Jesy Nelson Appeals for Help After Car Theft
Jesy Nelson, former member of the girl group Little Mix, has issued a public appeal following the theft of her vehicle containing crucial hospital equipment for her twin daughters.
The 34-year-old singer reported that her black Range Rover was stolen from her driveway in Brentwood, Essex, at approximately 03:00 BST on Sunday.
Her twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson, have been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition characterized by progressive muscle wastage.
Nelson took to Instagram to request assistance, offering a £10,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the car.
"My car got stolen off my driveway in the early hours of this morning, if anyone sees a black Defender reg plate JJ73SSY.
"Please, if any of you have seen or know of any information can you DM me or contact the police.
"I have so much of my girls' hospital equipment in that car that's really needed."
Campaigning for SMA Screenings
Earlier in April, Nelson expressed pride in the announcement that SMA screenings would be introduced in the UK earlier than initially planned, starting in October 2026.
Following the diagnosis of her twins, Nelson began advocating for newborn SMA screenings and launched a petition to include the test in the newborn blood spot screening program.
She was visibly emotional when the petition surpassed 100,000 signatures.
