Jesy is in hospital because she could go into labour at any moment and it’s too early into the pregnancy to risk letting her home.
The 33-year-old was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) which puts her unborn twins at risk of dying.
The diagnosis took Jesy and her boyfriend Zion Foster by surprise and they revealed they had no idea what TTTS was before the diagnosis.
The expecting mum previously had a successful operation – though didn’t specify the type of procedure – after revealing her twins are “living off one placenta.
But the singer is keeping her spirits high with a little beauty therapy.
And despite her serious condition, Jesy appeared upbeat and grateful for the pampering session.
Today she showed off her freshly done eyelash extensions courtesy of a visiting beautician.
“So the lovely @glashesbyhols came and did my lashes yesterday and I can honestly say I’m obsessed,” Jesy told fans over a close-up clip of her face.
“She put brown lashes on me, which I’ve never had before, and switched up my shape a little — and I absolutely love them. Don’t think I’ll be going back to black now!”
Jesy revealed her pregnancy earlier this year in emotional footage of her ultrasound scan and baby bump.
Moment Jade Thirlwall is left speechless by savage The Assembly question
She later revealed the pregnancy is considered high risk, leading to increased medical monitoring.
The singer has yet to confirm a due date but has continued to keep fans updated on her journey in honest social media posts.
On Sunday she took to Instagram to praise Zion for running the marathon with less than five weeks training, after he signed up to raise money for the charity Twins Trust.
It comes as Jade’s former Little Mix bandmate faced awkward questions about her in a TV show last night.
Jade Thirlwall was left speechless by a savage question on The Assembly as she was forced to open up about the dark side of Little Mix.
Jade is one of four celebrities on ITV’s new series, where she was questioned by interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent or learning disabled and no topic is off limits.
Jade revealed she had broken down in tears over Jesy’s shock departure from Little Mix.
And her Rizzle Kicks rapper boyfriend responded by fetching her a pasty from bakery chain Greggs.
Jade, 32, said at the time: “We were driving up North to see my family.
“I just wailed and wailed for an hour or something.
“We parked up at services and he was like, ‘do you want some peace?’. And I was like, ‘yes’.
“And then he went out into the shops and he came back with a pasty from Greggs and I thought, ‘that’s the one’.”

What is premature birth and what are its risks?
Premature birth is when a baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
About eight out of 100 babies will be born prematurely.
It’s possible for a baby to survive if born around 24 weeks of pregnancy onwards – 24 weeks is the legal limit for abortion.
Babies born this early need care in a hospital with specialist facilities for premature babies, called a neonatal unit.
The risks of having a premature baby include:
- Small size
- Low body temperature
- Breathing problems
- Feeding difficulties
- Cerebral palsy
- Developmental delay
- Vision problems
- Hearing problems
They may have health and development problems because they have not fully developed in the womb.
In some cases, pre-term labour is planned and induced because it’s safer for the baby to be born sooner rather than later.
Risk factors that have been identified for preterm birth include pregnancy with multiple babies, six months or less between pregnancies, a previous premature birth and problems with the placenta.
