Whilst speaking to Metro over the news, Perrie gave an update on her own mental health. She told the outlet that she is "trying to be at peace" with her anxiety and its physical symptoms, rather than fearing potential panic attacks. She added that she has "tried everything," sharing that she has tried "all different kinds" of therapy. Perrie then gave an insight into some of her experiences with therapists, including revealing that she has taken a therapist to work with her. The singer shared with the outlet that therapists have tried to coach her on strategies for dealing with panic attacks in the past. She however suggested that "everything goes out the window" when she actually experiences one. Perrie shared: "Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation." She added in the interview that she's aware that many people don't even have a therapist. She said that she wanted to "make the most of it" though. Perrie explained that she decided to take her therapist to work with her each day and get them to coach her through any panic attack "there and then" in the moment itself. Sharing her thoughts on the decision, Perrie told the outlet in the interview, which was published earlier today: "It's the best thing I've ever done." She went on to add that she now wishes that she had done it sooner. Perrie's comments come just weeks after she was seen discussing her experience with panic attacks on the Alison Hammond's Big Weekend. She was the guest for the first episode of the BBC show, which was released last month. Speaking to host Alison Hammond, she said: "I've developed panic disorder, so it's the fear of having a panic attack." She explained that she developed that fear after she started suffering from "severe" panic attacks a few years ago. Perrie shared: "So I was like if I'm on my own and I have a panic attack I might die and nobody will be here to help." Providing an insight into the impact that has on her life, she went on to say: "So that's why I'm never on my own." Later in the episode, she told Alison that her first panic attack occurred after she had an over-the-counter caffeine shot during a trip to Las Vegas with her bandmates from Little Mix some years ago. Perrie said: "I honestly thought I was having a heart attack from whatever was in [it]." She recalled "pacing" around her room and having panic attacks, sharing that she ended up in hospital. Perrie added: "After that incident I just kept having them like again and again." She suggested that the experience had been a "trigger" and said her anxiety was then "through the roof". Asked about the signs of a panic attack, she said: "My arms go limp. My legs go limp. And then my eyesight starts to go. And then I can't see anything. And then my heart starts racing and then I just can't breathe. And I just feel like I'm gonna die so I start freaking out."

Perrie Edwards scared to be alone
Perrie Edwards is scared to be alone in case she has a panic attack. 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!"

Little Mix announced an indefinite hiatus in 2021, with each member pursuing solo careers while also focusing on family life. Perrie and Leigh-Anne both gave birth in August 2021, with their babies arriving just days apart. Perrie has since launched her solo music career, with her first solo single, Forget About Us, reaching number 10 in the UK Singles Chart.

The ex member is currently on a break from making music as she is expecting twins with her rapper boyfriend, Zion Foster. Jesy, 33, has had a tough pregnancy so far, having recently been diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and being in and out of hospital with the condition. Got a story?
