Little Mixhave graced the cover of One Direction beau Zayn Malik.

When asked about the 1D hunk, the blonde babe replied to the teen mag: "We’re just so happy right now. I’m on cloud nine and so is he."

Jade Thirlwall recalled: "Literally she got proposed to on Sunday, we were back at work on Monday and it was the first thing she said!"

Bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock added: "When she told me I was verging on tears! Yeah I am such a baby! We’re so happy for her."

Speaking of whether it was a conscious [uuid=2c67d65b-76e6-455a-90e7-17baa7607fbe]decision to show off her diamond sparkler [/uuid]at the premiere of One Direction's new movie This Is Us in August, Perrie explained: "To be honest, I didn’t even think about it.

"I was going to an event, getting ready with the girls, excited to see him. I get scared at red carpets in case I fall over and I didn’t want to do that with the ring. But luckily I didn’t embarrass meself!”

As well as gushing about Malik, the girls also spoke about their new album Salute, with Jesy Nelson saying: "We mostly recorded it over here, but we did some in America which was quite fun, in Will Smith’s studio. Unfortunately we didn’t meet him.

"It was quite fun but annoying as it was really, really sunny in LA and we were stuck in the studio!"

Little Mix’s new single Move is due for release on November 3, and is taken from their forthcoming album Salute, available from November 11.

Bliss magazine is out today (October 17).
