Perrie Edwards reveals Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's reaction to her ex reaching out
Former Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards has spoken out about her 'toxic' relationship with ex Zayn Malik and how her current fiance Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reacted when an old flame got in touch Perrie Edwards has revealed how her current fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reacted when an old flame got back in touch with her. The former Little Mix singer sits down with Paul C Brunson for an emotional chat on his podcast, sharing details of two painful miscarriages and her 'toxic' engagement to Zayn Malik amongst other topics. Perrie and Zayn began dating soon after Little Mix triumphed on The X Factor in 2011, with their whirlwind romance accelerating rapidly. Zayn proposed in 2013 and even had Perrie's image inked on his arm to show his love for the pop princess. However, their fairy-tale didn't endure and the pair confirmed their engagement was over in July 2015. Perrie later disclosed that Zayn, who swiftly began dating Gigi Hadid following their break-up, actually ended things via text message. Perrie went on to find love with former Liverpool and Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2017, welcoming their first baby Axl into the world in 2021 and becoming engaged the following year. On today's instalment of We Need To Talk, Paul C Brunson's podcast, Perrie recalls her unhealthy relationship with Zayn and how their 'toxic' romance compares to the bond she has with Alex these days. She tells Celebs Go Dating star how her time with 'first love' Zayn shaped her future, admitting it was "probably not good" and that the pain of the heartbreak left her thinking "I'm done with men forever. That's me done." But she managed to find peace in her next relationship and credits Alex with being a positive and healthy partner. Although she doesn't mention Zayn by name, Perrie tells Paul about an instance when an ex got back in touch and how Alex handled it. "And I remember there was one point my ex reached out and I didn't know how to handle the situation because I'd been with Alex for like a year and a half, two years, and I felt a bit uncomfortable about it," Perrie recalls. "And I remember sweating and like panicking, thinking, I've got to tell him that, obviously, I've spoke to him. And I remember being terrified, thinking, oh, no. And then I sat down and I was like, I need to tell you something. He was like, 'okay, is everything all right?' I was like, 'yes, such and such reached out today'." She continues: "It was really weird. And he was like, same what? So I told him everything. And then he was like, okay, well, I really appreciate you telling me, like, thank you for letting me know. That's fine. Like, hopefully, he doesn't contact you again. I was thinking, okay, cool. That's it. And that's that. That was it." Elsewhere during the chat, Perrie, who has three year old son Axel with the footballer, calls the former One Direction heartthrob her "first love" but confesses their time together was anything but healthy. Paul later asks how her relationship with Zayn, and its bitter ending, shaped how she loved again after their split. "Probably not good. It wasn't it wasn't ideal. I think it definitely at the time, I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal," Perrie muses. "Because it was my first relationship, first love. I was like, oh, this is how it's supposed to feel. It's supposed to feel a little bit toxic in some ways. This is probably normal. "And then when I become single, I was almost thinking like I never, ever want to go through that again. I didn't even want to meet anybody. I was like, that's me done. I don't think I could bear that pain. Like the pain of heartbreak is so grim that I remember thinking I'm done with men forever. That's me done. "And then when I met Alex, I had so many issues in our relationship at the beginning that I probably didn't notice at the time. But now reflecting back, I'm thinking, oh, that probably wasn't, it wasn't good. And I've noticed it a lot."

Perrie Edwards shares heartache of 'worst day' of her life
Perrie Edwards shares heartache of 'worst day' of her life The Little Mix singer has revealed for the first time she had two miscarriages, the most recent at 24 weeks Perrie Edwards has spoken candidly about some of the most difficult moments in her life (Image: FlightStory Studio ) Perrie Edwards has spoken candidly about some of the most difficult moments in her life, including two miscarriages she has had, describing the most recent at 24 weeks as the "worst day of my life.' Appearing on the We Need To Talk podcast speaking to Paul Brunson, the singer reflected on her journey through childhood illness, anxiety, relationships and how these experiences have shaped her both as a person and as an artist. The 31-year-old explained that she and fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain discovered complications at a 22-week scan, later losing the pregnancy two weeks on. Explaining what had happened, she said: 'Axel's a rainbow baby. So I had a miscarriage very early on with my first ever pregnancy, and it was so early. 'I remember finding out I was pregnant. Obviously, I started bleeding not long after, and I went to the hospital and I had the scan and they were like, 'There's no baby.'" She continued: "And then when I had Axel, when I was pregnant with him, like, I loved being pregnant, it was one of the happiest times of my life. Like, I just love carrying babies. And it was lovely. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter 'But I was a bit on edge thinking, oh, gosh, like, I want to get past the 12 weeks. I want to get past this. And when I get past every scan and that pregnancy was complete bliss, it was perfect. "And then we fell pregnant again after. So maybe a year and probably not even. Actually, yeah. Not even a year, because Axel wasn't even walking yet and we were pregnant." Article continues below "And I remember thinking, right, I found out when I was rehearsing for the Little Mix tour, the last Little Mix tour, I was at rehearsals and I thought, oh, I don't feel good. Every, every symptom under the sun. I was like, I think I'm pregnant." Perrie went on: "And then we went for what was a 20-week scan, but we were actually 22 weeks, and that was just the worst day of my life. Like horrendous. 'And I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and he just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing... I've never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion. "So then I remember sobbing. He [Alex] was injured at the time and he couldn't really drive. He was struggling to drive, but I couldn't see straight. 'I was just distraught. And yeah, we basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks.' Perrie also discussed her childhood health challenges, as well as her battles with anxiety and agoraphobia, which at times made leaving the house difficult, and reflected on the lessons of past relationships, saying that she once normalised toxic behaviour, but has since learned what safe and supportive love looks like with Alex. The former X Factor star said: 'He's very mature. He's very laid back. He's very level-headed. He's not the type to get mad or get angry or get funny about things."

