"With weekly hospital visits, candid conversations, and the unwavering support of her loved ones, Jesy navigates the highs and lows of pregnancy, confronting her deepest fears while embracing a new found strength.

"But this journey isn't just about motherhood, she needs to confront her past, too. In this series, she will open up about the life-altering decision to leave Little Mix in 2020, breaking her silence on the relentless pressures of fame, her battle with mental health, and the controversies that followed."

Jesy welcomed her two girls with then-partner Zion Foster back in May 2025. However, just this year the singer shared that her babies had been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, and revealed they may never be able to walk as a result, reports OK!

In the first trailer for Jesy's Prime Video documentary released tonight (January 22), the star is seen in tears in hospital as she prepares for the arrival of the twins following a worrying scan. In the subsequent clip, Jesy and Zion are shown sat opposite a doctor, who tells them: "Ninety to 95 per cent of the time unfortunately both babies don't make it."

"I hate that my body is like, letting me down," Jesy says through tears, as Zion grips her arm in support. She is later shown in a hospital bed as she sobs: "It just gets harder."
