Jesy Nelson thanks fans for ‘beautiful messages’ after Katie Hopkins reignited feud by calling her ‘desperate and weak’
JESY Nelson has thanked fans for their "beautiful messages" after Katie Hopkins reignited their feud by calling her "desperate and weak".
The 28-year-old star has been inundated with support after the 45-year-old rent-a-gob slammed her sexy pics on social media.
Taking to her Instagram Story last night, the Little Mix star wrote: "Thank you for all your beautiful messages over the past two days.
"You literally are the most incredible fans, I love you all so much and if I could squeeze you all I would.
"I miss you all."
Jesy initially responded to Katie's cruel comments by simply posting more photos, cheekily captioning the post: "Have another one, hun."
The beauty has been open about her self-esteem and body-image battle in the past, winning awards for her critically-acclaimed documentary Odd One Out.
In the film, Jesy admitted that Katie calling her a "chubber" near the start of her career had been a "pinnacle point" that left her "spiralling out of control".
Mum-of-three Katie had also labelled Jesy's band "Packet Mix" in the bizarre tweet following a performance on the X Factor in 2013.
She wrote at the time: "Packet Mix have still got a chubber in their ranks. Less Little Mix. More Pick n Mix."
Earlier this week she took aim at the singer again, writing on Twitter: "These desperate daily pics are showing that contrivance of a documentary to be darn insincere.

"Girls. Be better than this. Beauty is in strength, not weakness that needs validating daily."
Jesy's ex Chris Hughes was among the people to speak out against Katie, with the Love Island hunk tweeting: "How about don't be a b***h your whole life and let that person live.
"You tried it once years back, and it affected her mentally, just don't be that a**ehole.
"She has strength, she has beauty, and she has a heart that only you could dream of having."
