Perrie Edwards reveals fans don’t know the full story behind her split with Zayn Malik

Perrie Edwards has spoken out about her well-publicised split from Zayn Malik, revealing how she would ‘never get into the detail’ because it’s too personal.

The 23-year-old Little Mix star split from Zayn in August last year, and aside from Perrie’s claims he broke up with her by text, little is known about what exactly caused the break-up.

Speaking recently however on The Jonathan Ross Show with her fellow Little Mix band members, it seems like Perrie is looking to keep it that way too.

Appearing on the show, Perrie said: ‘For a normal girl to go through something like that it’s hard. I think when the whole world is looking at it and talking about it, you feel a bit [affected by it].’

‘Obviously I didn’t say too much about it, I briefly mentioned it. I wasn’t going to not mention it… You’re in control at the end of the day and I briefly mentioned it, kind of said what happened but I would never get into detail because it is personal,’ she added.

Zayn, who is currently dating model Gigi Hadid, recently revealed in his self-titled autobiography how his relationship with Perrie was on the rocks months before the split.

In the book, he wrote: ‘It was March 2015. I had been in a bad place for a while and I didn’t see myself getting out of it unless I made a change.

‘My relationship with my fiancée, Perrie, was breaking down. To make matters worse, there were so many crazy stories flying around in the newspapers about us, and it felt like such an invasion of privacy, it made me just want to disappear for a while.’

Little Mix have since enjoyed blossoming success with their latest earworm, Shout Out To My Ex, which many have interpreted as Perrie flipping the bird to her former flame with gusto.
