Jesy Nelson reveals who is Little Mix's toughest judge on The Search 👀

Since Little Mix announced that they were bringing us their very own TV show, The Search, back in 2019, we've been desperate for any scrap of news about it! Although it was postponed due to the pandemic, it's hopefully set to air later this year with Chris Ramsey as the host - but fans are still on the lookout for hints of info.

Thankfully, Jesy Nelson spoke out about the upcoming show on This Morning earlier today - revealing who is the toughest judge out of herself, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock...

"I think we all play that role, but I would probably say me and Pez," she admitted. "I think I’m just quite honest on it. I feel like it’s very current and nothing has been done like this before. There’s all different categories. We’re basically looking for the next big band to join us on tour next year."

Jesy - who has been working on Little Mix's sixth album with the girls - also discussed the girls' duty of care on the show towards younger contestants, "I think you can see that on the show. And I think you can feel that the contestants feel really comfortable on the show with us when they audition for us."

Of course, since Little Mix found fame through going on The X Factor in 2011, they're particularly sensitive about the contestants' feelings, "Some of them haven’t sung in front of anyone before, but I feel like being in front of us they are instantly relaxed because they know that we’ve been in their position and we know exactly how they feel and I feel like we can understand their feelings a bit more.

"Even when they’re coming and they might be a bit nervous and it affects their vocals, we know that first hand, so we’re not quick to be like, ‘No, you’re not good enough’ and not put them through."

Jesy also revealed that she'd found lockdown "horrible" without her girls, "It’s horrible, we’re like family now, so to not be with them for this long has been horrible but I have seen them and it was amazing, because they’re like my sisters."

She spoke out about their new single 'Holiday' revealing that it was actually written a while ago, "We wrote this song about a year ago and it was when we didn’t know if we were going to do another album or we were just going to release singles. So we did a writing camp, wrote a lot of singles and this one kind of took a back seat.

"And then this year when we were all in lockdown we were like, ‘Do you know what? Britain needs cheering up!’ There’s people that can’t go on holiday and so hopefully this will, you know, lift people’s spirits a bit."

On making the video, Jesy said, "It was so weird. The minute I got to the studio everyone had to have their temperature checked, there were people in these bodysuits, these visors. Our makeup artists and our hair stylists had to have these suits on. It was the weirdest experience ever, but it was fun, but it’s amazing how they’ve done it. You would never know that we’ve been superimposed in the video, so it’s very cool."

Jesy also opened up about the feedback she's had on her documentary, Odd One Out, "I get a lot of people stop me in the street, I get a lot of parents and teachers that tell me they’ve made it part of their curriculum, it has to be played in the classrooms which is just incredible."
