Jesy Nelson has confessed that she feels 'empowered' to be on her own in her solo career after breaking down in tears over her rumoured feud with Little Mix.
The former Little Mix singer, who left the girl band in 2021 after a successful ten year stint, appeared on This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes to discuss why her new single, Bad Thing, is of so much importance to her.
The singer, 31, worked with Women's Aid on the video of her much-anticipated new music video as she wanted to raise awareness for domestic abuse.
Discussing her solo career in the studio with Phillip and Rochelle, Jesy said that being on her own has 'empowered' her and pushed her to better herself and move out of her comfort zone after almost a decade being with Little Mix bandmates, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
