the girls health will always be the number one priority. it's going to be weird not having jesy at the EMA's but the girls are professionals and they know how to deal with situations with having one member down. I hope jesy gets well soon though bless her

The final of Little Mix: The Search airs tonight on BBC One at 6:05pm.
