Perrie Edwards: Friendship Break Ups, Th...

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

A panic attack can feel like you’re dying from a heart attack; this is something former Little Mix member Perrie Edwards has experienced numerous times over the last few years.

 

In this chat, Perrie talks about how her anxiety feels like her adult is ‘going offline’, leaving the child in her crying for help, and Fearne shares how she’s managed to stop having panic attacks (for now, at least).

 

You might be good at advocating for the people you love, but how good are you at advocating for yourself and your own needs? Possibly a bit rubbish? Perrie explains how she’s got better at speaking her mind, as well as getting emotional about how important friendships are to her.

 

Plus, why do Fearne and Perrie both reckon the term ‘hands-on dad’ can fuck right off...?

 

Perrie’s new single, You Go Your Way, is out now.
