After working through her personal issues, Jesy Nelson has delivered a refreshing message of body positivity, and she’s now pleased to embrace what were formerly hang-ups.
The former Little Mix singer has already spoken out about her insecurity, having been ridiculed about her weight since the beginning of her career on The X Factor, a topic that was strongly highlighted in her award-winning BBC documentary.
Jesy, 31, did, however, step away from the spotlight last year to rest and recharge, and she’s now in a better mental position about her body image.
Opening up to fans in her Instagram stories, the Boyz singer said: ‘In this past year I have been focusing on my music, doing the things that I love, I have really learnt to love myself and I have just noticed traits in me that I never thought would happen.’
She then joked: ‘Like little things, I used to wear my trousers up here like Simon Cowell and now they are down here and I am embracing the little pot chubs belly and I just love it. I don’t care anymore.’
Offering encouraging words for her followers, Jesy continued: ‘What I wanted to say is whether you are chubby or skinny or big or whatever, just bloody embrace it because life is far too short to give a s**t what anyone thinks.



‘And I know it’s easier said than done, but the day you stop caring is the day you start living.’
Before the end of 2022, Jesy updated fans on her solo music and stated she’ll release new songs early this year.
Following the release of her contentious debut single Boyz, it was believed that Jesy had trashed her album and started over.
Jesy’s previous record company then stated the Essex-based star severed ways with label Polydor after they ‘failed to agree on new music’.
She later teased: ‘Thank you to all my amazing fans for being so loyal and patient I promise you there will be music soon but wanted to make sure it was perfect. Keep your eyes out for some clues but it is coming early next year.’
