Jesy Nelson has opened up about her reasons for leaving Little Mix and revealed when she last spoke to former bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Jesy, who released Bad Thing as her first single as an independent artist earlier this week, explained she has 'no regrets' about leaving the girl group back in 2020 and wishes the group 'all the success' in their solo endeavours.
Speaking to The Sun, Jesy revealed: "For me my mental health issues were an ongoing thing while I was in Little Mix. I was struggling with my body issues, I was constantly being trolled – and I really, really struggled with it. "I was in it for nearly ten years.
I think I was never prepared for what was to come. I didn't have social media or any of that, I was just a barmaid working in Dagenham. "For me personally, by the end, I couldn't enjoy the good parts and it’s a shame as I had the most amazing times in Little Mix, but I will say this always, your mental health is the most important thing and you only live once so sometimes you have to stop and look after yourself." Jesy continued: "I needed support and help to overcome that, and there wasn’t the time while I was in the band. "I don’t have any regrets because I had to do what was right for me and I will always cherish the memories I had in Little Mix. "So no, we haven’t talked since then.
