Jesy Nelson has been left 'at her wits' end' after thieves reportedly stole her car containing vital medical equipment for her twin daughters from outside her Essex home last week, according to a source quoted in Heat magazine. The former Little Mix star, 34, who has spoken publicly about her babies' diagnosis with SMA1, is said to be feeling 'sick and angry' and increasingly vulnerable as she tries to cope as a single mother.

The news came after a series of already bruising months for Nelson. Her twin girls, Ocean and Story, were diagnosed late last year with type 1 spinal muscular atrophy, a rare progressive muscle-wasting disease. That diagnosis, the source says, arrived after a delay that meant the babies missed the optimum window for life‑changing treatment. Then in January she split from her fiancé of four years, Zion Foster, leaving her to shoulder almost all the day‑to‑day care for two chronically ill infants.
