Perrie Edwards is more than prepared to move on following her split from Zayn Malik in August. The Little Mix singer admitted she is ready to meet new people and revealed one way to meet eligible dates is through Instagram.

Edwards talked about dating and her split from Malik during Little Mix’s interview with You Magazine (via Mirror UK). The 22-year old updated fans on her relationship status amid reports she is secretly dating “Towie” star Joey Essex. Edwards confirmed she is currently “single and ready to mingle.”

The “Black Magic” singer also revealed how useful Instagram is for her when it comes to mingling with people. Edwards told You Magazine she uses Instagram to meet boys since she believes it is “good for dating.”

In the same interview with You Magazine, Edwards also talked about her split from the former One Direction singer. She recalled having a “hard time” dealing with the breakup. However, she credits her fellow Little Mix singers for supporting her through the split and helping her stay happy

“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,” Edwards said.

Bandmate Jesy Nelson chimed in and said that they too feel hurt when someone in their group is hurting.

Edwards seemed to be enjoying her single life. She has been seen hanging around with fellow Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall hitting out nightclubs following her split from Malik. In a previous interview with Mirror UK, the 22-year old admitted she and Jade loves to banter with men at nightclubs. She also admitted “having an absolute blast” being single and revealed her love to go out and party with Thirlwall, who is reportedly also single like her.

Edwards and Malik were in a three-year relationship and engaged to be married. It’s believed Malik broke up with Edwards over a text message.
