If a young girl – no matter how talented a singer she is – is being torn apart on Twitter and other (anti)social networks on account of being “fat” (she’s not) and “ugly” (she’s just not conventionally pretty), why would a stylist think it was a good idea to put her in camel-toe-tight gold lame leggings on national TV? Talking point? Yes. Unabashed cruelty? Absolutely. Particularly given the unflattering “up the skirt” camera angle those girls have been subjected to every week. I saw more of Jesy Nelson’s “shape” than I ever wanted to last night – poor lass.

Jesy Mix could look absolutely brill with the right styling – she can fly the flag for “normal” girls everywhere and I hope she doesn’t change too much (i.e. starve herself) now she’s post-Factor. I also hope that whoever works with the band now they’re out of the circus makes the right fashion choices, especially for Jesy…she really deserves it.
