X Factor star Janet Devlin revealed she was a little confused by Jesy Nelson’s Little Mix exit.
Janet and the Little Mix ladies both shot to fame in 2011 when they starred on ITV’s X Factor, with Little Mix going on to win the competition.
Since the show, Janet revealed she hasn’t spoken to the girls since the show but has become a big fan of their music.
The stunning musician chatted exclusively to the Daily Star ahead of her It’s Not That Deep tour which kicked off this week.
Talking to showbiz reporter Carly Hacon on a Daily Star Facebook Live, Janet said: “I think we did one festival together since but we were both busy performing so we didn’t see each other.

Though Jesy’s departure from the group did take her by surprise and also confused her after Jesy announced she was leaving for mental health reasons in December 2020.
She added: “I think I was confused, ‘I’m gonna take a break for my mental health’ and then just releases a single. I was a bit confused, so I’m on the same level as everyone else.
“I just watch everything that happens online because I love a bit of internet drama.

“I love Little Mix and I’m such a massive fun and love their music, so that was the only thing that took me by surprise because I was like ‘I thought you were on a break, but ok…'”
Janet also went on to reveal how she nearly died multiple times.

Janet is now six years in recovery and now aged 27, after joining the ITV competition when she was just 16-years-old in 2011.
Talking about her lowest points, Janet said: “I wasn’t able to turn up for work. I was constantly drunk. I was almost dying a lot either through taking my own life or I could have accidentally died like a million times.
“It was just really bad I was literally going missing for days.
“I wasn’t able to do any work and I wasn’t a functioning human at all, so something had to give.”
