During the doc, Jesy spoke bravely about the effects of online trolling.
Thanks to a deluge of cruel messages on social media after an appearance on The X Factor in 2016, including from controversial Katie Hopkins, she admitted that she had found it tough to carry on.
“I was sat in bed thinking this is never going to go,” she revealed.
“I’m going to constantly wake up and feel sad for the rest of my life so what is the point in being here. There is no point in waking up and feeling sad everyday.
“I physically couldn’t tolerate the pain anymore. It feels constantly constantly heartbroken. I remember feeling this has to go away and it was the first time I thought I’m going to do this, I’m going to end this.
“I remember going to the kitchen and I took as many tablets as I could. I just laid in bed for ages and thought ‘hurry up and let it happen’.”
Heartbroken fans took to Twitter to support Jesy.
she's one of the strongest and most inspiring people I know. her story and struggle are unmatched, and her courage to share something so heavy with the world is admirable. I'm grateful she has not given up on living cause she is SO loved. 💛 #WeStandByJesy https://t.co/79I8U6wIIC

This Jesy Nelson documentary needs to be shown in every single school and college up and down the country to show that words can break even the most strongest looking people and ruin so many lives. Just be kind. 🙏🏻 #OddOneOut #LittleMix #JesyNelson pic.twitter.com/GGSzVplpUY

I never have and never will understand why people decide to troll people on social media. They’re the lowest of the low and even though their targets know this, they can’t help but take their comments to heart. Which is incredibly sad. #OddOneOut
