Perrie Edwards
Alison Hammond spends a big weekend with pop star Perrie Edwards. Perrie opens up about her home life, her struggles with anxiety and not being able to be alone.
Alison Hammond embarks on an unforgettable big weekend with popstar Perrie Edwards, offering a rare glimpse into the singer鈥檚 life. The visit begins at Perrie鈥檚 home, which she shares with her partner, footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and their son Axel.
Perrie takes Alison on a tour of the house, which has a home studio and an impressive walk-in wardrobe. In the bedroom, Perrie joins Alison on her bed and says that she had a dream that she was pregnant, prompting Alison to ask her if she should do a pregnancy test. When rummaging through Perrie鈥檚 Little Mix memorabilia, Perrie opens up about the challenges of fame, which came at a young age.
Alison delves into Perrie鈥檚 relationship with former bandmate Jesy Nelson, and Perrie shares that they haven鈥檛 spoken since Jesy鈥檚 departure from the group. She reveals she has written an emotional song about the experience, one that still brings her to tears.
The weekend takes a personal turn as Alison meets Perrie鈥檚 mother, Debs. Together, they recount Perrie鈥檚 medical struggles as a child, including a rare condition that made it difficult for her to eat solid food, with Perrie spending much of her childhood undergoing surgeries on her throat.
Alison and Perrie head to north east England, to Perrie鈥檚 hometown of South Shields, revisiting the singer鈥檚 roots. Perrie shares memories of her childhood home, where she and her Little Mix band mates stayed during their time on The X Factor. Over dinner, the conversation becomes deeply personal as Perrie opens up about her battle with anxiety. She reveals that her panic attacks began after consuming an over-the-counter caffeine shot during a trip to Las Vegas with her Little Mix band mates. Perrie reveals that the experience left her hospitalised, and the resulting anxiety attacks have been severe, sometimes causing temporary paralysis and loss of vision.
As their weekend together draws to a close, Alison takes Perrie to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne, where Perrie spent a significant part of her childhood. Perrie expresses heartfelt gratitude to the hospital staff, particularly her surgeon, Mrs Lawson, for saving her life. In a touching moment, Alison surprises Perrie with a visit from Mrs Lawson, bringing the singer to tears as she reconnects with the woman who played such a pivotal role in her journey.
