Jesy Nelson has shared a series of sizzling holiday photos from her recent birthday celebrations in Mykonos, Greece, expressing a longing to return after an emotional year. The former Little Mix star posted a carousel of sun-soaked snaps on Instagram, captioned "Take me back," showing off her abs in bikinis while enjoying the glamorous Greek island's crystal clear waters, speed boat rides, and family dinners.
Birthday Celebrations in Mykonos
Jesy turned 35 on the Greek island last month and described the trip with family and friends as "possibly the best birthday I've ever had." The singer cruised through the Aegean Sea on a speed boat, partied at beach clubs, and dined with loved ones against the backdrop of Mykonos' iconic 16th-century hilltop windmills and the romantic "Little Venice" waterfront. Fans were impressed, with one commenting on X: "Wow you’re gorgeous" and another calling her "the most beautiful girlll."
Emotional Year of Campaigning
The holiday came ahead of the next series of her Prime reality show, Life Changing, which focuses on her twin daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe's diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 and her subsequent campaigning to change UK newborn screening laws. Scotland introduced screening in March, but a similar rollout in England will be limited, with only some areas introducing the tests later this year.
Last month, parliament debated whether screening should be rolled out across the entire UK. However, public health minister Sharon Hodgson defended the staggered launch, leaving Jesy "heartbroken." The star said: "I cannot believe we are still debating this. You are basically telling me that if you live in a certain postcode, you're not as important. It's outrageous."
Call for Nationwide Screening
Jesy emphasized that the plans leave too many babies vulnerable, stating: "If it's safe enough for 72% of England to get this tested at birth, then why is it not good enough for the [other] 28%? How do we justify that? How is that ethical? It makes no sense."
