Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has suggested that she might have her first child in a matter of years.

The singer told The Sun that her ideal age to become a mother would be 24.

This means that the 21-year-old Brit - who is engaged to Zayn Malik - only has three years left.

Edwards said: "Well, I would say 24 [is my ideal age to become a mother] and that's in three years' time for me. It's still quite a while away.

"My mam was 24, though, so that's always been my ideal age."

The singer meanwhile added that her family are pressing her to confirm their wedding details.

When asked if there has been any progress on her plans, Edwards said:

"Not yet, but me mam can't wait and it's getting on me nerves.

"She's like, 'What about the flowers? What about this dress?' And I'm like, 'Mam, stop!' We've been so busy, but I literally cannot wait to start planning my wedding."
