Perrie Edwards has admitted she fears she ‘might die’ as she opened up about her ongoing battle with panic disorder.
The former Little Mix star, 31, revealed she finds it difficult to spend time alone, fearing she could suffer a life-threatening panic attack without anyone around to help.
In a new interview on Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend, Perrie invited the presenter into her home and spoke openly about how anxiety has affected her everyday life.
Perrie said: ‘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.’
She candidly added: ‘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.’

Elsewhere in the interview, Perrie revealed she wants to expand her family after welcoming a son Axel in 2021 with her partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Chatting about how Axel sleeps in her bed when Alex is away for work, Alison asked: ‘Are you going to have another one?’
To which Perrie replied: ‘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.’
‘You just get a bigger car, don’t you?’ Alison responded.
Perrie replied: ‘I don’t want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant.’
‘Should we go and get a pregnancy test?’ Alison joked, to which Perrie said: ‘Could you imagine.’
Perrie recently gave an insight into her family life and revealed her son is best friends with the children of her Little Mix bandmates.
She shared a sweet Instagram picture of her son hanging out with Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s twin girls.

Perri and her footballer fiancé Alex gushed that having Axel was ‘the best thing that ever happened’ to her.
Leigh-Anne and her husband Andre Gray welcomed their twins, whose names have never been revealed publicly, just five days before Perrie.
In the sweet image, Perrie was seen crouched on the floor cuddling Axel with Leigh-Anne next to them holding on to her two girls.