Morgan's Wings offer text support, group support and have built a supportive community through social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter Looking back at her Little Mix years, Perrie shared that the group were often underestimated but worked hard to prove themselves, noting: 'We were always the underdogs. 'Like from the very beginning, it was like, 'You won't do very well. Bands don't do that well and it won't last', and all this stuff, and I think that's what gave us the fire in our bellies to want to work so much and so hard to prove everybody wrong." Now focusing on her solo music, she says her priorities have shifted and she no longer measures success by chart positions, noting: " I'm in a place with my album that if I release it tomorrow [...] and one person loves it and they think it's the best album ever, I'm happy I'm done, I'm sold. Like, that's good for me." Perrie Edwards's new single, If He Wanted To He Would, is scheduled for release in just a few days, on Friday, August 22.

Vicky Pattison opens up on 'Strictly curse' fears as she names perfect partner
Vicky Pattison opens up on 'Strictly curse' fears as she names perfect partner Vicky Pattison has been announced as one of the 15 celebrities taking part in the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing, and she's already got her eye on a potential partner Vicky, a former I'm A Celeb winner, is one of 15 stars to be announced for the 2025 series (Image: Getty Images for BFC) Vicky Pattison has revealed her ideal dance partner as she expressed concerns about the infamous Strictly 'curse.' During a recent conversation with Angela Scanlon on the Get a Grip podcast, the Geordie Shore star confessed to feeling 'scared' as she prepares for her forthcoming stint on the massively popular BBC dance show. Vicky, who previously won I'm A Celeb, is one of 15 celebrities announced for the 2025 series. Other notable participants include Love Island's Dani Dyer and football icon Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. As she discussed her preparations, Vicky was questioned about any potential dance partners she might have her 'eyes' on, and it appears she's eager to sidestep the show's notorious "curse". This refers to a peculiar trend where contestants join the show in solid relationships off the dance floor, only for those relationships to dissolve—seemingly because of their involvement in the show. Vicky was asked if she had her "eyes" on any potential dance partners (Image: Getty Images for the NTA's) Vicky stated: 'No, so obviously I'm newly married, and the press are just, like, wild, aren't they? I feel like the whole, like, chemistry between couples can easily be, like, misrepresented.' Article continues below She continued: 'For that side of things, I would absolutely love a gay partner, just because I don't want any of the rumours. But, like, you can't go around requesting things like that.' Vicky expressed her admiration for Johannes Radebe, a sentiment Angela enthusiastically shared. However, her co-host dismissed any chance of them being paired together, arguing he was 'too tall' for Vicky. She responded that she'd heard this before, whilst Angela, who partnered with Strictly professional Carlos Gu during the 2023 series, confessed she'd "kinda" set her sights on him as a dance partner. A chuckling Vicky then described Johannes as a 'popular fella' and suggested she might not possess the 'waif-like' qualities suited to Carlos. Vicky is keen to avoid the show's reported "curse" (Image: SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) The notorious 'curse' has allegedly caused disruption in the personal lives of both contestants and professional dancers alike, sometimes sparking fresh romances—including Dianne Buswell with Joe Sugg and Stacey Dooley with Kevin Clifton. Meanwhile, Vicky wed The Only Way Is Essex star Ercan Ramadan last year, following a romance that began in 2019. Ercan popped the question to the reality personality in 2022 during a trip to Dubai. On 24th August last year, the pair exchanged vows at Marylebone Town Hall in London, before jetting off to Puglia, Italy, for a second ceremony at Castle Elvira. At the time, Vicky shared on Instagram: 'I have honestly never felt happiness like it—the most special day of our lives.' Article continues below Discussing the couple's future family plans with OK!, she disclosed their intention to 'enjoy being married' for 'at least a year' before revealing details about their sleeping arrangements. She explained: 'I'd love a honeymoon first! A little week in the Caribbean would be lovely. We're just desperate to sleep in the same bed together. I sleep with the dogs [they have two] and he sleeps in the spare room!'
