Jesy Nelson runs away in horror as 'hungry tiger' tries to surprise her

Jesy Nelson got more than she bargained for when interacting with a 'hungry' tiger on Tuesday.

The former Little Mix singer, 31, is currently enjoying a staycation with new boyfriend Zion Foster at Port Lympne Safari in Kent, as her fans eagerly await for the star to release more music.

Jesy and her new rapper beau couldn't contain their smiles as they fed the Eastern black rhinos during their trip earlier this week.

Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, the Boyz singer shared a video of herself interacted with a large tiger roaming around the grounds outside her room.

While the wild animal was tame as Jesy peered at it through the glass door, things quickly took a turn when it launched and pawed the glass separating the star from the tiger - causing the Shout Out to My Ex hitmaker to run away in fear.

"someone was hungry," Jesy joked with her Instagram followers as she captioned the hilarious video.

"How did you get in and out without dying," one of Jesy's followers asked in the comments on Tuesday, with another declaring: "Nope not me, I won’t sleeping at night with that roaming around, next it will come back with its mates to pick lock the door."

Some fans were quick to comment on the hilarious video and joke the tiger is keen for Jesy to release more music.

"Keep your eyes open, we’re manifesting the tiger to remind you we want MUSIC," one fan jokingly told the star, with another adding: "That tiger is me 'WHERE IS THE MUSIC JESY'."

A third quipped: "The tiger wants the album , I know it."

Jesy released her first solo single in October 2021, after leaving Little Mix at the end of 2020, but has failed to follow up on the release of duet with Nicki Minaji, Boyz.

The singer is said to be ready to sign with Warner Records as she gets ready to release her second single titled Cried Out, over a year on from her first solo release.

The potential deal will see her pair with a new company after she parted with Polydor in July 2021, citing creative differences as the sticking point.

A source told The Sun earlier this month: "It has been a tumultuous few months for Jesy but she is working hard to come back with a bang.

"She has had meetings with labels, including Warner, about the possibility of signing a new deal."

The insider claimed labels will keep a close eye on the fan reaction to her next song and confessed Jesy is loving being independent.

However, they added: "But she has made it clear that if someone offers her the right deal, she will take it."
