Jesy Nelson shows off toned abs in a white crop top and jeans as she leaves LA studio

Jesy Nelson turned heads as she left a recording studio is Los Angeles on Monday.

The singer, 30, who has jetted across the pond to make her first solo album, showed off her toned abs in a simple white bikini top and high waisted cargo jeans from PrettyLittleThing.

Jesy put on a fashionable display as she strutted down the pavement in white heels and sported glamorous make-up, with gorgeous long curly hair tumbling down her back.

The former Little Mix star, who hails from Romford in East London, completed her ensemble with a simple chain necklace, a couple of gold rings and a white Balenciaga handbag.

Jesy seems to be finding comfort in working on new music, after reportedly unfollowing her on-off boyfriend Harry James on social media, in an attempt to separate her work and image from her relationship with him.

It's understood the pair aren't currently speaking and Harry has also unfollowed Jesy, as she blames him for almost ruining her solo music career just as it was getting started.

Her first song as a solo artist, Boyz, featured Nicki Minaj and was released in October and while many Jesy fans were pleased to finally hear a song from her, others criticised Jesy's appearance and dancing in the song's music video as blackfishing (pretending to be black or mixed race).

The video itself had been directed and edited by Harry, with sources close to Jesy reportedly saying the decision to unfollow him on social media was for business purposes.

The insider told The Sun : "It may seem savage [to unfollow him] but it's business. The bottom line is that video almost derailed her ­chances of a solo career.

"Changes had to be made and this was one of them. Because of their history it was decided a working split was needed."

The Mirror has contacted Jesy's reps for comment.

The pair first dated for a year in 2017 before rekindling their romance last year in August during a trip to Antigua.

It comes after Jesy hit back at blackfishing claims last October as she said she was "aware she is a white British woman".

The Essex-born singer told Vulture in an interview: "I'm very aware that I'm a white British woman; I've never said that I wasn't.

"But I mean, like, I love Black culture. I love Black music. That's all I know; it's what I grew up on."

Jesy is said to be now focusing her career as a solo artist with the hope of cracking America with her debut album.
