Jesy Nelson has teased that she's put on weight whilst spending time in California as she works on new music, ahead of the release of her highly-anticipated debut album.
The singer-songwriter, 30, has been living it up stateside in recent months and enjoying herself with pals in between recording sessions for the follow-up to her single Boyz.
This included a trip to the beach in Malibu earlier this week, where she was photographed basking in the sunshine with a group of friends, with them playfully posing for snaps.
And although she's been having an unforgettable time abroad, Jesy revealed how much of a good time she's been having as she relaxed on her stateside adventure.

She opened up in a video on Instagram, in which she showcased the kitchen and pantry in her accommodation, which featured rows of sweet jars and alcohol bottles.
Jesy told fans in the clip: "So since being in America I've definitely put on about 100 stone." She then panned to the food, with her explaining that it's too tempting for her.
The singer further explained in the recent video posted on the social media platform yesterday: "Thought I'd show you the reason why; yeah sweets and alcohol, literally."

Jesy shared her preference for the food in the US, telling fans: "Guys I don't know why but when I'm in America, all I want to do is eat. You guys just have the best food."
The singer - who announced her departure from Little Mix in 2020 - continued to discuss her eating habits with fans, subsequently discussing the pantry in her accomodation.
She referred to this particular room as "the devil," with her then adding: "I mean there's actually not that much stuff in here because we've eaten it all, well, I've eaten it all."

Jesy further commented in the video that she has a tendency to snack when she's bored, with her stating: "I just come in here when I'm bored and I just eat my life away."
The singer has been stateside working on her debut album, following the release of her first solo single Boyz - which was a collaboration with Nicki Minaj - last year.
She hinted last month that new music will be released soon, with fans eagerly awaiting her next single - though a title nor release date has yet to be announced by Jesy.
