Perrie Edwards has praised boyfriend Zayn Malik for the career advice he’s given Little Mix.

The 19-year-old, who has been dating the One Direction star since February, told the Metro that he regularly offers the group his words of wisdom:

“He gives us all advice. Every time he comes over and when we’re getting our hair and make-up done he’ll just sit and chat with us. It’s really nice having him there to talk to.

“If I’m ever unsure about things, or me and the girls are like, “What does this mean? We need advice”, we’ll always ask him.”

The South Shields singer, whose band are set to chart at No.1 tomorrow with their second single, 'Wings,' also revealed that she’s looking forward to eventually getting married but that her work is taking priority at the moment:

“I can’t wait to get married and have kids but it’s Little Mix at the minute.

“‘I want Little Mix to explode and be massive, then I think we’ll all settle down and get married and have kids and stuff like that. It’s going to be lovely. I can’t wait.”
