Perrie is having a harder time getting away from One Direction than Zayn is, it seems. The Little Mix star recently fell right in the middle of a huge 1D conspiracy.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past five years, you've probably heard "Larry Stylinson" mentioned at least once. It's not a comically named middle-aged man though, but rather the combination of Louis, Harry, and their surnames. The name was coined by enthusiast fans, who believe that the two are in some sort of secret relationship.

Our thoughts? Eh. Anything's possible.

Unfortunately for them, there's been a bit of a dry spell when it comes to "Larry" lately – or, at least we would assume, what with all the baby news.

But Pez came to the rescue, proudly exclaiming "Larry is real" at a recent Little Mix event. Fans quickly took to twitter to voice the news – as well as their excitement over it.

But just as quickly, they were met with Little Mix fans shutting them down.

Turns out that Perrie was actually stating "Lerrie" is real. Which, rather than being Louis + Harry, is Perrie + Leigh-Anne.

Massive bummer for all the larries out there, but with Perrie's recent split with Z, maybe it's hope for any LErries!

Perrie's yet to specify what she meant herself. So who knows. Maybe there"'s hope for both. Which ship would you board first?
