Perrie Edwards looks downcast in LA as it's revealed Zayn Malik dumped her by TEXT MESSAGE just weeks after they splashed out on £3 million love nest
Perrie Edwards is refusing to hide away as she tries to deal with the aftermath of her split from Zayn Malik but the hits just keep on coming.
While it was known that Zayn left her shocked by breaking up with her out of the blue two weeks ago, it has now been revealed that the cad ended their engagement with just one text message and has not been in contact since.
A source told The Sun's Dan Wootton: 'It's unbelievable, he's an immature little boy with no thought for anyone else's feelings. He ended their engagement with one text message and in the two weeks since there's been complete radio silence between them.'
