They haven’t spoken since.
Now has used her self-titled debut, which is out today, to address the situation on haunting track Same Place, Different View.
She sings: “Point the finger at me saying I’m an evil person, but I was only trying to help you out. So tell me how’s that working?
“Time and time I tried to see the best in you, but no use. When you see my red as blue.
“If you open your eyes, you’d see I was always hoping that one day you’d come to find that my arms were always open.”
The album also includes catchy Little Mix-style pop tracks, plus a ballad or two.
Perrie, who is expecting her second child with footballer , delayed the release of her record to continue writing, which she said has improved it no end.
She explained: “I was feeling the pressure.
After the New Year, I took the pressure off and I stopped trying to people-please everyone.
“I just started to enjoy the process more and have fun making the music.”
Good on you.
BUDDY HELL FOR EMMA
SHE spent 12 years playing Hermione Granger, making friends for life with the Harry Potter cast and crew.
But has now admitted that every movie she acted in after the franchise ended was a disappointment, because no one wanted to be her mate.
Emma Watson says no one wanted to be her mate on the Harry Potter set
The Little Women star said: “I came to work looking for friendship and that was a very painful experience.
“They’re looking for, ‘This is my chance, this is my role, this is what I want out of it’.
“I was not of that mindset. So I found the rejection really painful.”
Breaking down in tears on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, she added: “Maybe I just wasn’t built for those kinds of highly competitive environments.”
It’s hardly surprising to see now why Emma stepped back from acting and went to uni.
You can make plenty of mates at freshers’ week.

I’ve had an exclusive first listen following her UK shows in May, and her vocals sound superb on the 32 live tracks.

The record’s lead single is The Fate Of Ophelia – a song based on the Shakespearean character who, in play Hamlet, goes insane and drowns herself.
Speaking about fiance Travis Kelce, Taylor told the New Heights podcast: “He pretends he doesn’t know what these words mean, but he knows what these words mean.

She said: “I’m creating a legacy rack, which is a couple of looks from every era that I would want to be remembered.
“I literally have a dress that I had on when I met my ex-husband.”
After how messy her divorce from Liam Hemsworth was, I’m surprised that dress wasn’t burnt.
