We don't speak any more, no.
"We haven't spoke since she left.
"I wrote a song about it. Every time I listen to it, I cry.
"I think losing a friend in that same dynamic or in that same world is just as bad, if not worse, than losing [a partner]."
Alison noted: "It's like a love story because you loved her?"
Perrie agreed: "Yeah, absolutely. And then they're gone and it's like, ugh!"

Dave Franco reveals Alison Brie likes to recreate ‘sloppy' and ‘awkward' reality TV kisses with him
David Franco has revealed his wife Alison Brie likes to recreate 'sloppy' and 'awkward' kisses she has seen in reality TV shows with him. The 40-year-old actor - who married the Community star, 42, in 2017 - shared Alison isn't afraid to bring steamy smooches she's seen on the box into their relationship, even if it ends with unfavourable results. Speaking with People, Alison said: 'You know what traumatizes Dave in terms of making out? Is that sometimes if we're watching a reality show like The Bachelor or Love Island …' Dave quickly added: '… And there's these first kisses that are sometimes a little sloppy or a little awkward. She always wants to recreate them on me.' Dave and Alison will next be seen on the silver screen together in the upcoming horror movie Together. In the film, a couple's move to the countryside takes a terrifying turn when a supernatural presence begins to alter their love, their lives, and even their bodies. Dave teased Together 'goes full bonkers, body horror mania'. He told Collider: 'We've got a codependent couple, not unlike ourselves. They're going through some issues. 'They moved to the middle of nowhere to try to just kind of have a new start, but they encounter something supernatural that just kind of brings all the issues right to the surface.' The Now You See Me star said the intimacy in Together 'goes to such an extreme level' that he didn't think he could have made the movie with anyone other than his wife. He said: 'It goes to such an extreme point where we truly looked at each other at the end of each day, and we were like, 'We could not have made this movie with anyone else.'' Alison - who has worked with Dave on movies like 2023's Somebody I Used to Know - said the couple's 'shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter' in their professional relationship. She explained: 'I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together. 'Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it's like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing. 'We've been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We're very selective about projects that we will act in together. 'We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it's all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did.'

Leigh-Anne Pinnock hopes for 'impactful' Little Mix reunion
Leigh-Anne Pinnock wants a Little Mix reunion to be "impactful". The 33-year-old pop star is currently focused on her solo career after the girl group went on hiatus in 2022 and believes that she and bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards should wait a while before getting back together. Speaking on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show on Monday (21.07.25), Leigh-Anne said: "We cannot do this (get back together) for a little while because otherwise it wouldn't be as impactful. Let's enjoy solo man but I do feel that people miss Little Mix. "What we could do is we could still do our solo stuff, do a little Blackpink, that would be kind of iconic. Or do a show where we all perform our solo stuff, that would be sick." Leigh-Anne revealed that she would be keen to see British R+B group Honeyz reunite as she loved performing their songs when she was performing in talent shows as a youngster. Asked which band she wants to get back together, she said: "I used to sing Honeyz for talent shows when I was younger so the Honeyz." Leigh-Anne has three-year-old twin daughters, whose names she has not made public, with her footballer husband Andre Gray and explained that she has already joined the parents WhatsApp group in preparation for the pair starting school. The Been a Minute singer said: "The WhatsApp group is already popping off and I'm getting overwhelmed but for them I want to be quite involved and meet the parents and all of that!" Leigh-Anne previously revealed that she and her Little Mix bandmates considered scrapping their hiatus after enjoying themselves on the Confetti tour but ultimately feels that the trio made the right decision as they concentrate on their solo material. She said: "The three of us have this genuine sisterhood, and no one else will ever get it. "In fact, that last tour was so beautiful that there were times when we asked if we should just carry on as Little Mix because it felt so good. I don't think it would have worked at that point in our lives, though." The Don't Say Love hitmaker was scared about going solo at first but feels that she has proven that she is up to the task of being a standalone artist. She said: "I believe in my talent. I believe in myself and also, I just love to sing. There's plenty of things I could do. But I know music is where I'm supposed to be. I'm excited to see where it's going to take me next."

The 27-year-old actress had a brief romance with 33-year-old singer/ songwriter Puth in 2016, which ended with him claiming she had been two-timing him and her ex-boyfriend Tyler Posey. However, Bella has now alleged that Charlie made up lies about her when she wouldn't 'do the deed with him'. After a post was made on Instagram, quoting Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall as saying she "wouldn't collaborate" with Puth, Thorne took to the comments. She wrote: "Yeah I mean .. he lied to the entire world about me and started a hate train. All because I wouldn't …. Do the deed with him." Bella and Charlie were linked in December 2016 when they were spotted together at Jingle Ball in Miami - and he serenaded her onstage However, he later took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim she had been dishonest. He wrote: 'I can't believe what I'm reading. No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I'm not going to be in the middle of it. "I don't know Tyler personally, but I know he shouldn't be treated this way. She told me she was not with him anymore. This is all news to me." Bella later posted on X: 'Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and charlie and I ARENT DATING we are friends. "Charlie and I were hanging out.. he saw an old interview and got butthurt but instead of texting me and asking about it he put it on Twitter." Speaking on SiriusXM's The Jenny McCarthy Show, she said: 'Honestly, Ty and I stopped dating and that was really difficult for me. It was definitely one of the hardest breakups I've been through. Basically, Ty and I stopped dating and Charlie had been tweeting about me for a while. He was trying to reach out to me. "I hung out with him twice. We went to the movies. He was cool. I was like, 'Wow, you're really talented. Holy s***. You're f****** great, dude.' And then he invited me to Jingle Ball to watch him perform. 'Charlie saw an old news article, and he didn't look at the date, and the date is old, and it's about me and Ty. … when he read it, not reading the date, it sounded like it was about me and Ty still being together. He didn't even text me or talk to me about it."
