Perrie Edwards' friends are worried her ''jet-setting career'' is ruining her plans to have a baby.

The Little Mix star - who turned 22 on 10 July - recently said she wants a baby with her fiancee Zayn Malik by the time she's 24 - calling it the ''ideal age'' - but her pals have voiced their concerns.

They told Star magazine: ''Having a baby at 24 is quite young and her jet-setting career isn't ideal for raising a baby. She doesn't need to rush into motherhood - she's got plenty of time for that.''

While Perrie and Zayn haven't set a wedding date just yet, they've reportedly spent £3 million on a new home together.

The 'Black Magic' singer and the 22-year-old former One Direction member have decided to put down their roots just outside London by acquiring a six-bedroom, five-bathroom house that was previously lived in by a well-known Premier League soccer star.

A source previously said: ''This is a big statement by Perrie and Zayn.

''They've had to shoot down rumours of a split after his exit from the band and this is both of them showing everyone just how serious they are.

''They're engaged and need somewhere they can both call home - and this house is it.''

The luxurious property is split into two wings and also features a three-bedroom guest cottage.
