Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has revealed that her boyfriend Zayn Malik is "very proud" to see the 'Wings' stars become a success in the US.

The British girl group saw their debut album 'DNA' impressively land at No.4 on the US Billboard chart last week.

They follow in the footsteps of One Direction, who have enjoyed massive success in the States over the past year and a half.

Speaking to Capital FM, Perrie Edwards said that her One Direction boyfriend Malik has congratulated the girls on their feat straight after their chart position was announced, revealing:

"He's said he's very, very proud and he thinks we're smashing it. Yeah, it's really nice to know that he's proud of us."

One Direction meanwhile have returned to the US as their Take Me Home tour heads over the pond, with Harry Styles showing fans some skin and going topless in Miami.
