Perrie Edwards has sparked engagement rumours after joking about taking her footballer boyfriend’s last name.

The Little Mix star, 26, was celebrating Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal for Liverpool against Belgian club Genk on Tuesday when she spelt his name wrong.

In a post to her Instagram page, Edwards wrote: “You to me are everything, my Alex Oxlade-Chamberlaine, oh baby oh babehh!”

A follower then pointed out that she spelt his name wrong, as did the midfielde​r, which she revealed in series of screenshots on her story.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, 26, said: “Looool. Also I cannot believe you spelt my name wrong on your story.”

Edwards responded: “I hate myself.

Getting hitched? The couple sparked rumours they could walk down the aisle soon (@Perrieedwards)

“It’ll be way easier to spell when it’s my second name and I have to write it all the time!”

Edwards was previously engaged to her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik for two years but the couple broke up in 2015.

They had been together since Little Mix competed on the X Factor in 2011.
