Before this interview Perrie Edwards has insisted she is doing fine after claims her One Direction boyfriend Zayn Malik had been unfaithful.

Purple-haired Perrie took to the stage for the first night of Little Mix's UK tour in Nottingham in the wake of reports that the boyband heartthrob had cheated on her with an Australian waitress.

But she told the Daily Mirror: "I'm fine. Today is really exciting as it's the first day of the tour and I'm just having fun. I love being on tour."

Perrie and bandmates Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall performed their hits DNA and Wings along with covers of hits by girlbands Destiny's Child and TLC at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall.

Zayn apparently flew back from Paris for "crisis talks" with Perrie on Sunday after reports he'd spent a night with another woman at his north London home.

It's like a working class thing, I think it's based on the way certain groups pronounce names when they shorten them.
It sounds like they are saying 'z' when it might just be the way they say it.

We only do it for Rs, perhaps it started in tabloids - they kind of have their own language which bleeds into their readers talk, you know? I don't know. People call Cheryl Cole, 'Chezza' all the time and its so fugly.

so if my name is sarah would that make me sazza
kol123 30th-Jan-2013 11:34 pm (UTC)
I've never heard that one before. I guess Sarah is too pretty a name to barb with a nickname.

I've heard Saz for Sarah, but not Sazza.

Sadly I'm not lying.

Oh yeah! That's odd. That one definitely originated from tabloids.

It's like Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill calling Karen Gillan 'Kazza'. I always wondered about that.
cadetjordan 31st-Jan-2013 11:35 pm (UTC)

It's just a way of formulating a nick name if people have an /r/ in their name after the first syllable.

Perrie pez
Cheryl chezza chez
Gary Gazza Gaz
Charlie Chaz
etc

I went and looked it up because I'm a nerd. A common way of forming a pet name is to drop the second syllable - Philip becomes Phil, Christopher is Chris, Alasdair becomes Ally etc. This doesn't really work if the first syllable of a name ends in /r/ (not least because some accents of English aren't rhotic, i.e. don't enunciate /r/ in the middle of words). The consonant /z/ is added to the end of the syllable to round it off.

So if your name is Karen, the shortened form is Kaz and not Kar (with the /r/ possibly not even being pronounced).
