Jesy Nelson confessed that she feels as if she was robbed of her pregnancy and was terrified to take her twins home after a whopping ten weeks in hospital.
The singer, 34, appeared on the ITV show on Wednesday to talk to hosts Alison Hammond, 50, and Dermot O’Leary, 52, about the birth of her twin daughters after her life-threatening pregnancy, marking her first TV interview since becoming a mum.
The former Little Mix singer was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) – a rare condition that can put one or both babies at risk – and had to undergo surgery.
Then on May 15 2025, Jesy and partner Zion Foster, 26, then welcomed their twin daughters Story and Ocean into the world.
In their first live interview since becoming parents, Jesy said: ‘We made it! We are still confused about who’s who.
‘When they haven’t got their hats on I can tell because Ocean’s hair is receding.

Jesy has been dating Zion since 2022 – and confessed that they still get confused on who is who
‘They came at 31 weeks. When we first found out we were having twins, which was crazy, we were ecstatic. It doesn’t run I the family so it was a complete surprise. His face was like a ghost!
‘The doctor referred us to a twins specialist, which I thought was normal. after the scan he sat us down and told us all the complications that can come.
‘I felt like… I couldn’t believe the percentages of what could happened.
‘I couldn’t enjoy my pregnancy, was constantly worried. We didn’t even want to announce it. It makes me so sad, it should be the happiest time of your life.
‘Thank God everything has gone well but we had no idea this could happen.’
Zion said: ‘While she was going through it all, I could only reassure her and try and stay positive.’
‘I’d have gone mental without him,’ Jesy confessed.

Jesy had to undergo laser surgery and she confessed: ‘I was in denial about needing the procedure.
‘I was being scanned weekly, every time I went it was getting worse and worse. Before I had the laser there were symptoms to look out for. By belly was tight like a drum. Felt breathless.
‘I asked him to feel my belly because I couldn’t tell what was normal.’
‘It felt really tight, my fingers couldn’t go in at all,’ Zion confessed.
And Jesy had the procedure that day.
Zion said: ‘It’s not even guaranteed to work, which is terrifying. It brings back so much anxiety to think about.’
And 10 weeks she went into labour and they stayed in hospital for 10 weeks.
Jesy said: ‘Most people would hate it but because I was in such a state of fear I didn’t want to go home.’
Nearly a month after giving birth Jesy revealed she was finally home with her newborn twins after three months in hospital.
The former Little Mix singer took to social media to share the major update with her fans.
Posting an adorable picture of twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, Jesy could be seen playing on the ground with her little ones.
She simply wrote: ‘My babies made it home for my birthday.’
Fans were left delighted by the milestone, and flooded Jesy with compliments and well wishes.

Ocean Jade and Story Monroe were born at just 31 weeks old, after Jesy was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
Before being released from hospital the twins had been receiving treatment in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Jesy recently opened up about their premature births, telling fans: ‘Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU.
‘It’s the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies.
‘Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can’t because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them and tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them it breaks your heart into a million pieces.
‘Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I’ve ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell’.
In March, Jesy had to undergo an emergency procedure after suffering complications and was advised to remain in hospital until she was at least 32 weeks into her pregnancy.
Throughout the ordeal, her partner Zion Foster admitted he and Jesy, who was seven months pregnant at the time of her procedure, had ‘grown to understand each other on a deeper level‘.

He told OK!: ‘I think it’s at these times when you really, really know what love you have and what your relationship means.
‘And I think for me and Jess, this has just taken it to a whole other level of us knowing we are literally made for each other.’
He said the couple had also tried to make the hospital as much of a home as possible.
‘There’s a couch that turns into a bed that we pushed next to the hospital bed, so we’ve made our own double bed.
‘And it’s like we’ve moved in. The nurses just said, “Oh, my God. It looks so nice in here. It looks so homely”.’
Jesy announced she was expecting twins with her boyfriend Zion back in January after rumours they had split.
Originally from South London, Zion, 26, was born and raised in a Nigerian household by his mother and grew up listening to Gospel music.
It was his football coach who then introduced the star to rap influences as he began listening to Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Usher.
Zion then decided to pursue music as he began recording his own music and sharing it online via SoundCloud.
Back in May it was revealed that Jesy is set to reveal what life has REALLY been like since leaving Little Mix in an unflinching new documentary series about her life-threatening pregnancy that drove her to the ‘lowest of lows’.
The star is ‘now ready to share her truth like never before’, sharing the ‘joy, vulnerability and fear’ of welcoming her children into the world after a complicated pregnancy.
As well fans will see her ‘confront her past’ after leaving the popular singing group in 2020.
Jesy has previously let people into her life after starring in her BBC documentary Odd One Out, which aired back in 2019, and followed her struggles with her mental health.
The couple started dating in 2022 and announced they were expecting in January this year.
