United Kingdom, June 16 -- Perrie Edwards "cried all day" in the lead up to her wedding after losing her favourite necklace - only for it to turn up in an unexpected place just hours before the ceremony.

The Little Mix singer married Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - the father of her children Axel, four, and five-month-old Alanis - in Portugal over the weekend and she's recalled how disaster struck shortly before they flew out to Faro.

She told Britain's Vogue magazine: "Alex gave me a diamond necklace after I gave birth to Axel and I wear it every single day, but the day before I came away to Portugal it went missing.
