Perrie Edwards scared to be alone
Perrie Edwards is scared to be alone in case she has a panic attack.
The former Little Mix singer - who has son Axel, three, with partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - has developed a fear of becoming overwhelmed with panic and feeling like she is "gonna die" so tries never to be on her own so she always has someone to support her.
Speaking to Alison Hammond on 'Big Weekend', she admitted: "I've developed panic disorder. So it's the fear of having a panic attack. A few years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks.
"I then developed a fear of having one again because I was like, if I'm on my own and have a panic attack, I might die, and nobody will be here to help.
"That's why I'm never on my own. Never. I'm always with somebody. I don't like the feeling of feeling like I'm gonna die."
The 'Tears' singer would "love" to have more children but has had second thoughts over her original dream of having four kids because of the practical changes she'd have to make in her life.
She admitted: "I'd love more. I've always wanted four but I know that's a bit excessive now because I know that we can't get in a car."
Alison replied: "I don't want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant."
Perrie hasn't spoken to her former bandmate Jesy Nelson since the latter quit Little Mix in 2020, and the 31-year-old star admitted she still cries over losing her friend.
She said: "We talk about it a lot, but I think in the moment we did everything we could, so some things just happen.
"Yeah. It is really sad."
Asked if they still speak, she added: "We don't speak any more, no.
"We haven't spoke since she left.
"I wrote a song about it. Every time I listen to it, I cry.
"I think losing a friend in that same dynamic or in that same world is just as bad, if not worse, than losing [a partner]."
Alison noted: "It's like a love story because you loved her?"
Perrie agreed: "Yeah, absolutely. And then they're gone and it's like, ugh!"

Jordan Stephens is 'super in love' with Jade Thirlwall
Jordan Stephens and Jade Thirlwall are still "super in love" after five years together. The Rizzle Kicks star has opened up about his relationship with former Little Mix singer revealing they are still incredibly happy together after they started dating back in 2020. He told The Times newspaper: "I've been with my girlfriend, Jade, for five years and we are super in love. She's solo now but she was in Little Mix ... My mum obviously loves her too." Jordan also opened up about his past battles with drug abuse revealing he's been sober since 2018 and now he treats himself to a pastry if he's feeling down instead of turning to illegal substances like he did after shooting to fame as a teenager. He said: "Becoming famous so suddenly at 19 was a shock. It was positive in a hedonistic way but I wish I could have felt more present ... "I went sober in 2018. I was heartbroken; I had cheated and my relationship was over. I spoke to my mum about having suicidal thoughts ... " He added: "Now if I'm going through something my spirals are filled with croissants not cocaine." Jordan has been supporting Jade since she launched a solo music career after Little Mix parted ways, and she gave him a special mention when she accepted her first solo BRIT Award earlier this year. Jade has previous credited the musician with being her biggest supporter as he helps her whenever she has feelings of self doubt. According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, Jade said: "Something that Jordan taught me, whenever I'm feeling anxious or my self-saboteur is coming out, Jordan is always like, 'Just think of Little Jade, and look at what you've achieved. "'Little Jade from South Shields has done this? That's crazy'. That's always stuck with me. I have words of affirmation in my bedroom and one of them says, 'Little Jade is really proud of you'. "Any time I feel like s*** that really gets me through." Jade explained that Jordan's words of encouragement have helped her just as much as self-help books. She said: "I feel like you read every self-help book, you have therapy, you speak to people but sometimes you forget about yourself. "You forget that there was a little version of yourself and if they were watching what you've done with your life now they would be like, 'Oh my gosh, I never thought I could achieve this'."

