For my Perrie biggest fan Alex

TURKISH DELIGHT FOR FOOTIE STAR

-

LOVED-UP Perrie Edwards has dedicated her debut solo album to her biggest fan – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlai­n.

The star’s LP isn’t out yet but her footballin­g partner has been playing it nonstop while playing for Besiktas in Turkey.

Perrie revealed: “I have a link with my team which has all the songs on, we can see where in the world it’s being listened to and it’s all Turkey and Turkey! He has it on repeat in Turkey – that’s love.”

Alex has been super involved in Perrie’s music: “Not only is he crafted from the Gods, he’s so supportive of me. He loves seeing me in my element.

“He built the studio in my house. He was like, ‘I know you want to be a mam and not miss too much, so why don’t we build a studio house and do both of what you love?’”

One track on the new album, Rocket Scientist, is about her love for Alex and overcoming a bad relationsh­ip: “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist that love shouldn’t feel like this. It should feel nice it should feel good, safe.” Perrie was famously engaged to Zayn Malik previously and she hinted that experience was tough. She said: “When you’re young, the way I experience­d love was kind of intense, like, ‘Wow it’s a whirlwind,’ it’s dramatic, fast-paced.

“It’s slightly toxic, but in the moment that’s what you think it’s supposed to be like, sick to your stomach and worried. That I thought was love until I met my now fiancé – that is completely different. That is love.” However, getting together with a footballer was not her ideal scenario.

She told the Zach Sang Show: “It took a lot of time and a lot of chipping away at the walls and learning to just trust and realise not everybody’s the same.

“I was like, ‘He’s a footballer, he’s gonna be a player and break my heart,’ but I was proved wrong, he’s the best ever. “Weirdly that’s something I never experience­d before, love at first sight legit, I’ve never experience­d anything like it.”
