Perrie Edwards' great-grandmother has expressed her delight after finally getting to meet Zayn Malik.

The Little Mix singer is engaged to the One Direction man and the celebrity couple seem to be going strong.

The duo met up with Edwards' great-grandmother Jenny Gasston at the weekend for afternoon tea and it seems the 99-year-old was thrilled at the visit.

She told the Daily Mail: "Zayn is absolutely lovely. It's the first time I've met him and I was thrilled we could meet. He was very nice. We had a nice cup of tea and some sponge cake and he could also see Perrie which was nice. Meeting him for the first time went very well. It was a pleasure to meet him.

"I love One Direction, my favourite song is 'Little Things'. I have got all their CDs but I didn't have them with me for Zayn to sign. Him and Perrie are lovely together and I wish them all the luck in the future."

No wedding date has yet been set for the celebrity couple as a result of their busy schedules.
