Titled Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, the series lifts the lid on her journey to motherhood and her life since quitting the chart-topping girl band in 2020.
A synopsis for the show reveals the emotional rollercoaster of Jesy's pregnancy will be laid bare.
It will include her terrifying experience with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, a rare condition that put both babies at risk of dying.
Jesy will be seen juggling weekly hospital visits, intimate chats with loved ones, and tearful moments with her partner Zion Foster.
She's also expected to discuss her mental health battles, and the real reason she walked away from Little Mix at the height of their success.
She told fans on Instagram: "We have more exciting news to share… I feel so excited and proud that we can finally reveal we have been filming our own series for @primevideouk .
"We met with the creative director @demidoyle and Producer Gavin at @navybee.tv letting the cameras in wasn't an easy decision for us as it's such a deeply personal time.
"But I knew I wanted to tell my story in my own words.
"We opened the doors fully and I'm really looking forward to letting you all in as I navigate my way to becoming a first time mum to our beautiful baby girls Ocean and Story."
Jesy went on: "I'll be honest, it's not been easy as it's been such a high risk pregnancy, so you'll see all the highs and lows and rollercoaster of emotions we have been going through.
Perrie Edwards says she still cries over Jesy Nelson leaving Little Mix five years on - but insists 'we did everything we could'
"I hope you will all join me on this journey as I really open up and say goodbye to the past and enter this new chapter in my life… Coming to Prime Video.
The series is produced by Navybee, the team behind Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
Jesy announced the birth of her babies on Instagram and said they were "healthy and fighting strong" despite being born prematurely.
She also revealed to her fans that she had named her daughters Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster.
She has yet to reveal the meaning behind the names, although Ocean's middle name is likely to be a nod to Jesy's older sister, Jade, with whom she is very close.
Jesy had been staying in hospital after being diagnosed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare but serious condition in which blood flows unevenly between identical twins sharing a placenta.
One or both of her babies were at risk of dying, but in March she underwent an emergency procedure to give her babies the best chance of survival.
Ocean and Story were born just shy of 32 weeks.
Most babies are born at 40 weeks, however 37 weeks is considered full term and twin pregnancies are rarely longer than this.
Babies born at 31 weeks will likely spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) receiving round-the-clock care.
Announcing her happy news, Jesy wrote on Instagram: "So… Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31weeks plus 5 days.
"It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We've never felt more in love."
New dad Zion said: "My princesses are here. Thank you god."

Freddy Brazier smiles in first appearance since announcing he's entering rehab
Freddy Brazier has been spotted for the first time since announcing that he's entering rehab for an addiction to smoking. The 20-year-old son of Jeff Brazier and late Big Brother star Jade Goody revealed that he is seeking treatment at a facility in Spain. In a lengthy message posted to his Instagram account, Freddy admitted that he had picked up the habit at the age of 12. 'I've decided that I will be cutting down And I want to go to Rehab In Marbs [Marbella] as I feel if I'm in England I won't take getting clean seriously,' said Freddy, whose mother died when he was only four years old. 'I've been smoking from the age of 12 and it's time to stop it was a bad coping mechanism that turnt into an addiction something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what ok.' Days later, and the Celebrity Race Across the World contestant was all smiles as he showed up at a Jurassic World event in London. Freddy seemed in high spirits as he arrived at Jurassic World: The Experience at NEON this Saturday, at Battersea Power Station Posing in front of one of the franchise's iconic Velociraptors, Freddy wore a £2,000 Louis Vuitton patterned denim jacket with a plain black T-shirt and beige trousers and trainers. Created by NEON, the Jurassic World experience allows visitors to mingle with dinosaurs as they wander from genetic laboratories to fossil pits. The star-studded event, which coincides with the upcoming release of sequel Jurassic World Rebirth, was also attended by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Countdown star Rachel Riley, and TV presenter Fearne Cotton. Freddy's visit comes days after he announced his rehab plans. He's reportedly doing so in an attempt to repair his fractured relationship with dad Jeff. Freddy is the youngest of Jeff's two sons. He and Goody also share 22-year-old Strictly Come Dancing and EastEnders star Bobby Brazier. Freddy is believed to be living with grandmother Jackiey Budden, to Jeff's chagrin. TV personality and ex-husband of Goody, Jeff, has reportedly taken legal action to keep the pair apart, growing increasingly worried as his son was photographed allegedly 'smoking a joint' with his gran. 'Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his nanny for very long,' a source told The Daily Mail of tensions between father and son. 'Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much,' added the insider. 'They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat, where he has often stayed over the years. Freddy's decision to seek rehab for his smoking 'addiction' comes as an attempt to repair his relationship with his father. More Trending In the post, he reveals that he's found a boxing club and rehabilitation centre where he hopes to get the habit under control. 'I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side,' he revealed in his Instagram post. He continued: 'I haven't been able to feel love properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.' 'Mind your business and have a good rest of the week x', he signed off. Got a story?

