The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health
“We have achieved things I never thought possible. The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health.
“I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard. I need to spend some time with the people I love, doing the things that make me happy.”

She added: “There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focusing on making other people happy, and I feel like now is the time to begin that process.
“So after much consideration and wit a heavy heart, I’m announcing I’m leaving Little Mix.”
Jesy later thanked her bandmates, saying: “Most of all I want to say thank you to Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne for creating some of the most amazing memories I’ll never forget.”
The star previously took a break from the band “for private medical reasons”.
