Perrie Edwards likes funny and "spontaneous" guys.

The 22-year-old singer shared: "I'm quite shy when it comes to dating. I haven't been on a lot of dates but I have had some amazing ones in my time. I like it when a guy makes me laugh and is spontaneous."

The Little Mix star was engaged to former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, until he abruptly ended their relationship in 2015.

Perrie is currently single, but says she has a clear idea of her ideal man.

She said: "I like people to be 100 percent themselves and not afraid to be crazy or do something outlandish or fun. I don't like the typical let's go for a fancy meal-type dates, that would make me too nervous. I'd rather go bowling or something."

Meanwhile, Perrie's bandmate Jade Thirlwall is currently dating The Struts star Jed Elliot, and the singer admitted she took the initiative with their relationship.

Jade told Britain's OK! magazine: "I was very much the chaser. To be honest, I don't usually do that, but I felt a bit more confident in myself and like I should make a move with him and I did and it bloody worked!

"If you like someone, you've just got to go for it. Shy kids get no toffee! I flew all the way to go on a second date with him. I just thought YOLO and decided I'd just see what happened."
