Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson broke down on stage during the bands Get Weird tour.

Nelson, 24, was overcome with emotion as she joined her band mates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh Anne Pinnock on stage at Dublin’s 3Arena.

Introducing their song Little Me, she said: “If you’re ever feeling really c*** about yourself or you’re not feeling confident this is exactly why we wrote this song.”

Unable to keep composed she broke down into tears, telling fans: “God I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

Nelson’s band mates quickly rallied around her with Edwards telling her that she is simply “excited”.

Trying to fight back the tears, Nelson continued: “God I’m so emotional. Ireland what have you done to me.”

It is unclear what caused Nelson to break down, but hours after the incident the girl band cancelled two further dates on their tour.

A statement on the band’s official Twitter account read: “Little Mix have unfortunately had to cancel both of their Arena shows in Belfast today.

“Sadly Jesy is unwell and unable to sing, and as a result both the matinee and evening shows are cancelled.

“Little Mix would like to apologise to their fans. Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets and await further news.”
