After leaving the band in a shock move, Jesy opened up about how being in the band had negatively affected her mental health.

"When I'm in front of a camera, I don't know what to do," she told the Guardian. "The other three girls would be in the weirdest positions and look fabulous. If I did it, I'd look awful."

"It's like a drug. I was reading it every day. The minute I got up it was the first thing I did. I'd type in 'Jesy Nelson' and then 'Jesy Nelson fat' or 'Jesy Nelson ugly', and read what everyone said about me. 

"I was trying to mentally prepare myself for what was to come and get used to what people were saying about me.

"There were times I didn't want anyone to look at me. I felt everybody hated me. I didn't know what I was doing wrong, and it consumed me."
