Perrie Edwards met Zayn Malik through The X Factor
Perrie Edwards has been singing the praises of boyfriend Zayn Malik.

The Little Mix star has revealed how One Direction hottie Zayn, 19, charmed her during the recording of X Factor charity song Wishing On A Star.

‘We were never together when I was on the show but we did talk a lot,' Perrie, 19, reveals.

‘I met him on the charity single and he was just really sweet and we've been friends since then.'

The loved-up pair are also trying to prevent their busy schedules from affecting their relationship.

‘It's not difficult to have a relationship when you're so busy, it's just a case of knowing what your priorities are,' Perrie tells Fabulous.

‘Things do happen and it's not you that changes, it's your life that changes.'
