JESY Nelson is in advanced talks to join Towie as the Essex girl looks to make a surprise full-time move into reality TV after her emotional docu-series, The Sun can exclusively confirm.
The former Little Mix singer, 35, and The Only Way Is Essex stars including Lauren Goodger have been dropping some huge hints on social media suggesting Jesy will become part of the line-up.
And The Sun can reveal she will meet some of the team and cast including Lauren, 39, in the coming days to discuss how she could slot into the show.
A well-placed insider said: “It’s a total natural fit.
“Jesy is from Essex and knows a lot of the cast anyway so it’s not going to feel forced. She’s been talking a lot to Lauren and Amy Childs in particular so it’s likely she’ll be a part of their glam mums group.”
Jesy starred in her own Amazon docu-series Life After Little Mix earlier this year, which detailed her discovering her twin daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe had been diagnosed with SMA1.
We’re told that, despite the heartbreaking nature of her series, Jesy enjoyed having a platform to show fans a completely different side to her which is why she’s so keen on joining Towie.
Our source said: “While nothing is confirmed yet, to even have Jesy in talks for the show is a huge deal for Towie. She’s an internationally famous Essex girl who was part of one of the world’s most successful girl groups – to say they’re excited would be an understatement.”
A representative for Towie declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
