Taking to the stage inside the grounds of the Grade II listed English country house, Perrie caught the eye in a leopard print top and beige, high-slung cargo pants.

The 27-year old teamed her outfit with a generously cut matching jacket,  while chunky white trainers rounded things off.

Joining her band-mate, Leigh-Anne, 28, showed off her slender physique in a form-fitting co-ord while working through her choreography.
