There are moments in life that split everything into before and after. Losing someone you love is often one of them.

This Great Moment is for anyone who’s experienced loss or, watched someone they love change after it.

Spencer Matthews is one of my oldest friends, and in this conversation he opens up about losing his brother, Mike, when he was just 10 years old. He reflects on how that experience changed him, what grief has taught him and the clarity it can bring to everything else in life.

This is part 2 of my conversation with the incredible Jesy Nelson.

Growing up in Romford, Jesy always dreamed of being on stage. But years of bullying slowly knocked her confidence until she stopped believing in herself, right up until The X Factor.

Auditioning for The X Factor changed Jesy’s life. Her dreams came true overnight but fame wasn’t what she thought it would be.

In part 2 of our conversation, Jesy opens up about what fame was really like and the relentless trolling that followed her. She shares the real reason she left Little Mix and why walking away was her only option.

We cover:

• Being bullied as a child and how it led to alopecia
• Dancing with Diversity as a teenager
• Auditioning for The X Factor and Gary Barlow’s harsh comments
• The rollercoaster highs and lows of Little Mix
• Why leaving Little Mix was the best thing she ever did
• How motherhood has given her a new confidence

This is one of those rare, real conversations. Jesy opens up about the journey that’s made her who she is today and I’m so grateful she trusted me with her story.

Jesy Nelson is Great Company.

Jesy Nelson rose to global fame with Little Mix, experiencing the highest highs and lowest lows in the public eye. But nothing could have prepared her for motherhood.

Jesy’s world changed when her twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, were diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, a rare and severe condition. Like many of us, my heart broke when I watched her video sharing the news.

For the first time on a podcast, Jesy opens up about her pregnancy, the endless hospital visits, the constant fear and the moment everything changed.

This conversation is raw, honest and incredibly powerful. Jesy, thank you for trusting us with your story. We’re sending you and your beautiful girls so much love.

Part 2 is out Friday 6th February. Jesy Nelson is Great Company.
