Little Mix star Perrie Edwards says she is in agony every time she dances because of a back injury.

In a Q&A with fans on social media, Perrie said: "I recently found out I have a slipped disk and tear in the base of my back/spine and I die every time we dance. But it's worth it."

The 27-year-old is currently starring in The Search, a talent show that sees the band look for new talent to mentor as they select their favourite contestants to become part of a new pop group.

In the same Q&A, Perrie said she is decorating her house at the moment - which doesn't sound like it would be much fun with a back injury either.

Little Mix's new album, Confetti, comes out on Friday, and they are also hosting the MTV European Music Awards next week.

She told fans during the Q&A that she "gets anxiety" reading scripts from an autocue at events like the EMAs, but that fans are "gonna LOVE the performance".
