Jesy Nelson is reportedly at risk of sparking tension between herself and her former Little Mix bandmates with her solo material which is said to sound very similar to the band’s music.

The singer, 30, left Little Mix last December for the sake of her mental health and is now gearing up to release her debut single next month.

However, a source told The Sun that Jesy’s similar sounding tracks won’t go down well with Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, who it’s claimed she primarily speaks to now through lawyers.

The insider said: ‘Things have got progressively more strained, but seeing her return with a song and an image that could have been taken straight from the Little Mix playbook is going to be very divisive.

‘The girls always vowed to stay friends after all they had been through, but now most of their communication happens through intermediaries including lawyers and managers, which is a real shame.

‘Jesy’s new video shoot could have been a Little Mix single, it’s packed with choreography and the style is very similar too.’

The source added Jesy’s ex-bandmates may wonder why she quit the band when she has returned just eight months later with a similar look and sound.

After leaving the band, Jesy admitted the pressure she felt to look her best in their music videos took its toll on her.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan about the Sweet Melody video, she said: ‘The last music video we did was the breaking point.

‘Whenever we had a music video, I put an enormous amount of pressure on myself to try to lose weight. I have a fear of looking back on the camera.

‘If I don’t like what I see, I find it so hard to be in front of the camera and feel amazing and perform.’

Last week Jesy wiped her Instagram account ahead of her hotly-anticipated debut solo single, which allegedly will be released in September.

The former Little Mix star removed all her posts on the social media app, unfollowed everyone and changed her profile picture to a red circle.

Fans soon took to Twitter to comment on the drastic measures, asking why Jesy’s online social media presence had disappeared.

An insider told The Sun Jesy dedicated the beginning of the year to her new music and it has all come together quickly after spending months in the studio.

‘Her new record label Polydor are keen to strike while the iron is hot, so they are throwing everything at her project and want the first single out in a matter of weeks.  

‘It is more upbeat than some might be expecting and there will be plenty of choreography in the video.’  

Meanwhile, it’s said the Romford-born star is finding it ‘so refreshing’ working as a solo star.

The source added: ‘The difference this time is that she is not comparing herself to her bandmates. It’s been so refreshing for her. Jesy has been working hard and is feeling really positive about this new chapter of her career.’ 

Before the wiping of her Instagram page, Jesy excited her fans by teasing that her ‘new era is pending’.  

Jesy won The X Factor alongside Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade in 2011.

Together Little Mix sold over 60 million records, making them one of the biggest girl bands of all time.

Jesy confirmed her permanent departure from the band just weeks after revealing she was taking a temporary hiatus from all work commitments.
