Jesy Nelson Nears Six-Figure Deal for 'I'm A Celebrity'

Singer Jesy Nelson, 35, is reportedly nearing a six-figure agreement to join the upcoming series of ITV's reality show, 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'. This proposed three-week appearance in the Australian jungle would offer Nelson a significant public platform following what sources describe as challenging personal and professional years.

Negotiations Advance for Reality Show Spot

Nelson has engaged in multiple discussions with television executives, with ITV expressing optimism for a deal within weeks. Sources familiar with the situation indicate negotiations have progressed to a promising phase. This opportunity could significantly benefit her career and amplify her campaign for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) awareness.

In January 2026, Nelson disclosed that her twin daughters, Ocean and Story, born to her and former partner Zion Foster, received an SMA diagnosis. Since then, she has actively worked to increase public understanding of the progressive muscle-wasting condition. Supporters believe a high-profile ITV appearance could disseminate information about SMA to millions of viewers.

Little Mix Departure Under Scrutiny

Television producers reportedly hope Nelson will address her 2020 departure from the pop group Little Mix. Her exit, after nine years with the band, has been the subject of ongoing speculation. Recently, former bandmate Perrie Edwards stated she removed Nelson from her life due to difficulties, and Nelson herself confirmed in a separate documentary that she had not seen Edwards since leaving the group. Edwards has indicated that a full reunion of all four original members is highly improbable, citing deep hurt from Nelson's actions. Consequently, Nelson's potential appearance on 'I'm A Celebrity' could generate considerable interest, not only for the show's challenges but also for any insights she might offer regarding her past band relationships.

Recent Public Appearances and Relationships Reports of Nelson's negotiations follow her public confirmation Reports of Nelson's negotiations follow her public confirmation of a relationship with Ben Davies. She attended Television Awards alone on the red carpet, but Davies later joined her in the audience for her Authored Documentary nomination. Days after the event, Nelson shared photographs of the couple in coordinated black attire, implying a previously private relationship.

Nelson wore a strapless black dress, while Davies sported a black scoop-neck vest under a matching blazer and trousers. The images garnered positive reactions from fans, many of whom celebrated her new relationship after her earlier separation from Foster. Representatives for Nelson and ITV have been contacted for comment, but no confirmed contract or official appearance date has been announced.
