Perrie Edwards was stuck at a motorway service station without her phone for 6 hours last weekend.
The Little Mix singer was travelling home with band mate Jade Thirlwall, 19, in a people carrier and, after sneaking out to buy a hot chocolate, got left behind.
'She'd left her phone in the car and neither the tour manager nor her sleeping band mate Jade realised she'd got out until they were well on their way to Newcastle,' a source tells The Sun.
Perrie - girlfriend of One Direction star Zayn Malik - eventually managed to find a phone box to get a message to Jade's mum.
But 18-year-old Perrie has now put the incident behind her and is instead concentrating on band mate Jesy Nelson's 21st birthday.
'Celebrating Jesy's BDay @theroseclub tomo night - thanks to @celeb_trainer and @wazashayer #HipHopThursday,' the band Tweeted last night.
