Jesy Nelson Unveils Prime Video Doc Trailer as She Presses for SMA Newborn Screening

The new trailer underscores her campaign to add spinal muscular atrophy to UK newborn screening following her twins’ diagnosis.

Overview

  • Prime Video released the first look at Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, a six-part series debuting on February 13.
  • The trailer shows hospital footage from her high‑risk pregnancy, including a doctor warning that 90–95% of twin pregnancies like hers do not result in both babies surviving.
  • Nelson’s pregnancy was complicated by twin‑to‑twin transfusion syndrome, leading to emergency laser treatment, weeks in hospital, and a premature birth around 31 weeks in May 2025.
  • Earlier this month, she revealed her daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy Type 1 and said they have begun treatment.
  • Nelson has launched a petition and met Health Secretary Wes Streeting, urging the NHS to add SMA to the newborn heel‑prick test to enable earlier, life‑improving therapy.
