Jesy Nelson admits hack she uses when she forgets Little Mix lyrics

By Daniel Merrifield

The Little Mix singer told Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp what she does whenever she forgets lyrics during a live performance.

Ahead of the #BestofCapitalSTB kicking off today from 5pm, Jesy Nelson spoke to Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp about all of the times Little Mix have performed at Capital's Summertime Ball.

Having performed four times at the Ball, Jesy praised Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards for being there for her... Even when she does forget the lyrics.

After Hailee Steinfeld mentioned that she forgot the lyrics to 'Starving', Jesy jokingly agreed with how easy it was to do.

"I just [hold out the microphone]," claimed the 'Break Up Song' singer, after admitting she'd forgotten the lyrics to Little Mix's songs "so many times".

"[The audience] are never going to know, are they?" she continued. "Honestly, the amount of times that I've done it... Because, when you're on stage and you've done it so many times; sometimes I'll be on stage thinking about what I'll have for dinner, and then I'll literally forget I'm on stage."
