Little Mix group fans speculated that band member, Perrie Edwards might have gone in to labour, following her boyfriend’s sudden withdrawal from a football match .

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Perrie Edwards’s boyfriend, was expected to play in Liverpool’s match against Burnley today, but was left off the team sheet at the last minute due to “personal reasons”.

From all indications, it’s possible that the girlfriend went into labour, and it didn’t take long before Little Mix’s army of devoted fans took to Twitter with their claims that the player was substituted because of his girlfriend’s child birth labour.

One twitted: “Oxlade-chamberlain out of the Liverpool match for personal reasons, Perrie Edwards is having her baby lads ya heard it here first.”

Another wrote “Urmmmm Alex isn’t in the squad, does that mean… baby ox ????????”

All the best to the expectant couple.
