Perrie 'screamed' like a 'woman possessed' over Zayn breakup

It was heartbreaking enough that Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik’s relationship was ended over a simple text message…but this is next level.

The Little Mix singer is now recalling a particularly emotional time during the split where a phone call sent her into a complete meltdown.

“I was at the airport and I got an awful phone call, erm, from someone,” she told iHeart Radio. “And then… I just… what did I…? I just remember screaming in the airport.”

The 23-year-old’s bandmate Jade Thirlwall adds: “She had a little mini breakdown in the airport. And it was in the security line and so we thought ‘oh God.’”

Leigh-Anne Pinnock continues: “We literally just made a little shell huddle around her so that no one could see her and we were like, 'It’s OK, just let it out.'"

Perrie adds: “I was like a women possessed! It was awful! It just blubbed and blubbed and I thought I was going to explode.”

This painful story comes after the singer recently revealed her former fiancé ended their two-year engagement via a text message.

According to The Sun, the Little Mix singer has described the break-up as the "worst time" of her life in band's new book Our World.

In a leaked passage that's been posted online to a Little Mix fan site, Perrie reveals how her former One Direction boyfriend ended their relationship abruptly.

“It was horrible, the worst time in my life. A four-year relationship, two year engagement ended by a simple text message. Just like that," she writes.

“Even though things in my career were going really well, it was incredibly difficult for me.”

Zayn has previously denied claims he ended the engagement so suddenly.

“If you could word it exactly this way, I’d be very appreciative. I have more respect for Perrie than to end anything over text message," he told Fade Magazine.

“I love her a lot, and I always will, and I would never end our relationship over four years like that. She knows that, I know that, and the public should know that as well. I don’t want to explain why or what I did, I just want the public to know I didn’t do that.”

The explosive new claims from Perrie after she joined her band on the UK's X Factor to perform their new single Shout Out To My Ex, which slams Zayn's bedroom skills and references his new relationship with Gigi Hadid.

“I hope she gettin’ better sex, Hope she ain’t fakin’ it like I did, babe,” Perrie sings on the track, referring to Gigi.

Perrie also sings that she was unsure of her feelings towards the former boy band member adding: “Guess I should say thank you, For the ‘hate yous’ and the tattoos, Oh baby I’m cool by the way, Ain’t sure I loved you anyway.”

She later confirmed the song was written about Zayn.

“The song speaks for itself," she recently told BBC Radio 1 when quizzed.
