Little Mix's Jesy Nelson Shares Heartbreaking Post About Body-Shaming Trolls

If there is only one thing that you read today, make it this.

We may all be very familiar with the girls from Little Mix, but truly, if you aren’t a hardcore stan of the group, you wouldn’t know too much about them separately.

But, the more and more we learn about these babes, the more we love.

Jesy Nelson has recently opened up to her fans on social media and showed a side of her that we haven’t seen too much of before ahead of her appearing in a new BBC Three documentary which is tilted,  ‘Jesy Nelson: My Story’.

The documentary will explore Jesy’s struggles with herself and body-shaming trolls that she faces on the Internet.

In the powerful post, Jesy told her 5.4 million followers that just six months ago, she wanted to "erase" herself from everybody's mind and even her own.

She wrote, "Six months ago this girl was someone I just wanted to forget. I wanted to erase her from my mind and everyone else's memory. I didn't see her as Jesy I saw her as 'the fat one from Little Mix’.”

Adding, "Up until now I hated her not because she'd ever done anything bad but because I was made to hate her by endless amounts of trolling. Since filming my documentary for @bbcone and @bbcthree I've learned so much more than I ever expected to.

"Thanks to all the inspirational people I've met on this emotional journey, I now love the girl in this photo. I've made this documentary for 2011 Jesy and for anyone who might be feeling like she did. I refused to speak about how I was feeling for so long.

"I was embarrassed and scared too. But I was so wrong to feel that way. Please if you are feeling how I did, SPEAK ABOUT IT. Talk to your family, speak to your friends, there's always help out there."

Jesy finished up the post saying, “If you'd have told that girl one day you won't feel sad anymore, I'd never have believed you....and here I am…. Now when I look in the mirror, I don't see Jesy the fat one, I see Jesy the happy one!"

Naturally, the response and support from fans has been incredible!

She is so inspiring.
