Jesy Nelson says she could not ‘enjoy' her pregnancy due to health complications
The 34-year-old singer gave birth birth to twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe in May, after documenting pregnancy complications on her social media including twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). According to the NHS, TTTS affects 10% to 15% of identical twins who share a placenta and 'can have serious consequences'. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, Nelson said: 'I couldn't believe the percentages and what could potentially happen to them. 'I almost felt like, from that point, I couldn't really enjoy my pregnancy because I was just constantly worried that something was going to happen. 'I actually had a threatened miscarriage quite early on as well and from then I was like, I don't even want to announce it (the pregnancy). 'When I think back to it now it makes me feel so sad because its like, when you're pregnant, that should be like the happiest time of your life.' TTTS is caused by abnormal connecting blood vessels in the placenta which leads to an imbalanced blood flow from one twin to the other, leaving one with a greater blood volume than the other. One treatment involves using a laser to burn away the blood vessels in the placenta that are causing the unequal flow. Nelson said she was scanned weekly and monitored closely, but within a matter of days her symptoms had changed drastically and she had to undergo the emergency procedure. She said: 'There were symptoms to look out for, it was like, if your belly gets really tight, like a drum, if you're struggling with your breathing. 'And two days after my scan, we'd gone to the park, and I couldn't even walk because I was just so out of breath. But it's so hard when you're pregnant with twins as well, because what is normal and what's not? 'I was just like, well, I've got twins, of course I'm going to be out of breath and of course my belly is going to be really tough, I am growing two humans. 'And then it was thanks to Zion, actually, that I said to him, 'Can you feel my belly? Because I've actually got so used to feeling like this, I don't know what's normal any more'.' The twins' father, musician Zion Foster, said: 'It felt like overnight we literally went from pre-stage to like, you have to have the procedure now. And that procedure is not even guaranteed to work. And I think that was another thing that was terrifying.' After spending more than 10 weeks in hospital after the procedure, Nelson gave birth to the twins 31 weeks and five days early on May 15. The singer is best known as a former member of pop group Little Mix, rising to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011. The group, which included Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall, were behind chart-topping singles including Cannonball, Shout Out To My Ex and Wings. Nelson left the band in December 2020 and has since released two songs as a solo artist – Boyz, which featured US rapper Nicki Minaj, in 2021 and the Bad Thing in 2023. She will feature in a new Prime Video docuseries, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, which will follow her through her pregnancy and take a closer look at her decision to leave the girl group.

Jade Thirlwall's sweet nod to Little Mix as she makes Summertime Ball solo debut
Jade Thirlwall took a moment to talk about Little Mix at Capital's Summertime Ball, saying 'I miss my girls' as she made her first solo debut at the annual concert Jade Thirlwall kicked off the 2025 Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium, making it her debut at the concert as a solo artist. However, it wasn't Jade's first time performing there, as she reminded fans during her set, and gave a sweet nod to her former band Little Mix, saying 'I miss my girls'. As the pop icon stood on the stage, she asked the audience, 'I have done the Summertime Ball a few times before - do you know who with?', before sending fans into a frenzy with a medley of Shout Out To My Ex and Sweet Melody by Little Mix. Jade then took a moment to mention her former bandmates and sweetly mentioned how much she 'misses' them and is 'proud' of all they achieved together. Jade said: 'I really do miss my Little Mix girls a lot and I am so proud of everything we achieved together, but I can't lie Wembley, it does feel nice to do my own songs written about my own personal experiences. With that said, this song was my first single'. The singer, who looked stunning in a red and white miniskirt with a matching jacket, then performed Angel of My Dreams, but not before thanking her fans first. Jade said: 'Before I leave, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for backing me, supporting me as an artist, thank you Capital for having me here today, this is Angel of My Dreams'. The appearance marked a significant milestone in her solo career, following a series of successful singles like "Angel of My Dreams," "Fantasy," and "It Girl". Her performance was highly anticipated, especially after her standout live shows at the Brit Awards and Radio 1's Big Weekend. Since departing Little Mix in 2022, Jade has swiftly established herself as a solo artist and released her debut single, Angel of My Dreams, in July 2024, which debuted at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. Jade's debut album, That's Showbiz Baby, is set for release on September 12, 2025, under RCA Records. Last month, the singer took to Instagram to share the news with fans, posting: "THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! My debut album out 12th September." The announcement was accompanied by a striking image of what appears to be her album artwork, which features Jade in four different outfits and poses. The singer, who will also kick off her first UK and Ireland tour in October, told fans: "This album has been years in the making, so I'm beyond excited that I can finally let everyone know when it's coming out. I'm very proud of 'THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!' as a body of work and can't wait to share it with the world. To be able to perform the album live later this year is also a dream come true. See you all on tour!" This career move comes after Jade has already spent a decade in the spotlight after rising to fame as part of Little Mix in 2011. The band went on to become one of the UK's most successful girl groups, clinching number one singles, Brit Awards, and touring internationally. After the band went on hiatus in May 2022, Jade kicked off her career as a solo artist.
