PREGNANT Jesy Nelson grew emotional this morning as her boyfriend Zion Foster prepared to run the London Marathon.
The former Little Mix singer, 33, is currently living in hospital after being diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) which puts her unborn twins at risk of dying.

She could go into labour at any moment and it’s too early into the pregnancy to risk letting her home.
Today, she shared a picture from her bed as she tuned into the sporting spectacle and wrote: “I feel so emotional this morning knowing my baby is running the marathon for our babies and for Twins Trust.
“Zion Foster my heart feels so proud of you. You got this my angel.”
Yesterday, Zion, 25, and Jesy recorded a video together in which they plugged the charity and asked for last minute donations.
So far they have raised £4,727 towards a target of £25,000.
Zion wrote: “Training has been a rollercoaster ride but it’s all for an amazing cause and I’m ready to cross that finish line.”
Jesy previously had a successful operation – though didn’t specify the type of procedure – after revealing her twins are “living off one placenta”.
The diagnosis took the parents-to-be by surprise and they revealed they had no idea what TTTS was before the diagnosis.
Jesy has kept her fans updated every step of the way and recently shared products she’s been using on her bump.
Clarins’ Tonic Body Treatment Oil is a favourite of hers, which she has been using to prevent stretchmarks.
“This thing is incredible. I have not got one stretch mark on my belly,” she said.
“It could just be good genes, but I do have stretch marks in other places, but it’s been amazing.”
Jesy added: “I love it because it smells amazing. And it’s really hydrating and genuinely I feel like it’s been so moisturizing for my skin.”
The singer then lifted up her t-shirt to show her baby belly as “proof” she did not have any stretch marks.
“This is a big old belly. I’ve got twins in there by the way guys, so look, there’s no stretch marks,” Jesy said.
The next product she shared was a moisturizer by Fat Cow Skincare which she said has kept her skin hydrated after it turned to “sandpaper” during her pregnancy.
Finally, Jesy showed off a set of silky pyjamas, complete with an elastic waist perfect for accommodating her growing belly over the past few months.
“They’re just so comfy, and I could not live without them,” Jesy said.
