​Things are pretty good for Little Mix right now. The biggest girl band on the planet, not only did their third album

recently go platinum but they are currently in the middle of a hugely successful world tour. Not bad for four girls pulled together on

But our May cover stars, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, reveal that it isn\'t always easy being in the spotlight - especially when it comes to relationships.

Perrie who split from former One Direction singer Zayn Malik in August after four years together says the scrutiny can be tough at times.

"When it\'s your personal life, something you\'re going through, I think people should f**k off and have respect," she explains. "At the end of the day, we are real people going through real things."

What\'s the best relationship advice she\'s ever been given? "Don\'t have one."

Meanwhile Jade, who recently started dating Jed Elliott from The Struts, says that touring at the same time as him has been difficult: "I\'m scared. He\'s going to America and we\'re headed all over the place, too. It\'s going to be really hard but we will FaceTime and hopefully he will come and watch us. We\'ll see."

The girls admit that they are a lot stronger now than they were when they first found fame four years ago when they won X Factor.

Much of Jesy\'s time on the show was plagued by self-doubt thanks to trolls making cruel jibes about her weight. "It used to make me cry," she says. "I was shocked at the time. I was a young girl and I thought, \'What have I done to you? Why do you have to be mean to me? I\'m not a nasty person and I took it to heart. Some of the things people said were disgusting. It really affected me."

Perrie found it hard too. "At the beginning, I used to search \'Little Mix\' and \'Perrie\' online," she says. "You can read a thousand lovely comments about yourself and then one bad one sticks in your head forever. It\'s like being at school with a group of really nasty people. Someone once wrote that I had \'cankles,\' and now I have issues with my ankles. I think they are the biggest, chunkiest things in the world. If you don\'t have anything nice to say, then don\'t talk!"

But right now the girls are just enjoying being on tour. Leigh-Anne admits that it\'s a very different experience to the first time they toured in 2012 with

"I used to have the crown for partying in the group," she says. "Jade and I probably got off with every boy on The X Factor tour. I mean a kiss of course… I\'m joking, weren\'t that bad. But we had fun."

And now that Perrie is single, she\'s planning to enjoy herself.

"I\'m going to have a drink," she says. "I\'ll be awake late with Leigh-Anne this time round. Times have changed. Rewind to four or five years ago and I\'d have been like, \'No we don\'t really party\'. Now I\'m like, \'Yeah!\'"
