Jesy Nelson shares tearful confession as she adjusts to life caring for twins after rare diagnosis
Jesy Nelson made a candid confession that she wants to be a mum, not a nurse, after her twins were diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that may prevent them from ever walking.
On Sunday (4 January), the singer shared the devastating news that her daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, have been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1.
Appearing on This Morning on Wednesday (7 January), the 34-year-old said that she has already been taught how to put a feeding tube through their noses, and described the rapid lifestyle change as “so much to deal with”.
"That's the part that really gets to me - I just want to be their mum, I don't want to be a nurse.”
