The celebrity was deprived of the opportunity to enjoy one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Perrie Edwards had a rare medical condition many people would feel uncomfortable thinking of.

The singer shared with BBC that she was born with no sense of smell. Perrie suffered from congenital anosmia developed from complications in the womb. The star explained she hadn’t felt like the condition affected her life because she had never known any difference.

“People are always like, 'Oh, isn't that really horrible?' and I'm like, 'No', because I've never known what it's like to smell. If I'd had it and then it disappeared I'd be like, 'Argh.’
