One Direction's Zayn Malik will pop the question to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards 'soon' if her bandmates' predictions are to become reality.

Despite rumours spreading earlier this year that Malik had cheated on Edwards, the X Factor couple are happier than ever and already act 'just like a married couple' according to Little Mix member Jesy Nelson.

Nelson told the Daily Star: "Perrie will be the first of us to get engaged, Zayn definitely seems like the kind of person who’s gonna ask her to marry him soon. He’s an early bloomer. I’m getting my hat already.

"They’re just like a married couple anyway. They’ve got a dog and they literally dress in the same clothes."

However, when quizzed on the potential proposal, Edwards gave little away as she feels wearing matching clothes to her boyfriend doesn't mean the couple are ready to take the plunge just yet.

She added: "Everyone keeps saying it. And yes, once we did wear matching hoodies. The dog did too. But I still don’t get why they always say me?"

19-year-old Perrie also revealed that her relationship with Malik has been supported by fans of Little Mix and One Direction alike saying, "Our fans are really supportive too and even the One Direction fans have been so supportive, so I’m very lucky."

X Factor's creative director Brien Friedman recently revealed that 20-year-old Zayn struggles to keep up with the One Direction dance moves.

He told Heat recently: "He’s got rhythm, he can’t learn choreography. He gets really intimidated and scared and can’t remember it.”
