Jesy Nelson admits that she is "not talking any more" to her former Little Mix bandmates.

Jesy Nelson has admitted that she is no longer talking to her former Little Mix bandmates.

The 30-year-old singer quit the girl group last December for mental health reasons and has since gone on to launch her solo career.

Rumours of a rift began to emerge in recent months, however, after Nelson was accused of "blackfishing" in her debut single - a charge that she had allegedly been previously warned about during her time in Little Mix.

Discussing the fallout, she told Graham Norton: "We're not talking any more. It is sad but honestly, there is no bad blood from my side, and I still love them to pieces and genuinely wish them all the best.

"I loved my time with them, and we've got the most incredible memories together but It's just one of those things which needs to take time, so who knows. To me, they are still the 'sickest' girl band in the world."

Nelson's appearance on The Graham Norton Show airs tonight at 10.35pm on BBC One.
