The former Little Mix singer has addressed reports that she will be joining The Only Way is Essex line-up
Jesy Nelson has addressed rumours that she is set to join ITV’s The Only Way is Essex.
The former Little Mix star, 35, has recently let cameras into her life for an exclusive Prime Video docuseries called Life After Little Mix. She also has a fresh documentary, titled Jesy Nelson: Life Changing, which is heading to screens on July 17.
So fans didn’t raise many questions when reports began circulating that her next venture would be TOWIE, considering the singer grew up in Romford. An insider reportedly told The Sun that Jesy is in “advanced talks” to join the reality show.
The tabloid revealed that “a well-placed insider” said: “It’s a total natural fit. Jesy is from Essex and knows a lot of the cast anyway so it’s not going to feel forced. She’s been talking a lot to Lauren and Amy Childs in particular so it’s likely she’ll be a part of their glam mums group.”
But Jesy has shut down these claims just hours after the report was first published.
Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-two said: “Well this is the first I’m hearing of this.” She went on to confirm the only truth behind the rumours, writing: “I can confirm I am defo not joining the cast of Towie. I just like to watch it.”
Fans had been left wondering how Jesy would fit into the show, considering she packed up her whole life and moved to Cornwall to give twin daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster a more peaceful upbringing.
The first-time mum recently revealed the two little girls have been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (also known as SMA Type 1). The rare condition causes progressive muscle weakness.
The diagnosis changed Jesy’s life, and she is set to open up about the everyday realities of raising her daughters in a new “raw and powerful” documentary.
A synopsis for the forthcoming film states: “This raw and powerful documentary follows Jesy as she comes to terms with what the diagnosis means for her girls, adapts to the everyday challenges of their conditions, and finds her footing as a single mother after the break up of her relationship. But this is far more than a personal story.”
It adds: “Jesy channels her experience into a campaign to change how the UK screens newborns for the disease. It’s a portrait of motherhood, resilience and the fierce determination that comes from knowing that a simple change in the system can save lives.”
Jesy Nelson: Life Changing premieres on Prime Video on July 17th
