‘Life is too short!’ Jesy Nelson says she’s “hugging her little chubby belly” as she jokes about Simon Cowell’s high-waisted trousers
Jesy Nelson said she was “hugging her little chubby tummy” as she joked about Simon Cowell’s once-famous high-waisted trousers on Thursday.
The former Little Mix singer, 31, explained she’s learned over the past year to love herself and not care about what people think while she’s focused on her solo career.
Addressing her fans on her Instagram Story, Jesy joked that she no longer uses her pants to cover her stomach like the 63-year-old music mogul once did.

In the clip, she began, “Over the past year I’ve focused on my music, been doing the things I love, I’ve really learned to love myself and I’ve just noticed qualities in myself that I never thought I would have had that they would happen.
“Like little things, I used to wear my pants up here like Simon Cowell and now they’re down here and I’m hugging that little chub belly and I just love it. I do not care.
“What I was trying to say is, whether you’re chubby or skinny or tall or whatever, just fucking accept it because life is way too short to give what anyone thinks.”

Jesy concluded: “And I know it’s easier said than done, but the day you stop caring is the day you start living.”
Simon previously admitted in a previous interview with Radio 2’s Jonathan Shalit that the public mockery of his high-waisted trousers was both a low point and a wake-up call.
He said: “When I first got on TV – and boy did I get a stick for that – I didn’t even think about it.
“Then Ant or Dec noticed I was wearing these really embarrassing pants. Of course it got picked up in the press and then I looked at the picture and I thought, “Christ, they were right”. I didn’t know what I was doing and that stopped.”