Teresa Palmer back for another Aussie drama series
Fresh off the back of The Last Anniversary, Teresa Palmer stars in another Aussie drama. Mix Tape, which is a British co-production, follows Alison and Daniel across two timelines. They first meet in high school in the north of England. Daniel is the more popular of the two, while Alison is quiet and reserved, but both have a love of music and an undeniable attraction to the other. Fast forward a quarter century and their lives look very different. Daniel has become a music writer, has a wife and kid, and is still living in Sheffield. Alison, meanwhile, is now a celebrated author living in Sydney with a mostly Aussie accent, doctor husband and moody teen daughter. News of Alison's new book reaches Daniel back in their hometown, and it seems inevitable that these two will be meeting again. The series takes place over four episodes, with only one episode dropping each week, so we'll have to be patient as the story unfolds. Florence Hunt (Bridgerton's Hyacinth) and newcomer Rory Walton-Smith are delightful as the teen versions of the pair in 1989. Palmer is the grown up Alison, and there's a clear sadness and underappreciation in her performance that invites you to learn more about this woman's life. Jim Sturgess (One Day) is the adult Daniel, clearly still harbouring some feelings for his high school love. Mix Tape is a serious, music-infused romantic drama, its emotions played with earnestness. It doesn't feel the need to break tension with laughs. There's not a great deal in the way of story in the first episode, so you'll have to stick it out to see where these characters are going. Remember the raunchy teen comedy genre? It was huge in the 80s, but where did it go? Summer of 69 tries to resurrect that genre, and mostly does, but also manages to be unexpectedly wholesome and sweet. From writer-director Jillian Bell (you might remember her from 22 Jump Street, Brittany Runs a Marathon, Godmothered), the coming of age comedy sees high schooler Abby (Sam Morelos, That 90s Show) determined to win the affections of her dreamboat classmate Max (Matt Cornett, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) in the wake of his relationship ending. Learning from a perhaps unreliable source of school gossip that Max's sexual interests tend towards the number of the film title, Abby decides she needs to become more skilled in the bedroom department and hires a local stripper to teach her the ways of the world. Enter Santa Monica (SNL's Chloe Fineman), who needs to make $20,000 fast to save her strip club from being sold to a slimy rival, and agrees to help Abby become a more confident, capable version of herself in order to woo Max. It's a truly ludicrous premise that does feel straight out of the 80s, but Summer of 69 is actually far tamer than you'd expect. There's no nudity, and the raunchiness doesn't get much further than the title. The heart of this film is the growing friendship between Abby and Santa Monica, who both grow under the other's influence to become more well-rounded, self-confident women. What should have been a massive miss is actually a surprising success, and a lot of that goes down to funny and sharp writing, and committed performances from the cast, which also includes Charlie Day, Natalie Morales, Liza Koshy and Nicole Byer in support. Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney are mother and daughter in this moody dramatic thriller. Moore's Kate lives and works alone at her farm, caring for horses and teaching the occasional lesson. She's grieving the loss of her wife and struggling to pay for the upkeep of the property. Her quiet monotony is broken one night when her daughter Claire shows up out of the blue. Claire has a history with substance abuse, and Kate - desperate for her daughter to be alright and keep coming home - is powerless to hold back assistance when she asks for it. But this latest visit comes with trouble. Claire and her on-again-off-again boyfriend have fallen foul of their drug dealer Jackie (a long-haired Domhnall Gleeson, recently seen in Fountain of Youth) and need to go off the grid for a few days until the heat dies down. Unsurprisingly, that's not the end of the story, and we'll see just how far Kate will go to keep her daughter safe. Echo Valley is more of a character piece than a plot-driven affair. The pacing is slow, the dialogue sparse and the overall mood pretty gloomy. The performances are solid, and the ending makes up for some of the experience of watching what can at times be a borderline boring film. But given the solid cast - which also includes Fiona Shaw and Kyle MacLachlan - you might be expecting more from Echo Valley than you get. Newly-minted Oscar nominee Monica Barbaro is back in action alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the second season of Netflix's over-the-top action comedy FUBAR. Also on Netflix you'll find a doctumentary about the doomed submarine implosion, Titan: The Oceangate Submersible Disaster, as well as another doco on Travis Scott's festival disaster Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy. Catch Nicolas Cage in an Aussie thriller in Stan's The Surfer, or check out Orlando Bloom and Bryce Dallas Howard in the hilariously silly action comedy Deep Cover on Prime Video. If you're after something a little more sci-fi, check out new series Revival on Binge, where dead folks are rising from the grave with apparently no ill effects. Ryan Reynolds tries his hand at nature documentaries on Disney+, providing the narration for the fun Underdogs, which takes a look at some of the animal kingdom's more left-of-centre creatures like the pistol shrimp and axolotl, with his trademark snarky delivery. On Disney+ you'll also find the fourth season of Wild Crime, a true crime docuseries that this season focuses on serial killer Israel Keyes.

Jesy Nelson brings babies home from hospital
Jesy Nelson has finally brought her twins home from hospital. The former Little Mix singer and partner Zion Foster welcomed daughters Ocean and Story into the world on 15 May, over eight weeks before their due date, and were being treated in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but the couple were delighted to have their girls discharged ahead of Jesy's 34th birthday on Saturday (14.06.25). Sharing a photo of herself looking at her daughters - who wore personalised babygros featuring the slogan 'Happy birthday mummy' - Jesy wrote on Instagram: "My babies made it home for my birthday [teary and white heart emoji] (sic)" The Boyz singer announced her daughters had been born a few days after their birth. She wrote on Instagram at the time: "So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus 5 days. It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We've never felt more in love. "Everybody meet Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster. (sic)" Jesy's Instagram post also included photos of herself and Zion cradling their baby girls. Two weeks ago, Jesy - who was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, which can put one or both babies at risk, during her pregnancy - opened up about how heartbroken she has been to have such little physical contact with her children while they were in NICU. She wrote alongside a photo of her cradling both babies while Zion beamed at the camera: "Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU. It's the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies. Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can't because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them and tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them it breaks your heart into a million pieces." The photo marked the first time the tots hadn't been in separate incubators. She added: "But slowly as the days go by and they get stronger and wires start to come away, moments like this feel like a dream. Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I've ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell.(sic)"
