Nelson, 28, revealed the look after last week’s report that she had split from her Hughes after the pair spent 16 months together.

According to The Sun Online, the singer and the former Love Island star reportedly ended things while isolating in separate houses during the coronavirus lockdown.

A source told the publication that the pair remain “very amicable,” and are “absolutely fine” with the decision.

“Jesy and Chris split up a couple of weeks ago,” the source said.

“It was all very amicable and they’re still really good friends.

“They had a chat on the phone about their relationship and both agreed that it felt like it had run its course - they’re both absolutely fine.”

Nelson’s representatives declined to comment on the rumour.

The pair were first linked in January 2019 after being spotted on a date at a Harry Potter-themed bar in London.
