Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards has admitted she 'can't cope' with panic attacks which come as a result of the 'dark side of fame'.
The girl band member, who is currently releasing music as a solo artist, opened up on her struggles in a recent interview with TV presenter Fearne Cotton.
Speaking on her Fearne's Happy Place podcast, Perrie, 31, admitted she could not believe former One Direction singer Liam Payne’s 'heartbreaking' death was 'real' and that it was 'very close to home'.
It comes as Liam died aged 31 after falling from the third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, earlier this month and was found dead at the scene by police officers and emergency services.
