Perrie Edwards draws a line under ‘difficult’ friendship with Jesy Nelson in candid admission

Perrie Edwards branded Jesy Nelson “difficult” as she opened up on her relationship with her former Little Mix bandmate.

Speaking to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast on Wednesday (10 June), the singer discussed Nelson’s high-profile split from the girl group in 2020 and their friendship fallout.

Edwards criticised Nelson for not taking accountability for her actions. “ You did have difficult moments. Granted, there were reasons for those moments, but you can only pick somebody up so many times before you start losing track of your own sanity.”

Asked if she would ever rekindle their friendship, Edwards said that whilst she loves Nelson, she “doesn’t have the capacity” for her anymore in her life.
