The Little Mix singer, who split from former fiancé Zayn Malik in August, says she is still happily single despite recently admitting she looks for men on Instagram.

Asked if she uses the dating app, the 22-year-old beauty said: "I am on Tinder. No, I'm joking."

She then quipped: "I'm actually secretly...I think now is the time to let everyone know, actually, [bandmate] Jade [Thirlwall], we're actually together."

Jade added: "We didn't wanna say it this soon but everyone's asking."

But in a bid to prevent rumours from spiraling out of control, a more serious Perrie clarified: "No, I'm not dating anyone right now."

Despite being able to laugh about her romantic pursuits, the 'Black Magic' hitmaker admits she still isn't ready to talk about Zayn.

Asked if she is on good terms with the former One Direction star, 22, she told E! News: "We'd rather not talk about it right now."

Perrie previously credited her bandmates, Jade, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, for helping her to get over the split.

She said: "It was a hard time. But we're having so much fun as a band and I've got my three girls. I'm so thankful I've got this lot.

"I didn't think our love could get any stronger. That sounds so cheesy, but we are like sisters - I can tell them anything. I can cry on their shoulders whenever. It could be four o'clock in the morning and I can ring them and go to their room."
