‘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 revealed in a TikTok interview.
‘I was thinking, I won’t be able to do that. I messaged my manager and she called me and said, “You’re pregnant”. ‘I was like, “How do you know?” And she said, “Because I am pregnant”. Then she said, “Can I add someone to the call?”
‘I just heard this voice that said, “Perrie! You too!” And then we just cried our eyes out. What timing! It wasn’t planned.’
Fans were overjoyed at the news that the pair would be expecting their first-borns at the same time.
