Way harsh.

Perrie Edwards has spoken out about the extremely cold way Zayn Malik put an end to their four-year relationship, by text message. The Little Mix ladies have just released a book, entitled Our World, where they discuss the various highs and lows throughout their time as a band. In an excerpt which has been circulating on the internet, Perrie has talked about the breakdown of her and Zayn's coupledom and how that came about.

"I'm single at the moment and in a really good place. I feel like I'm stronger and happier than I've been in a long time. I've bought a house and it's like I've found my independence after going through a really rough time.' "It was horrible, the worst time in my life. A four-year relationship, two-year engagement ended by a simple text message. Just like that. Even though things in my career were going really well, it was incredibly difficult for me". At the time of their break-up, it had been suggested that the split happened through a text but Perrie hadn't addressed the issue until now. The hashtag #PerrieExposedZaynParty started trending as screen grabs of the aforementioned extract were posted by numerous Twitter users.

Zayn is currently dating Gigi Hadid while Perrie has "been on a few fun dates" with former Skins star Luke Paqualino. Only last week, rumours were circulating that Perrie had alluded to the fact that she had faked orgasms while with Zayn. Some people are of the opinion that Little Mix's new song Shout Out to my Ex is directed at Zayn and you can read more on that here.
