Jesy Nelson is fronting a new documentary about mental health

She announced: "This is a project really close to my heart, and I’m delighted to be working with the BBC on a documentary that will both challenge me personally and also highlight a hugely important issue affecting young people today. One in four men and women suffer with mental health and it’s a subject that I think we don’t speak about enough. I’m making this film because I really, really want to make a change and a difference to other people's lives."

Jesy had previously admitted she "struggled" with the pressures of fame at the start of Little Mix’s career.

She said: "When I first started out, I struggled. I never thought I would get over thinking people thought certain things about me. I still get upset when I talk about it. I’ll never get those years back. I was so miserable, I should have been enjoying my f***ing life."

And Jesy is grateful to have her bandmates - Perrie Edwards, Leigh Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - by her side throughout it all as she understands why fame can cause people to struggle.

She shared: "We were lucky to be in a group - if we had gone through all of that on our own we would be f**&ed. I completely get why people start self-harming. There's so much pressure."
