Jesy Nelson promises to reveal untold story behind Little Mix exit

Jesy Nelson has vowed to reveal the truth behind why she left Little Mix for a 'long time.' 

The former Little Mix star, 34, who recently separated from her fiancé Zion Foster, will explain her reasons in in her new Amazon Prime documentary; Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix.

Speaking ahead of it's release on February 13, Jesy teased what is in store in a Q and A on Tuesday. 

Of why it is now her time to tell the truth, Jesy said: 'I have never really said anything. I have always stayed quiet because - I don't actually know why I stayed quiet. I've just never said anything, and this felt like the time to tell my story.

'I speak about my childhood, my dad, the reasons why I left Little Mix, which I have never, ever spoken about, it was really tough.

'There's been a constant narrative about me and certain interviews where people have spoke and I believe gave a false narrative of why I left, so this was my turn to say my truth and why I left. 

'But I also really hope that it gets put to bed after this because I feel like I have been carrying that weight for a really long time, but who knows. It was the most vulnerable time in my life, but like I said it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and this is my truth.

'What was really lovely - because when I left it was a big explosion and all the headlines and narratives; it felt like quite a dark cloud over Little Mix.'

Jesy quit the group after nine years, blaming the pressures of fame and mental health struggles for her shock decision.
