FORMER Little Mix star Jesy Nelson is seen behind the wheel as she learns to drive — aged 32.
The singer was spotted attempting to park a £22,000 red Toyota Yaris during a driving lesson in Essex last week.
It comes after former bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock recently revealed all the other members of Little Mix sought therapy after Jesy’s abrupt departure in December 2020.
The singer, 32, says Jesy’s abrupt exit from the band in December 2020 left her, Perrie Edwards, 30, and Jade Thirlwall, 30, “traumatised” and needing counselling.
In her autobiography Believe Leigh-Anne writes: “It was a complex and painful thing to come to terms with. We all felt it, that pain and sadness. The whole thing felt like a weird break-up, and I wasn’t prepared for it.
“I wasn’t prepared for the intensity of those emotions. The whole thing was abrupt and sad and then it was messy, which made it even more painful.”
At the time, Jesy, 32, cited battles with her mental health and struggles with the pressures of fame as her reason for leaving.
She said: “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.
“There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focusing on making other people happy.”
A month prior to Jesy’s exit, the singer sparked concern after pulling out of the live final of the group’s BBC talent contest Little Mix: The Search and the Europe Music Awards, where they were due to perform.
