After being welcomed into the his family home for Eid, Perrie said: ‘I can’t wait to get married and have kids but it’s Little Mix at the minute.

Zayn, 19, has helped her bandmates with their own showbiz and boyfriend troubles. ‘He gives us all advice. Every time he comes over and when we’re getting our hair and make-up done he’ll just sit and chat with us. It’s really nice having him there to talk to. If I’m ever unsure about things, or me and the girls are like, ‘What does this mean? We need advice’, we’ll always ask him.’

Jade Thirlwall, who dates dancer Sam Craske, said she’s more cautious about boyfriends selling her out: ‘You’ve got to be careful who you meet in this industry, you don’t know who wants to be with you because they actually like you, or if it’s because of who you are. You don’t get to see them as much, so when you do it’s more special and you just make the most of it. You’re not in each other’s pockets all the time and arguing. I kind of prefer it.’

Eill Little Mix strip naked? ‘We are gonna grow as women. We’re still young and we’re still doing all the fun stuff. We’re not going to go from one extreme to another and then just be like’“Pow! Shoot me when I’m in my bra’.’ Jade agreed: ‘I think Rihanna can wear anything because she’s earned it. She’s worked her way up and nobody can tell her not to wear something because she looks amazing.’
