Penning an Instagram caption, Jesy stated that being in the band had been “the most incredible time” but she has to now “embark on a new chapter”.

Although her former bandmates are sad, they are also fully supportive of Jesy’s decision and even agreed that her mental health and well-being comes first. In fact, they even stated that travelling as a trio is not as bad and are even enjoying their whole new Little Mix journey.

Starting out as hopeful singers and turning into international celebrities with chart-topping albums and songs, Little Mix has definitely come a long way in their career. They are currently number five on the Billboard chart with their hit ‘Sweet Melody’.
