She added: “The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health.
I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard.
I need to spend some time with the people I love, doing the things that make me happy.
“There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focusing on making other people happy, and I feel like now is the time to begin that process.
“So after much consideration and wit a heavy heart, I’m announcing I’m leaving Little Mix.”
Jesy added: “I need to spend some time with the people I love, doing the things that make me happy.
