Little Mix star Perrie Edwards shows her support for footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by painting her face in Arsenal colours via Snapchat for the team’s win over Man City
PERRIE Edwards showed her support for her footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by painting her face in Arsenal colours via a Snapchat filter for the team's win over Man City.
The Little Mix star was seen celebrating the victory as the London side triumphed over their northern rivals on Sunday.
Perrie's boyfriend Alex gave his team a major boost yesterday as he helped them reach the FA Cup Final with a win over Manchester City at Wembley.
The pop star was in the stands with her mum to watch her her man put in a Man of The Match performance to help the Gunners to a nail-biting 2-1 victory.
She was seen dancing in celebration, and she was later seen on Snapchat wearing Arsenal colours across her face.
The magical facepaint was created using a special filter.
Perrie also had the team's crest painted over an eye as she celebrated the win with friends.
The couple have been reunited after Perrie returned from the Little Mix Us tour last week, and the singer seems keen to support her man.
She will have to add the FA Cup final to her diary now as Arsenal will take on Chelsea on May 27.
Since she started dating the Arsenal player, Perrie appears to have become a devoted follower of the North London team.
Perrie made sure everyone knew she was missing the football ace however and even shared a video of herself talking to Alex’s photograph while she was away.
Perrie shared the snap from the road as the band were on their tour of the US – and admitted she was heartbroken to be away from her new man.
The pair have been together since late last year with The Sun revealed the romance in November.
It came after she shared a sweet picture of herself planting a kiss on his lips, and she apologised to fans for the “cheese on toast” moment.
She wrote: “Apologies for this extra af, cheese on toast post…. But s*** I miss him toooo much! @alexoxchamberlain.”
In a new interview, Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall were quizzed about their relationships and she didn’t hold back about her new beau.
She said: “I have a boyfriend and his name is Alex.
“He plays for Arsenal. He’s very cute and hot… and sexy.”
The band was thrust into the spotlight this month amid rumours of a feud between the girls and Jesy after Perrie mysteriously cropped her out of a photo of the band on Instagram.
Despite her explaining at the time that it was Jesy’s wish to not feature in the snap, it didn’t stop wild speculation they’d fallen out.
Jesy later explained she was only cropped out because she didn’t like any of the photos.
