Perrie Edwards makes damning dig at Jesy Nelson live on air after Little Mix fallout

Perrie Edwards subtly hit out at former pal and bandmate Jesy Nelson during a chat with Mollie King. The pregnant popstar, 32, was talking to the radio presenter on her Future Pop show when they began discussing Katseye's tune Gabriela.

Perrie admitted she is "obsessed" with the song before dropping the bombshell it could have been her singing it. The northeast songstress revealed the Little Mix group were offered the song first but couldn't all agree that it was one for them.

However, in a snarky and sarcastic response, Perrie made it clear that it was Jesy's decision that put the blockers on it. When Mollie asked if they should play the tune, an excited Perrie said: "Yeah! You know that was meant to be a Little Mix song, right?"

The gobsmacked presenter replied: "You're joking," before Perrie went on: "I know and I was obsessed with it and used to listen to it in the car constantly like the demo. I loved it."

Mollie said it would have been "so good" as a song by the band, with Perrie agreeing and confessing all but one wanted to record it.

"You passed on it?" Mollie asked. And in a sarcastic and stuttering way, Perrie said: "Yeah, well one of us did. Not me, not Jade, not Leigh-Anne," she went on before letting out a cackle.

"But, yeah. It got passed and I loved it so much. But do you know what, I feel like they smashed it and they kill it and they made it their own and the choreography just goes so well with it.

"So, I'm like, do you know what girls? You killed it! I'm actually glad they got it, but we loved that song so much."

Perrie's confession comes after she got emotional at a gig following the release of her debut solo album. The moment came as she introduced a song said to be about her friendship with Jesy.

She spoke up about the struggle she faced trying to navigate losing a friend at the concert. As she performed at Circuit in Kingston on Saturday night she told the audience: "I wrote this next song because I feel like we talk about heartbreak a lot in music, in songs and life, and it's always romantically.

"And we seem to forget like losing a friend or falling out with a friend or not having them in your life anymore, it's f***ing hard! And it's like how do I navigate a life where that person's been there for years, they've seen me cry, they've seen my absolute demons, they've seen everything, and then poof they're gone?"

She went on: "It's like 'okay'. So I think I really struggled to navigate it."

She then told the supportive crowd: "Okay, wait! Don't make me cry because then my vocal chords are gonna go funny and then I'm not gonna sound good." Perrie introduced the song titled Same Place Different View.
