Jesy’s break comes following great success for Little Mix, with both their brand new album ‘Confetti’ as well as their talent show ‘Little Mix: The Search’, which saw them put together a number of bands who competed against one another.
Jesy has been a member of the girl band since their formation on the X-Factor in 2011, alongside Perrie Edwards, 26, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 29, and Jade Thirlwall, 27.
Two weeks ago Jesy was forced to pull out of the finals of Little Mix: The Search, after falling ill.
The pop starlet was due to appear on the grand finale of the competition, but a statement released just hours before the live show revealed that she was unwell.
She was also unable to host the MTV EMAs, or perform alongside her bandmates as planned.
A statement released to MailOnline read: ‘Jesy is unwell and will not be appearing on tonight’s final of Little Mix The Search. She will also not be hosting or performing at tomorrow’s MTV EMA’s.’
Chris and Jesy split in April following a one-year romance, at the time the duo were isolating separately amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
