In her most recent documentary series, the former Little Mix star makes a devastating health admission.
Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson was reduced to tears as she confessed her body was “letting me down” in a heartbreaking health revelation.
The singer features in a forthcoming Prime Video documentary called Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix which follows her extraordinary journey to stardom with the girl group and her battles in the public eye across six episodes. The series also captures her challenging pregnancy experience leading up to welcoming her twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster.
The series follows Jesy through the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy complications, including Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition, according to Prime Video’s description of the program, which premieres on February 13.
Jesy navigates the highs and lows of pregnancy, confronting her deepest fears, and embracing a new found strength through weekly hospital visits, candid conversations, and unwavering support of her loved ones.
She must confront her past as well, though, because this journey isn’t just about motherhood. She will make an honest confession about her decision to leave Little Mix in 2020, breaking her silence about the pressures of fame, her battle with mental illness, and the controversy that followed.
Jesy welcomed her two girls with then-partner Zion Foster back in May 2025. However, just this year the singer shared that her babies had been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, and revealed they may never be able to walk as a result, reports OK!
The actress is seen in tears in a hospital bed as she prepares for the arrival of the twins following a worrying scan in the first Jesy’s Prime Video documentary trailer, which was released tonight (January 22). Jesy and Zion are shown sat opposite a doctor in the following clip, where they are told, “Unfortunately, both babies don’t make it.”
Jesy breaks down as Zion grips her arm in support and says, “I hate that my body is like, letting me down.” Later, she sobs in a hospital bed, saying, “It just gets harder.
Jesy has publicly fought for better screening for the condition since discovering that her twins were her twins. Early detection can have a significant impact on outcomes.
According to the NHS: “Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic condition that can cause muscle weakness. It gets worse over time, but there are medicines and other treatments to help manage the symptoms.”
