Little Mix manager Samantha Cox is also an expectant mother, with the close friend and colleague playing an instrumental part in the revelation of the Mixers' baby mania!

In the interview with Rebecca Judd, Perrie recalled the story of how they all found out: "We were on a work Zoom and we were chatting about things that were coming up in our schedule because in Little Mix we are blocked out two years in advance."

Perrie confessed that she began getting worried about the mega-stars' busy calendars as she concealed her pregnancy news.

"I messaged my manager and she called me and said, 'You’re pregnant.'"
