Meghan Trainor has given fans some advice on how to deal with a break-up.

The singer is quoted online as saying that she "nearly" had a broken heart after splitting from a previous boyfriend.

She said that people should look to those close to them - such as family or friends - for support during hard times.

Trainor said: "Hang out with your friends - don't stay at home where you will just think about it and start crying all over again.

"Talk to your mum or someone in your family and they'll convince you you're way too good for that person anyway!"
