It’s a 48-hour deep dive into Perrie’s life, from the comforts of her home to a trip down memory lane in her hometown.
Perrie doesn’t hold back, discussing the pressures of fame and opening up about her relationship with former bandmate Jesy Nelson. Prepare for some candid revelations, including the news that the two haven’t spoken since Jesy’s departure from the group.
Plus, Alison meets Perrie’s mother, Debs. Together, they explore Perrie’s childhood health struggles, including multiple throat surgeries.
