Perrie Edwards shares insight into isolation with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

They have been isolating together in their plush pad.

And Perrie Edwards has shared an insight to what it’s like being housebound with her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain during Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain.

The Little Mix star, 26, playfully said that living with her beau at the moment is like being with a child after they have been given ‘Coca-Cola and sweets’.

Perrie appeared on video link from their home as she spoke to hosts Ben Shepherd and Lorraine Kelly amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. 

Her beau Alex typically spends his day training at Liverpool Football Club, however premiere league sides are currently suspended and not expected to play until June.

Perrie joked that Alex has lots of extra energy and said: ‘It’s like giving a child have Coca Cola and a whole bag of sweets and putting them in a room and keeping them in there. He’s got so much energy!’

However generally she admitted things have been running smoothly, adding: ‘Actually really well, not too bad. We’re just trying to stay positive and keep ourselves busy and I’ve just been doing loads of stuff like knitting, a bit of baking, random stuff I never normally have time for.’

Perrie and Alex kept their followers entertained earlier this week by sharing a Tik Tok video of the two of them dancing on their kitchen stairs.   

Discussing how she learned the steps to the viral video, Perrie said: ‘It took me a good while. Alex learned straight away because he’s annoyingly good at everything, so he got it straight away and I just kept getting it wrong. 

‘He’s really good at stuff like that, but I kept getting scared on the stairs, like if I fell and broke an ankle. But it was really fun when we got it, it was brilliant.’

Perrie’s pooch Hatchi also appeared briefly on the video and she revealed he is being ‘needy’ because he’s jealous of their new Bulldog puppy Travis.

The star also revealed that the group are going to go ahead and release their new single Break Up Song in a bid to ‘life everyone’s spirits’ in the current climate. 

She said: ‘It’s such a weird time for everybody. Luckily for us we had the single sorted, we had everything ready to go. We were going to hold off releasing it, but it’s a nice positive, uplifting song, it’ll make everyone feel good.’ 

Although she’s been spending more time with her boyfriend, Perrie has been isolated from her band mates for the past couple of weeks.

However she assured fans they are constantly in touch, and said: ‘Our group chat on WhatsApp is always popping off. We’re so used to being together 24/7, we live in each other’s pockets. 

‘When we’re not together, it feels really weird. But it’s also quite nice to have a little bit of breathing space for once because we never get time off. It’s just weird circumstances.’

Earlier during a radio appearance on Heart Breakfast with Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston, Perrie revealed while the single will be released their album is on hold.

She said: ‘I feel like it’s [the single] such a good upbeat positive uplifting song and that’s just what people need right now, but with the album, I think we are going to have to postpone it yeah.’

Amanda suggested that the band could release it later in the summer or in the autumn, before Perrie agreed and said ‘yeah.’
