Jesy Nelson has issued an urgent plea for assistance this morning after her car was stolen from outside her home in Brentwood, Essex.
The 34-year-old former Little Mix star, who found fame on The X Factor in 2011, revealed thieves took her black Land Rover Defender from her driveway at approximately 3am this morning.
The star posted about the theft on her Instagram story, offering a substantial £10,000 reward for information leading to the car's recovery.
The singer stated the money would go "to whoever helps recover it", as she desperately seeks the return of her vehicle.

In her Instagram appeal, the singer urged anyone with information to either send her a direct message or report details to the police.
"My car got stolen off my driveway in the early hours of this morning, if anyone sees a black Defender reg plate JJ73SSY," she wrote.
"Please, if any of you have seen or know of any information can you DM me or contact the police."

The theft is particularly distressing for Nelson because the Land Rover contains vital medical equipment used to care for her twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.
"I have so much of my girls' hospital equipment in that car that's really needed," she explained in her appeal.
Both children have been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy - a rare genetic condition that leads to progressive deterioration of muscle strength.

The illness means the twins are unlikely to ever walk or develop the ability to hold their heads up independently, making the specialised equipment essential for their ongoing treatment and daily care.
Ms Nelson's daughters' diagnoses prompted her to become a vocal advocate for earlier detection of the condition.
She launched a petition calling for SMA to be included in the newborn blood spot screening test, commonly known as the heel-prick test, which checks infants for serious health conditions.

In January, Ms Nelson met with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to discuss how earlier diagnosis could have transformed outcomes for her twins.
She subsequently became a patron of SMA UK in February, and expressed pride this month when the government announced screenings would begin in October 2026, three months ahead of schedule.