Prince Harry's latest stunt sends a terrible message – the King should sever him for good, says expert
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE Harry has reportedly considered changing his surname to Spencer, stepping away from his family's name, Mountbatten-Windsor. While reports say the Duke of Sussex was counselled against the decision by Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, royal experts have claimed that it 'sends a message' to the royals. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Prince Harry should be cut off by King Charles after wanting to 'ditch' his Mountbatten-Windsor surname, claims a royal expert Credit: Getty 7 It was reported that Harry has reportedly considered changing his surname to Spencer, after Princess Diana Credit: AFP 7 Harry is said to have consulted Diana's brother, Earl Spencer about the idea Credit: Getty Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, former Sun Royal Correspondent Charles Rae said: 'I think as well that this is another Harry not knowing what he wants to do. 'It was only less than a month ago that he was pleading for a reconciliation with his father and his brother. 'And the next thing we hear, and I think the story was well sourced, he wants to change the name from Mountbatten-Windsor to Spencer. 'Well, that is sending a terrible message to the royal family that he doesn't really want a reconciliation. 'He wants to be completely severed from the royal family. 'And I think the king should grant his wish. 'I think he should sever him from the royal family.' The 40-year-old asked Princess Diana's brother - Earl Spencer - for advice during a visit to the UK, it is claimed. But the Duke of Sussex was reportedly told the legal side of doing so would be too difficult. A friend of Harry's told the Mail: "They had a very amicable conversation and Spencer advised him against taking such a step." There's nothing much left of 'erratic' Harry in terms of a man, he's just watching Meghan crack on Royal correspondent Sarah Hewson added on Royal Exclusive: 'I mean, is it to send a message to the royal family? 'Is it to say, 'ok, fine, you don't want to talk to us, then we're not a part of this anymore'. 'Is it because he feels much closer to his Spencer relatives? 'They are the ones who turned up for the 10th anniversary Invictus service at St Paul's, for example. 7 If Prince Harry changed his surname, his daughter would be known as Lilibet Diana Spencer Credit: Instagram 7 On The Sun's Royal Exclusive show Charles Raw and Sarah Hewson spoke to host Bronte Coy Credit: Supplied 'There weren't any members of the royal family there. Is it to honour his mother? 'Some more cynical commentators have suggested, well, it would be very good marketing in the United States to have the Spencer name and Lilibet would then be Lilibet Diana Spencer.' SURNAME CONFUSION Harry's children go by Mountbatten-Windsor - which combines the Royal Family's name of Windsor and the Duke of Edinburgh's surname. However, Meghan Markle claimed in her Netflix show that her surname is now Sussex. The couple became the Sussexes when the late Queen gave them the titles when they married in 2018. 7 Meghan said on Netflix that her surname is Sussex Credit: Netflix Harry previously had the title Prince Henry of Wales. But on his wedding day, he became The Duke of Sussex, a title which had been vacant since 1843. Meghan was seen to firmly correct Mindy Kaling after her friend called her Markle on her Netflix show. In an episode on With Love, Meghan, the Duchess said: "It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghan Markle' – you know I'm Sussex now. "You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children'. "I didn't know how meaningful it would be to me but it just means so much to go 'This is OUR family name. Our little family name.' " Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname of descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. 7 Relations have been tense between Prince Harry and his UK family in recent years Credit: Getty Questions were raised when Harry and Meghan called their daughter a princess for the first time in 2023, when her christening was announced. The children were then officially named as prince and princess on the Royal Family's official website. Archie and Lilibet are sixth and seventh in line to the throne. Before their titles were listed as prince and princess on the royal website, they were down as Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. They gained the titles when King Charles became the King, as they are grandchildren of the monarch.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents stunned on the red carpet this week - but can you guess who she is ? The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother and is set to have a huge role in an upcoming Hollywood film. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents stuns on the red carpet Credit: Getty 5 The star is following in the footsteps of her famous actress mother Credit: Getty Nico Parker wowed on the red carpet at the Train Your Dragon Immersive Experience screening at Frameless in London, this week. The 20-year-old showed up and showed out in an elegant cream and pink dress with sheer laced sleeves and back which draped to the floor. The British actress paired the look with some pointed nude heels and some simple jewellery. If you haven't already guessed Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton and famous director Ol Parker. Thandie and Ol also share 24-year-old Ripley and their youngest son Booker. Nico shot to stardom at just 14-years-old with her Hollywood debut of the remake of Disney's classic live-action Dumbo. She has gone on to have notable roles in HBO's hit series The Last Of Us and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Now, the actress is set to star in her biggest role to date as Astrid in the upcoming live-action remake of the 2010 film How To Train Your Dragon. The film is set to release in the UK on June 9. The story will follow Hiccup played by standout actor Mason Thames on his journey bonding with a dragon, Gerard Butler will also be starring in the film as his father Stoick. How To Train Your Dragon Trailer (2025) official trailer This week, while promoting the film, Nico opened up about her famous mum and dad, on ITV's Lorraine, and revealed how "supportive" they were about her career. "My parents, the really lovely thing about both of them is that their advice is predominantly about, you know, how to be a good person, rather than, you know, how to behave on a film set," she said. "And I think that what's lovely about that is that the two kind of bleed into one another, because I think it's much more important to be a nice and normal person and be kind to others, rather than, you know, know what angle best suits you. "So, the advice that I get from them feels very, very much more so about life and things like that. 5 Nico is the daughter to none other than actress Thandiwe Newton Credit: Reuters "And the wonderful thing about that is that you can then take it on to work and wherever you go." Back in 2018, Thandiwe appeared on UK daytime show This Morning and spoke about how she manages her daughter entering the acting world. She said: 'Having a mother and father in the industry… she's been on endless sets. It's not that she takes it for granted, but it's not a world that she feels she's not entitled to be in. '(Plus) she has her mum right there like a lioness checking that everything is looked after. You can't stop the industry operating the way it has unless the truth comes out. 'I feel this great relief, excitement for the women coming into this industry now,' she added. 5 Nico's dad is famous director Ol Parker Credit: Getty
