Jesy Nelson has dropped a major hint that she’s set to launch a solo music career after quitting Little Mix, by heading to the recording studio this week. 

The Woman Like Me singer quit Little Mix in December explaining that she felt too much ‘pressure’ being in the girl group and would be taking time out to focus on her mental health. 

Perhaps feeling rested and revitalised, Jesy seems ready to get back to work as she shared a Instagram story of herself sitting in the studio with two producers at the mixing decks, including one playing the guitar. 

She didn’t offer any explanation with the picture but left several cheeky laughing monkey emoji. 

On her main Instagram feed, Jesy took a selfie in the mirror with the teasing caption: ‘Let’s go 🎶🎵🎶.’ 

Fans began bombarding the pop star with DMs asking if she was indeed going solo and Jesy only added fuel to the speculation by reportedly replying to one: ‘Maybe.’ 

One fan defended Jesy’s possible decision to release her own music and commented: ‘Jesy ‘presumably’ going forward with a solo career doesn’t mean she didn’t want to be with LM It’s that being in a girl group means you are going to be compared to the other girls all the time, and that was a reason why her mental health deteriorated. Don’t hate on her pls.’
