Jesy Nelson has revealed the first thing she plans to do when she comes out of hospital.
The pregnant Little mix star, 33, has been in hospital since late March after she was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a condition that could put one or both of her babies at risk.
She had emergency surgery to prevent complications around the high-risk condition after revealing both babies had been “living off one placenta”.
At the weekend, Nelson revealed she’s eager to dye her “washed-out” auburn hair a different colour after she’s given birth.
“When I first come out of hospital, one of the first things I wanna do is dye my barnet,” the singer said in a TikTok clip from her hospital bed.
“First of all because... get your greys out for the lads! Second of all, I feel like I've been this colour for like, quite a while now. I don't feel like it's ginger anymore, it's just like a washed out auburn.”
The Black Magic singer went on: “So Zion [her boyfriend Zion Foster] wants me to go like a browny-blonde.
“And I just don't know. I don't know what suits me, so I want your advice. What like hair colour do you actually love on me best? I can't decide.”
Some fans in the comments urged the star to stay auburn, while others were keen for her to try blonde.
Nelson, who is seven months into her pregnancy, previously said her twins were monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA), meaning they share a single placenta but have their own separate sacs.
According to the NHS website, TTTS affects 10 to 15 per cent of identical twins who share a placenta, and it “can have serious consequences”.
The condition is caused by abnormal connecting blood vessels in the twins’ placenta which leads to an imbalanced blood flow from one twin, known as the donor, to the recipient twin, leaving one baby with a greater blood volume than the other.
Last month, the hitmaker reassured fans that the TTTS had “cleared up,” and that the babies are “still going strong”.
“We just wanted to come on here because we are another week further along, and we feel so grateful and blessed that these little babies are still going strong,” she said in a video from hospital.
“You guys have been so lovely; we’ve seen all of your lovely messages and stories, and it’s really helped us keep going.”
Panning around the hospital room, she added with a smile: “We’re still in here! Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine. Unfortunately, we can’t! Well, we can. I mean, Zion takes me out in the wheelchair down the road, but that’s as far as we can go.”
Nelson announced her pregnancy in January by posting a photo of her with Foster, who placed a hand over her bump.
