A LITTLE Mix feud has arisen once more after Perrie Edwards mysteriously removed her like on Jesy Nelson’s body positivity post – just hours after her “olive branch”.

The two women previously fell out when Jesy, 34, left the band in 2020, with Perrie describing her leaving as “losing a limb”.

Today Jesy, who gave birth prematurely in May following complications, posted a slew of sweet snaps on Instagram of herself with her post-pregnancy body holding her babies.

The singer told fans she had “never felt prouder” of her body, having always struggled with self image.

However, in what appeared to be an “olive branch” following a five year fall out, her former Little Mix bandmate Perrie Edwards “liked” the candid post.

This didn’t go unnoticed by fans who shared their excitement on X/Twitter.

One tweeted:”Perrie Edwards liked Jesy Nelsons post on Instagram… I am dreaming?”

While another said: “Perrie liked Jesy’s post, mixerland is healing, I can go party with Jade in peace.”

Another said: “Perrie has extended an olive branch to Jesy!”

But their excitement was short-lived, as mysteriously Perrie no longer likes the post.

It’s not known why the singer suddenly removed her ‘like’ on Jesy’s post.

Perrie recently said “it was like losing a limb” when her friend left Little Mix in 2020.

Jesy quit the band in 2020 for health reasons, with the others taking a break since 2022.

Speaking about how their friendship ended after Jesy left Little Mix, Perrie said told Glamour UK: “It’s about a friendship that I once had, that I no longer have anymore.

“We talk about breakups and heartbreak, but we don’t normally talk about friendships that break down. 

‘And it was like losing a limb. I was with her every day. We lived in each other’s pockets.”

Although Perrie may have removed her ‘like’, Jesy’s post did receive a lot of positive feedback from fellow celebrity mums:

Singer Jessie J wrote: “This is the energy for life. YOU are beautiful.”

While Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan said: “I wish you could have seen yourself through our eyes, you have always been so beautiful.”

Love Island legend Shaughna Phillips added: “Incredible woman, incredible mama.”

Jesy’s full inspiring post read: “I never thought it would have taken two beautiful girls, that I could’ve potentially lost, to make me realise how incredible my body actually is.

“33 years of extreme diets, of putting myself down and almost going through with a boob job, to standing here having this photo taken.

“I can honestly say I’ve never felt prouder of my body and what it has been through!

“Yes my boobs hang lower and my belly is bigger and squishier — it doesn’t look how it used to, but my god it created the best gift that has happened to me.”

Jesy was trolled about her weight in her Little Mix fame.

She hit back in 2018, posing naked with bandmates Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall, with slurs written on their bodies to plug single Strip.

She adds: “I never want my girls to feel the way I did about my body for so many years.

“So to all the future mummies or those who have just given birth, if you’re struggling with how you are feeling in yourself or are maybe even feeling the pressure to ‘snap back’ just take a moment to remember what you did!

“Be kinder to yourself, and remember you are incredible.”

“She has found inner peace.”

It looks like wowing the judges on “Dancing With the Stars” is now an Irwin family tradition.

Robert Irwin hit the stage Tuesday for the first time with pro partner Witney Carson on the Season 34 premiere of “Dancing With the Stars,” knocking out an upbeat jive set to “Born to Be Wild.” The first thing the wildlife conservationist did after nailing the routine was run to hug his sister, Bindi Irwin, who was in the audience along with other family and friends.

The judges called the performance, which closed out the night, “absolutely brilliant.”

“Crocs are my comfort zone, dancing is not,” Robert Irwin said in the introductory package that was shown right before his performance. In the same compilation, Carson explained that a jive is difficult for a first dance and praised Irwin’s positivity.

Bruno Tonioli was the first judge to address the pair, getting on his feet to tell Irwin that the performance “wasn’t [just] good, that was great.”

Derek Hough, who was Bindi’s pro partner when they won the Mirror Ball during “Dancing With the Stars” Season 21, told Robert that he was “so relieved because you had some big shoes to fill.”

“You didn’t just fill them; you owned those shoes,” said Hough, who asked if Irwin had been practicing for this moment for the last 10 years. “That was probably the best first dance I’ve ever seen on this show.”

Earlier in the episode, Irwin said that when he watched his sister win 10 years ago, he had thought, “One day, that’s going to be me.”

Watching Bindi win in 2015 also served as preparation for Robert.

“I feel like I had a good idea of what this show was about coming into it, cause my sister had done it,” Irvin told E! News. “Bindi just said, ‘Take a breath and enjoy every single second of it … really try and enjoy this cause it goes by so fast.’”

Irwin and Carson was awarded 15 points, which put them in a tie for top marks alongside team Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas.

While the Welsh Rugby Union’s plans to halve the number of regions have divided opinion, its vision for the women’s game has been met with an air of optimism.

The governing body wants to move forward with just two professional men’s teams, saying the current model of Scarlets, Ospreys, Cardiff and Dragons is unsustainable.

As part of the reform, the two remaining teams would have professional women’s sides.

Each would have a squad of around 40 home-grown players with the Union pledging “significant investment”.

The plans are currently out for consultation.

Wales women’s head coach Sean Lynn has welcomed the proposals.

Speaking from the Rugby World Cup, he said: “It’s a symbol of positivity in the women’s game, I think it’s only going to benefit us.”

Lynn would not be drawn on where he would prefer the two women’s sides to play.
