Coming up in this episode of Great Company.
When you become a mum, you almost have to come like a superhuman.
What significant life change did Jesy Nelson experience with motherhood?
They are like my whole heart and soul. You could not write it then what was about to happen. The feeling I got when I walked into the room was like someone had died. There'll probably be a day maybe when the girls turn to me and they say, like, mummy, I don't think I can do that. I'll play them a documentary and I'll say, yes, you fucking can because look what you did.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hi, I'm Jessie Nelson and I'm in great company.
Please welcome Jessie Nelson. Do you look back at that time and just go, that was... Oh, God, yeah.
I had my really shit times in Little Mix, but I also had some of the best times of my life. We were best mates.
When you decided to leave, that must have been hard, right?
Yeah, it was really tough. From the minute I got off X Factor, I felt like I didn't want to be in it. The way it was making me feel was just like I couldn't, I could not handle it. I couldn't deal with it. And my brother was like, just make as much money as you can and then leave.
Best advice?
Now I've been presented with this situation with my girls, I can now, you know, go above and beyond in terms of just the things that they're going to need.
How are the girls now?
They have just overcome so much and they are so tiny. And I'm like, there's nothing you won't be able to do. This treatment is life changing. There's been so many families that didn't get the treatment.
That's why you speaking out is going to help so many people.
Hello, everyone. My name is Jamie Lang, and this is Great Company. Hey, guys. Welcome back to another episode of Great Company. Now, my guest today is the amazing Jessie Nelson. Jessie was part of one of the biggest girl bands of all time, Little Mix. I'm a huge fan. I absolutely love Little Mix in every single way. And more recently, she's become a mom to twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe. But I don't know if you saw her Instagram post or saw the news that Story and Ocean have been diagnosed with something called spinal muscular atrophy, SMA, a rare condition that causes muscles to kind of weaken and waste away. And when I heard this, I reached out to Jessie to invite her onto Great Company to share her story and raise awareness about SMA.
I mean, this conversation is incredibly powerful and I'm so grateful to you, Jessie, for trusting us with it. We covered so much that we've decided to split it into two parts. So part one is today. This is what you're listening to. And part two is coming out on Friday. So keep an eye out for that. Before we get into it, I'm just going to ask you to do one quick thing for me, if that's possible. Please just follow and subscribe to Great Company. It's totally free and we want to keep it that way. Okay. And it really helps us keep bringing the guests you love and making the show bigger and better for you every single week. If you can do that one thing, thank you so much. Okay. Here's part one with the incredible Jesse Nelson.
Hi, I'm Jessie Nelson and I'm in great company.
Hi, Jessie.
Hi. Hi. Thank you for having me.
Man, are you kidding me?
Can I just say, this is a bit fangirly, but I actually am a fan. I don't think you're a fan. I've watched Made in Chelsea from day one.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, but honestly, Jessie, everything you're about, everything that you're doing. Thank you. How are you feeling at the moment?
I have good and bad days, I'll be honest. I won't sit here and be like, oh, I'm fucking amazing because I'm allowed to swear.
How did Jesy Nelson cope with her daughters' diagnosis?
Fuck, shit. Anything you want. I've got the biggest potty mouth, so... Great, go for it. Yeah, I have good days and bad days. I feel like since getting their diagnosis, you know, it's just been like that. Sometimes I wake up and I'm like... feel almost as like I don't even know that they have it and then other days I just want to lay in bed and cry but I can't because you know I have to be there for them and I have to like I was saying it to the guys before like I feel like when you become a mum you almost have to come like superhuman because
