Perrie Edwards reveals split with Zayn left her 'homeless'

Perrie Edwards says she was "homeless" after Zayn Malik dumped her.

The former One Direction star dumped the Little Mix singer via text message last year and Perrie, who had been living with Zayn in his North London home, says she had nowhere to go when the relationship ended.

"After I split with my partner, out of the blue, I had nowhere to go, which was incredibly stressful. For a while I had no idea what to do," she wrote in Little Mix's new book Our World

Although Perrie's bandmates Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall all offered to let her stay with them, she says they "didn't really have room" and she didn't want to burden them.

"I thought about renting but I've got dogs and cats, so that was no good. At the time we were promoting Black Magic, and while I was in America, things really hit me and I panicked. I realised I was homeless. I was crying every day, dreading coming back."

However, the 23-year-old's mother Debbie and her management team came to the rescue when they arranged for the singer to stay in the guest cottage of Modest! Management owner Richard Griffiths.

"I told her I was stressed because I didn't know what I should do about where to live once I got back to England. She arranged for me to stay in Richard's guest cottage for as long as I needed, until I got on my feet again. Thank God for him. I put all my stuff in storage, took my dogs and more or less lived out of a suitcase for a good month and a half," she explained.

Perrie previously opened up about Zayn dumping her by text, writing: "It was horrible, the worst time of my life. A four-year relationship, two-year engagement ended by a simple text message. Just like that. Even though things with my career were going really well, it was incredibly difficult for me. ... On the surface I was happy, but inside I felt broken."

The singer has also recently recalled the emotional moment she was left screaming in the middle of the airport following the break-up with her ex-fiancé.

“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.”

Her bandmate Jade added: “She had a little mini breakdown in the airport. And it was in the security line and so we thought ‘oh God.’”

“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,'" Leigh-Anne continued.

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