    Perrie Edwards snubbed Jesy Nelson whilst gushing over a special connection with her other Little Mix band members.

    Jesy, 34, quit the group in 2020 without telling her former bandmates - also including Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 33, and 32 year old Jade Thirlwall - and Perrie and Jesy have not spoken since.


    Perrie - who became a solo artist in 2024 - appeared on the UK TV show This Morning on Friday (26.09.25), and host Dermot O'Leary, 52, asked the star who she plays her music to.

    The 32-year-old blonde beauty revealed: "Oh, gosh. Well, I saw Leigh-Anne in Turkey, and we put the world to rights, we did."

    Dermot's co-host Alison Hammond, 50, chimed in: "You went to Turkey?"

    Perrie - whose 32-year-old fiance is former Besiktas football club player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Leigh-Anne's husband is 34-year-old Fatih Karagümrük striker Andre Gray - responded: "Yeah, because both of our partners were playing for Turkish football clubs at the time, so she was like, 'I'm coming over to the apartment, I haven't seen you in ages, we need to have it out.'

    "And I was like, 'Yeah!' And we sat there for hours just chat, chat chat.

    "I needed it so much. I feel like nobody - like, of course, people understand what it's like, but Jade and Leigh-Anne get it to a different degree."

    Dermot - who hosted the UK version of The X Factor when Little Mix were on the show in 2011 - said: "Yeah, you're all in the same shoes."

    Agreeing, Perrie continued: "Yeah, and we still have that connection that will never go, ever, so I'm still glad I got them."

    The You Go Your Way hitmaker noticeably did not comment on Jesy's engagement to rapper Zion Foster - which the pair announced in a joint Instagram post just hours before Perrie appeared on This Morning.

    The 26-year-old singer popped the question to Jesy - who he started dating in January 2022, and has broken up and reunited with multiple times since - on a beach at sunset.

    Jesy - who is also a solo singer - took to Instagram to share a series of photographs from the romantic proposal.

    In a joint Instagram post on Friday (26.09.25), they wrote: "Just got engaged to my best friend."

    The mini photo carousel featured two photos - the first showing Zion kissing Jesy's left cheek as she held up her left hand to show off her ring.

    And Jesy - who, with Zion, announced their engagement four months after they welcomed their twin daughters Ocean and Story into the world - shared a close-up shot of her new sparkler in the second image.
