Jesy Nelson backs under-16 social media ban to protect daughters
Jesy Nelson cites the traumatic diagnosis of her twins' rare genetic condition, spinal muscular atrophy, as the reason for her split from Zion Foster after four years together.
- Supporting a ban, Jesy Nelson, former Little Mix singer, said she backs restricting social media for under-16s in the UK in her Prime Video documentary and interviews.
- Longstanding online abuse since 2011 and recent pressure have shaped Nelson's views, amid a wider UK debate on online safety, with the government launching a consultation last month.
- During her pregnancy, Nelson learned the twins had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome requiring surgery, and the twins were born prematurely at about 31 weeks; later diagnosed with SMA Type 1 and received a one-off gene-replacement infusion.
- She has launched a campaign to add SMA to the heel-prick test and met UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting, after which the Department of Health confirmed a large-scale NHS trial.
- Nelson said she worries about bullying if children are excluded from social platforms and a source told The Sun, `She and Zion remain friends and are fully focused on their daughters`.
