Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has unfollowed her fiancé Jake Roche on Instagram, sparking reports that the couple have split. Eagle-eyed social media users noticed that the singer was no longer listed amongst Jake's followers this week, and immediately started to voice their concerns under the hashtag #jakesy.

"If Jakesy are dead, then so am I," one fan dramatically stated, while another added: "If Jakesy have broken up, I won't believe in love anymore."

Others chose to remain more positive. "No jakesy break up, she just accidentally unfollowed him, that happens all the time right??? Right?" one user tweeted. "Don't be alarmed but Jesy is no longer following Jake on Instagram. Could be a glitch/accident as she still follows his family/band x," a second commented.

Jesy, 25, and Rixton frontman Jake, the son of Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie, have been engaged for 18 months. The 24-year-old popped the question last July on stage in front of a huge crowd - with a little help from friend Ed Sheeran.

Ed performed an acoustic rendition of Tenerife Sea, which the couple refer to as "their song", while Jake got down on one knee.

Sharing a photograph of the romantic moment with her fans, Jesy wrote: "I cannot believe what has just happened!

"The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love was there to share it with us. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now, literally cannot stop crying! Future Mrs Roche."

Jesy also gushed about the couple's romance in the Little Mix autobiography, Our World, which was released just last month.

In a chapter entitled About The Boy, she wrote: "Jake's the kind of person who'll do anything for you. If I'm down, he understands why. Just being in his company makes me feel better. He knows the kind of stuff I've gone through, all the bullying, and builds up my confidence, tells me I look better without make-up, that kind of thing.

"In some ways, he's very old-fashioned; he'll hold the door open, send flowers. I love all that. He's well-mannered, and his family is lovely. You can tell he's been well brought up, that his mum and dad, Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie, did a great job."

She added: "Everything about meeting him and falling in love was perfect, like a fairy tale. I feel like I'm with my best friend."
