Perrie Edwards: I may be young but I am ready to marry 1D's Zayn Malik

Perrie Edwards doesn't think she's too young to get married.

The 20-year-old Little Mix singer is engaged to One Direction hunk Zayn Malik, 21, and she says they "know" they are ready to settle down and commit themselves to one another.

Perrie told Access Hollywood: "We're young, but I think when you know, you know.

"We've been together for a while now, so it is nice."

Perrie - who got engaged to Zayn last August after almost two years of dating - says she and the Little Things singer get nothing but support from their respective fans.

She added: "The fans have been amazing, they are so supportive of us."

While the couple haven't yet set a wedding date, Zayn's mother, Trisha Malik, recently said she expects them to tie the knot later this year.

Speaking in December she said: ''Perrie is a lovely girl and I get on really well with her.

"They're thinking of the end of next year, although no date has yet been set yet.

"If they have children I wouldn't like to be so far away from them. I would really like to still be part of their lives."
