Singer Jesy Nelson has admitted she is no longer in touch with her Little Mix bandmates.
The star left the band, which also features South Shields girls Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirwall, as well as Leigh Anne Pinnock, earlier this year.
When asked if she had been in touch with them, she told the Guardian : "No, not as much. Not now. I think we all need time. It’s a big thing that’s happened."

She added: "I reckon they’ll look after their babies, go off and do their own things for a while, then make a comeback together.
"I think they’re just as sick as a three. They’re still doing it for girl power. I still love them to pieces. They were like my sisters."
In another part of the interview, Jesy bravely opened up on her eating disorder battle, reports BirminghamLive.
She told the newspaper: "I’d only eat a packet of ham for a day or drink Diet Coke for a week and not eat anything.
"And then I remember, getting to my skinniest at one point, I went on the Daily Mail website, which I was obsessed with, and there was a pap picture of me and the headline was about me losing weight.
"All the comments were about ‘Oh my God she’s far too skinny, she looks awful,’ and I remember feeling so happy because that’s all I’d ever wanted."
She added: "Now I look back, it’s mad. I went to see a therapist and she said, ‘You know that’s an eating disorder, don’t you?’ I never realised just drinking Diet Coke for a week was an eating disorder.
"My manager said, ‘Jesy, you’re so tiny, you’ve got body dysmorphia.'"
