Her sizzling snaps come after she revealed she brings her therapist to work with her in a bid to manage the panic attacks that have plagued her for years.
She opened up about her mental health struggles as she was announced as the newest celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind.
Perrie who has been very honest about her battle with anxiety and panic attacks, has shed light on how she's learning to cope - including having her therapist on hand to help her face the symptoms in the moment.
The former X Factor winner – who's previously spoken about struggling with agoraphobia and blurred vision and breathlessness during a panic attack – said her biggest breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fight the feelings and started facing them in real-time.
She told Metro: 'Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation.
'I understand that not many people even have a therapist. So I thought, I'm going to make the most of it.
'I'm going to take her to work with me every day, and when I'm having a panic attack, she's going to coach me through it there and then.'
She admitted that it was the 'best thing' she had ever done and wished she had done it sooner.

Despite previously trying 'all different kinds' of therapy, Perrie confessed that the panic still hit her hard when it came out of nowhere and everything she'd been taught just 'went out the window.'
The BRIT Award-winning star is on a mission to help break the stigma around anxiety and wants to encourage others to get the support they need.
As part of her new role with Mind, she's pushing for more access to mental health resources for everyone. Not just those with the means to have support on speed dial.
She added that she is trying to 'be at peace' with her anxiety and if she can help even one person feel less alone then it is all worth it.
It comes after the singer admitted she fears she 'might die' as she opened up about her ongoing battle with panic disorders when she appeared on Alison Hammond's Big Weekend.
Perrie invited the presenter into her home and spoke openly about how anxiety has affected her everyday life.
'I've developed panic disorder' she said.
'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.
She candidly added: '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.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Perrie revealed she wants to expand her family after welcoming a son Axel in 2021 with her partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Chatting about how Axel sleeps in her bed when Alex is away for work, Alison asked: 'Are you going to have another one?'
To which Perrie replied: '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.'
'You just get a bigger car, don't you?' Alison responded.
Perrie replied: 'I don't want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant.'
'Should we go and get a pregnancy test?' Alison joked, to which Perrie said: 'Could you imagine.'

Notting Hill Carnival belongs in the streets, now more than ever
The largest street festival in Europe, Notting Hill Carnival, is in crisis. A celebration of Caribbean culture, the Carnival sees around two million people descend on the streets of Notting Hill every year during the August Bank Holiday weekend. But this year, due to a funding crisis and worries over its size, there are fears over whether it will take place at all. London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, has shared concerns raised by the Metropolitan Police about crushing at the event, saying that video footage of some of the crowds has 'frightened' him. He also drew comparisons to the potential for another Hillsborough disaster: no little matter for the lifelong Liverpool supporter. Notting Hill Carnival means a lot to me, as a second-generation Caribbean growing up in the UK. Originally held indoors at St Pancras Hall, it was established by Trinidadian activist Claudia Jones in 1959 as a response to the previous year's race riots. She created it to celebrate Caribbean culture and foster unity between Black and white people. A few years ago, when I appeared on an episode of Radio 4's 'Making History' and we were asked to nominate a person who should be featured on their plinth in London, I chose this woman. The outdoor festival, as we now know it, celebrates its 60th anniversary next year. I remember the loud music of Carnival, getting sticks of sugar cane to gnaw on, and the beautiful smell of Caribbean food permeating the air. I was transfixed by the colourful costumes, but most of all by the sight of Black and white people celebrating and dancing together. As a family, we would travel down to London to see my uncle Gus Philip, who was one half of Charlie Phillips' iconic 1967 photograph, Notting Hill Couple – showing a Black man and a white woman was symbolic because it was just this kind of image that fuelled the anger behind the riots. One of the ideas that has been floated about Carnival's future is moving it to Hyde Park and becoming a ticketed event. I find this suggestion offensive – Carnival is a street party based in the Caribbean tradition. As part of a safety report, Met Police reps have said no frontline officer looks forward to working the event due to the possibility of crushing, and the small criminal element that takes advantage of the large crowds to 'cause carnage'. Like so many public events, Carnival has been marred by violence, but this is particularly exaggerated in coverage. It's the only festival where any statement from the police begins with the number of crimes committed. This feels like a continuation of the criminalisation of the Caribbean community that created tension with the police in the first place. No one speaks about Glastonbury, Leeds or Reading in that way. It's an open street festival. Anything that happens near the Carnival or in the general area is attributed to it, and that's simply not accurate. Yet, however nostalgic one feels about it, and however much I hate the more racist commentary, the safety concerns raised do bother me. I can't help but think of the two little boys who are now growing up without their mother, Rebecca Ikumelo, after she was killed in a crush at Brixton Academy in 2023. Security guard Gaby Hutchinson also lost her life that night. Their families have put these deaths down to greed and are calling for the prosecution of those responsible. Hutchinson's family are taking legal action. This is the crux for me: if a disaster were to happen at Carnival, and any other people were left grieving for their family members, they wouldn't accept being told that safety concerns had been overlooked due to their race. But I don't want the environment to be changed, not least because the reasons for Carnival's very existence are still so present. Last year, we saw race riots across the UK, which were very similar to the ones that gave rise to Notting Hill Carnival in the first place. Carnival is about rebellion, celebration and reclamation of space. It belongs in the streets.

Arlene Phillips: ‘My biggest disappointment? Being let go from Strictly'
Born in Lancashire, Arlene Phillips, 82, created the dance group Hot Gossip in the 1970s. She went on to become a world-renowned choreographer, and was a judge on Strictly Come Dancing from 2004-8.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis says anti-IDF chants 'crossed a line' and no place at festival for 'hate speech'
Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has said chants of "death to the IDF" on its West Holts stage on Saturday "very much crossed a line". Eavis, whose father Michael co-founded the festival, posted on Instagram on Sunday morning responding to duo Bob Vylan's set the night before. "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence," she wrote. She said that while "as a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism - we will always believe in - and actively campaign for - hope, unity, peace and love" - a performer's comments "should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs". Eavis added: "With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share."
