She said while many others are going stir-crazy in lockdown, she’s ‘really enjoying’ it, in an interview with KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O Show. 

Speaking of her time in lockdown, Perrie said: ‘I feel like I’m really enjoying this, I can’t lie. I’m having the time of my life!’

‘I’ve never spent so much time with my boyfriend, I’ve never spent so much time in my house. 

‘Like, I’ve never had just so much time on my hands to do stuff that I’ve always wanted to do, so it has been nice.’
