Early life

When she was only five years old, her parents separated, and she had to live with her mother. Her childhood was difficult, as she had to move a lot of times, and it was financially complicated for her mother to raise the four of them.

She went to Jo Richardson Community School to receive her basic education and then proceeded to Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College, where she was one of the best students. Eventually, she studied Arts at both Sylvia Young and Yvonne Rhodes Theatre Schools. She also worked as a bartender at Essex.

Career

In 2011, Jesy auditioned for the eighth season of "The X Factor UK". She was unlucky in the boot camp stage but was given a chance as a part of a group. Together with another member of "Faux Pas", she got united with two members of "Orion" to form a new group "Rhythmix". Eventually, the four girls - Jade, Leigh-Anne, Perrie, and Jesy - decided to change their name to "Little Mix", because of "Rhythmix" already being the name of a children's charity group.

Together with the other girls, Jesy performed wonderful numbers every week and showcased her beautiful vocals. They ended up becoming the first group ever to win the show.

After their victory, "Little Mix" became globally recognised, and they are still active as a group. They have released five albums together: "DNA", "Salute", "Get Weird", "Glory Days", and "LM5".

Jesy Nelson ethnicity

It is known that the singer was born in England. She has not commented on her ethnicity, so many people assume she is white. Once, Jesy posted a picture with dreadlocks, which caused controversy and upset many people because of cultural appropriation.

Jesy Nelson weight loss

During her time on The X Factor, the "Little Mix" star received a lot of unwelcome comments about her weight. She confessed that these comments got to her a lot and made her very upset. After the show, she tried very hard to lose some weight - she went to the gym for regular workouts and followed a diet composed of fruit, salad, grilled chicken and porridge.

However, recently, Jesy opened up about her eating disorder. In a heartfelt story about her struggles, she confessed that she heavily depended on the opinion of people on the internet. As she said, she would drink Diet co*ke for a few days in a row and eat a pack of ham without calories when she felt dizzy. Then, she would break down and binge-eat, which led to self-hate and loathing.

Once, she even attempted to end her life because of all the internet abuse. It took her a while to improve her self-esteem and mental health, and now she considers herself to be in a much better place.

The singer talks more about her complicated journey in the BBC documentary "Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out", which came out in September 2019.

Jesy Nelson plastic surgery

Because of the star's frequently changing facial features, fans began suspecting that she had some plastic surgery done. However, she has never commented on it publicly. In one of the interviews, she and her bandmates talked about their image change. They said that they usually have skincare treatment at Doctor Esho's clinic and rely on successful make-up to beautify their faces.

In mirror.co.uk's opinion, Jesy might have had some non-surgical treatment, such as lip fillers, because her lips have become plumper. They have also suggested that she might have injected dermal fillers in her face to make her cheekbones more defined, though the change in the shape of her face might have also occurred due to weight loss. Still, the star has never confirmed or denied these assumptions.

When talking about the song "Shout Out To My Ex" the female singer described breakups as "horrendous", but said that after every pain people need something that makes them feel empowered, which is what the song did. Many people assumed that she was talking about her own experience.

Today, she is happy together with Chris Hughes, who was a contestant on "Love Island". Recently, Chris broke down in tears while discussing Jesy's journey of dealing with cyber-bullying. He called her very strong and said that he was proud of her.

Jesy Nelson is a huge inspiration to people who have been bullied and are insecure about their appearance. Being in the public eye and enduring a lot of unfair criticism almost broke her, but she got back on her feet and is now having a successful career together with her bandmates from "Little Mix". Her documentary encourages everyone to be non-judgemental and to believe in their own uniqueness.
