After a sudden decline in health Jesy Nelson was announced in November that she would be taking an extended break from Little Mix, she has now departed from the band entirely.
Her bandmates shared a news regarding this on Monday remembering the ‘amazing’ nine years the gals enjoyed together.
Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne shared how they are ‘fully supportive’ of Jesy’s decision but assured fans that they were ‘not ready for it to be over’ yet.
We love her very much and agree that it is so important that she does what is right for her mental health and well-being. We are still very much enjoying our Little Mix journey and the 3 of us are not ready for it to be over.
