X Factor victors Little Mix have had a rollercoaster of a ride since they won the show last year…
And not only did the girls win the hearts of the nation, Little Mix band member Perrie Edwards also won the heart of One Direction’s Zayn Malik, who, for a few months, was romantically linked to fellow finalist, Rebecca Ferguson…

During an interview on This Morning, and when asked directly by host Phillip Schofield if abuse from 1D fans was why she closed her account, Perrie said, “No, That wasn’t the reason…” Read more & comment »
