Little Mix star Jesy Nelson will feature in a new Prime Video docuseries where she will "really open up and say goodbye to the past".

The six-part series, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, will also follow the star through her high-risk pregnancy in the run-up to the premature birth of her twins, born this month.

Nelson, 33, is best known for being a former member of the pop group Little Mix, which rose to fame after winning X Factor in 2011.

After nearly a decade together, with chart-topping singles including their winning song Cannonball, Shout Out To My Ex and Wings, the singer decided to leave the group in December 2020.

The docuseries will take a closer look into her decision to leave Little Mix, her struggle with mental health and fame, as well as the journey of motherhood.

Nelson said: "Letting the cameras in wasn't an easy decision for us as it’s such a deeply personal time, but I knew I wanted to tell my story in my own words.

"We opened the doors fully and I’m really looking forward to letting you all in as I navigate my way to becoming a first time mum to our beautiful baby girls Ocean and Story.

"I’ll be honest, it’s not been easy as it’s been such a high-risk pregnancy, so you’ll see all the highs and lows and rollercoaster of emotions we have been going through.

"I hope you will all join me on this journey as I really open up and say goodbye to the past and enter this new chapter in my life. I hope you love it as much as we do."

Nelson announced her pregnancy with her partner, musical artist Zion Foster, in January and has documented her complications on her social media including Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition which has been described by the NHS as an abnormality of the placenta.

She gave birth to the two twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, on May 15 saying in an Instagram caption: "Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus 5 days."

"It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We’ve never felt more in love."
