Perrie Edwards tells Little Mix fans she's 'fine' after hospital dash

Perrie Edwards says she "wasn't fit to perform" with Little Mix after being taken to hospital.

A statement from the band said she was forced to go to hospital because of a "gastric problem".

She's now messaged fans to tell them she's "on the mend" and thanked them for their support.

In the message on Twitter, she says: ''Hello beautiful babas… I'm out of hospital… in my own bed, and on the mend. Thanks to mother goose, nurse sam and doctor hatchi I should be fine in no time."
