Perrie Edwards has reportedly moved on in her love life after splitting with Zayn Malik. The former One Direction star had called off his engagement with the Little Mix singer in August.

According to The Sun, Edwards was spotted getting close with nightclub promoter Leon King. An eyewitness said: "They looked very cosy as they walked around. Perrie and Leon linked arms and looked closer than friends."

"It was just the two of them, other than Perrie's security guards, who kept a close eye on them as they mingled with the public. She is due some happiness after what happened with Zayn. Hopefully Leon can give her that," the insider added.

Edwards and Malik started dating in December 2011 after meeting on the sets of The X Factor. They got engaged in August 2013 and were reportedly planning to get married at Disneyland Paris in June.

Meanwhile, during an interview with The Mirror, Edwards revealed that she is doing great "post-split". She said: "I'm having an absolute blast. We have a bit of banter with guys in nightclubs... I love it. I love going out. I'm feeling brilliant and I'm in a good place – and I've got new hair."

"I'd love to do a double date at Disneyland. That would be brilliant," she added.
