Jesy Nelson shows off her abs in a sparkly crop top on her birthday night

Jesy Nelson looked incredible as she celebrated her 32nd birthday this week, days before her former Little Mix bandmate released her debut solo single.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 31, finally released her first solo single Don’t Say Love on Friday, sending fans into a frenzy and even calling one of them “life-changing.”

Jesy, who was the group’s first to release solo music, has not referenced her ex-bandmates’ new music, but has posted a series of sizzling birthday snaps.

The singer showed off her toned abs in a sparkly silver crop top, which she paired with camo pants and bejeweled strappy heels.

Jesy added even more sparkle to her outfit with a choker-style necklace and wore her tumbling curls piled on top of her head.

Posed on a floating staircase, Jesy wore a flawless layer of makeup on a bronze palette as she smoldered at the camera.

The star captioned the post: “50 never felt so good.”

Jesy, who is actually 32, poked fun at her recent birthday when her fans shared their amusement at the prank in the comments.

One person joked, ‘You’re like fine wine!!! Here’s to 50 more years from you!’

Another said, ‘when you’re 50 I’m dead! Happy birthday legend!’

The post came as Leigh-Anne’s new song was hurtling to the top of the iTunes charts after debuting alongside a very sexy music video.

Former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne, 31, hissed as she slipped into a white latex dress before donning skimpy ensembles for a series of dance routines.

The impressive video also saw the stunner sporting numerous hairstyles, including her raven black braids styled high on her head.

Later, Leigh-Anne modeled a plunging dress with black feathers and a nude illusion look as she strutted her stuff with dancers.

The video ended with Leigh-Anne jumping into the ocean when text appeared on the screen saying ‘To be continued’.

One fan raced to Twitter and dubbed the song, “The best solo debut by a girl group since Beyoncé…Leigh is coming to beat.

Beyoncé Knowles, 41, released her first solo song Crazy In Love in 2003 to critical acclaim.

Another fan commented, “Leigh Anne’s music video is a life-changing experience.”

A third commented, “Don’t Say Love is definitely a hit,” and a fourth suggested that Leigh-Anne was now entering her “epic era.”

Someone else posted, “Visuals come through my girl. What an introduction to who Leigh-Anne is. The video is so beautifully done and every look is a service, you absolutely nailed this my girl. My heart feels so full and proud of you right now. Grab them’.

And: The looks, the sets, the music, the vocals. LEIGH-ANNE DON’T BUY’.

With another excited fan saying, “GUYS!!! Don’t Say Lobe officially reached number 1 on UK iTunes in less than an hour.

In December 2021, Little Mix announced that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus from touring together to pursue their own solo careers.

The group – Leigh-Anne, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall – had continued as a trio after Jesy’s departure three years ago and split after finishing their Confetti tour in May 2022.

The girls – who became a trio in December 2020, when Jesy left the band – are allowed to do their own things for the next few years, but they’ve vowed to carefully coordinate their schedules so there’s no chance they’ll overtake each other on the charts .

Perrie told The Sun: ‘We’ve all said we’ll let each other know when we’re going to release so we don’t clash in the charts. We root for each other, we don’t compete with each other.’

Jade – who signed a deal with Sony’s RCA Records and joined Harry Styles’ management – added: ‘It’s just not going to happen. We will all consciously ensure that.’

Leigh-Anne said: ‘We’re so close and that’s the point. We will communicate about this all the time.’
