WHATEVER other achievements Yoko Ono can put her name to, to many she will always be the woman who broke up The Beatles.

And it seems the same worrying fate could be waiting for Perrie Edwards, 21, as fans of One Direction have accused her of forcing Zayn Malik to leave the group.

The Little Mix singer, who is engaged to Malik, 22, has been compared to Miss Ono and has also become something of a hate figure for some online fanatics.

One tweeted: ‘Perrie Edwards? Oh, you mean Yoko Ono 2.0?’ while another added: ‘Perrie Edwards is the Yoko One of One Direction.’

A third wrote: ‘What just happened?! Did Perrie make him chose her over his career? Unfair, man. She should also quit if that’s the case. Just an opinion.’

Miss Ono, 82, who was married to John Lennon, has been accused of driving a wedge between him and the rest of The Beatles leading to the eventual break-up of the band in 1970.

Malik announced on Wednesday that he was leaving One Direction after five years so he could be ‘a normal 22-year-old’.

Although he did not mention his X Factor-winning fiancée in his statement, many fans have blamed her for his decision. They point to the fact that it came only days after he flew home from the group’s world tour following accusations he had cheated on Miss Edwards with a 19-year-old. Malik has denied any infidelity.

The remaining four members of One Direction insist they are not splitting up and plan to finish their current tour before heading into the studio to record their fifth album.

However, there are rumours that Harry Styles, 21, could be the next to leave. A source has claimed he has enough material for a solo album but did not want to be the first of the five-piece to leave.
