Recalling the story, Perrie said: ‘No, mum, something is seriously happening, I think my waters have broke,’ with her mother telling her to go back to bed.

Her partner Alex was away staying at a hotel that night, with Perrie and her mother reluctant to call him to come over in case it was just a toilet mishap.  

Perrie added of motherhood: ‘Most amazing experience of my life, literally can’t explain how amazing it was. He [baby Axel] is just the best.’

She said of her son arriving three weeks early: ‘I’m not mad at three bonus weeks, as we keep saying.’    

This came after Perrie’s bandmate Jade Thirlwall recently detailed just how Perrie and Leighanne are coping at being first-time mums.

Leigh-Anne, 29, and fiancé Andre Gray became proud parents to twins on August 16.

With two of the trio now on maternity leave, Jade, 28, joked the pair ‘don’t know sleep exists’.  

In an interview with FM104’s The Strawberry Alarm Clock, the singer said: ‘They have been saying that they just don’t know sleep any more, they don’t know sleep exists now – it’s just gone.

‘I’ve only just decided what I’m going to get them because it took me so long to think of something.

‘You know what it’s like – everyone gets them their clothes and all the same stuff, I’m sure they’ve got everything they could possibly need.’
