As this will be Perrie's first time doing Hits Radio Live as a solo artist, we wanted to know what she needs backstage, and what her pre-show ritual involves.

Revealing details of what she'd like backstage, Perrie told Fleur East, James and Matt: "I'd like some candles," going on to joke: "I'd like a puppy... Any form of animal would suffice to be honest. I don't like rats." 🤣

Then adding: "And then maybe even a little dressing gown."

When James asked about what scent of candle she'd prefer, Perrie reminded him that she doesn't have a smell, so it doesn't really matter! "Whichever one sets alight, whichever one flickers, flammable one!" she told James.

When it came to her pre-show ritual, Perrie told the team what she tends to do before a gig, teasing that she'll be getting ready for a dance.

"Doing all my vocal warm-ups for like an hour and then maybe eat a little snacky snack," Perrie explained. "(I) can't have anything dairy... Get dressed... Get ready... Make sure I've stretched and then, I'm assuming I'll be dancing, so I'll be getting limber."

When Fleur asked her what she had planned for her performance and whether it would include a band or her dancing, she said: "I actually don’t know, but it will be one of the two if not both." We can't wait to see Pez on stage!

Perrie will be performing at Hits Radio Live Manchester, along with the line-up of Jax Jones, Cian Ducrot, Rita Ora, Clean Bandit, KSI, Teddy Swims and Tom Grennan, on 23rd November.

The night before our gig in Manchester, Hits Radio Live Birmingham takes place with the huge line-up of Olly Alexander, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Sigala, Joel Corry, Ella Henderson, Tom Walker and Sugababes.
