AceShowbiz - Jesy Nelson hasn't spoken to her former Little Mix bandmates for two years. Quitting the hit group in 2021 after battling mental health issues, the 31-year-old singer has now opened up about up about how she hasn't "talked since" with the disbanded group's other members, 29-year-old Perrie Edwards, 31-year-old Leigh-Anne Pinnock and 30-year-old Jade Thirlwall.
On Monday, April 17, the same evening Leigh Anne revealed on Instagram she would be releasing her memoir "Believe" on October 26, Jade made the revelation to The Sun. About the reason she quit Little Mix, she said, "Being in a girl band, you are a machine going all the time. You don't have a minute to breathe and take time out if you just need space. That was something I struggled with."
"For me my mental health issues were an ongoing thing while I was in Little Mix," she went on explaining. "I was struggling with my body issues, I was constantly being trolled and I really, really struggled. I was in it for nearly 10 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."
Jesy stressed she has no "regrets" about quitting the band, but said about her bandmates, "we haven't talked since then." About the chance of reconnecting with the group, which shot to fame on "The X Factor" in 2011 before going on to sell 60 million records worldwide, she added, "Never say never, but I honestly wish them the best on their solo journeys now, which is so exciting."
"That is what is so exciting about all of us," she continued gushing. "We are all musically different. We will all go in our own lane. I'm rooting for all of them. I honestly do wish them all the success as they are all crazy talented."
Meanwhile, Leigh Anne said about her upcoming book launch, "I'm so excited to announce 'BELIEVE' – my first ever memoir – out October 26, 2023 and available to pre-order now. Ever since we won The X Factor back in 2011, I feel like I've been in a whirlwind. I've had some life-changing moments that up until now, I've never really had the chance to process."
