Perrie Edwards on damage control duty: Little Mix star sucks up to Zayn Malik fans after Jesy Nelson calls them ‘stupid’

Perrie Edwards is sucking up to One Direction fans after Jesy Nelson clocked up an army of haters with one throwaway comment about Zayn Malik obsessives.

Jesy burned some serious bridges when she slammed the ‘stupid little Zayn Malik fans’ who had been mocking Perrie’s pale skin.

But Perrie says it’s all been one ginormous misunderstanding and that her outspoken bandmate didn’t mean to offend the bazillions of 1D fans in their entirety.

Preaching the Girl Power line, she explained: ‘Basically, us four girls, we’re absolute best friends and we always have each other’s backs. If any of us feel like one of us is getting digged at or getting nasty comments, we will always stick up for each other.

‘She just meant that people hating who are Zayn fans are being stupid… she did not mean every single Zayn fan – that would be daft! It was basically a massive misunderstanding,’ she added to Sugarscape.
