traumatic

ZION Foster has shared a candid post about “traumatic moments” and “stress” following his split from Jesy Nelson.

The couple parted ways following the birth of their twin daughters, who have been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, but remain close as co-parents.

Now, with the release of the first trailer for Jesy’s new Amazon Prime docu-series; Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, Zion has shared an insight into what went on behind the cameras.

Sharing the trailer, Zion wrote: “It’s finally here, coming to your screens via @primevideouk & @navybee.tv.

“The past year and a half has been a rollercoaster. When @jesynelson and I started this project we couldn’t see the road ahead, but to see how it all played out and having it filmed simply feels like God’s plan. The show is raw, authentic and honest.”

Continuing to reference their daughters Ocean Jade and Story Munroe’s diagnosis, Zion admitted it has been a “traumatic” time.

He said: “As a new family we were under immense pressure and stress. Alot of traumatic moments but nonetheless we made it here today. I believe this is only the beginning of our journey.

“Praying for clarity, peace and growth so we can continue to navigate the challenges we face; and give Ocean and Story the best support system possible. God’s in control”.

The new docu-series, titled Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix follows the 34-year-old’s life after going solo and becoming a mum.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Jesy and Zion had parted ways, despite getting engaged four months ago.

A source said of the singer: “She and Zion remain friends and are fully focused on their daughters.”

With the source adding that the former couple are “united in co-parenting”, Zion and Jesy have been focusing on the wellbeing of their twins.

Ocean and Story have Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 — the most severe form of a rare disease affecting muscle strength and movement.

Jesy and Zion have been told it is unlikely the girls will ever walk, and may face serious breathing and swallowing difficulties.

Jesy is working tirelessly to raise awareness of SMA and campaigning for the condition to be added to the NHS newborn heel-prick test, which currently screens for ten other conditions.

Symptoms of SMA depend on which type of condition, but the most common include floppy or weak arms and legs, as well as swallowing and breathing problems.

If untreated, the life expectancy of a baby with SMA Type 1 is two years.

Early intervention is ­considered critical in limiting long-term impacts.

If the twins had been tested and treated in time, there is a chance they would have avoided disability.

It is now unlikely they will regain their neck strength after the disease caused nerve cells to die, leading to progressive muscle weakness.

Ocean and Story are under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital in ­central London and have received treatment, including a one-off gene-therapy infusion approved by the NHS.

Ospreys are currently playing out of Bridgend this season where a crowd of 4,052 turned out to watch in wet and windy conditions.

Fans were asked to light their phone torches on 11 minutes as a message to say “they will not ignore the disgraceful treatment of Ospreys players, staff, and supporters”.

The crowd obliged and there were resounding boos directed towards rugby bosses.

Ospreys staff had been in tears this week not knowing what the future holds and that frustration was shared by the fans.

Lynne Jones, of Ospreys Supporters Club said she feels let down by the WRU and Y11.

“I’m emotional, angry and upset, it’s devastating,” she told BBC Wales Today.

“The silence from the WRU – it’s not on.”

Sarah Collins-Davies, chair of the Ospreys Supporters Club added: “It’s been an emotional week for the supporters, but I can’t imagine how difficult it has been for the players and coaches.

Ospreys supporter Annette Davies says she is fearful for the future with so many unanswered questions.

“There has to be clarity,” said Davies.

“We’re told there will be an Ospreys side next season – what does that mean? Are we ending next season? Are we even going to have the players to have a season, because we have a lot of players out of contract.

“Who’s going to want to sign for us? Knowing they might not be here at the end of that following season.”

The Ospreys have produced Wales and British and Irish Lions internationals like Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Biggar, Adam Jones, Shane Williams and Justin Tipuric and attracted star names like Justin Marshall, Tommy Bowe, Jerry Collins, Marty Holah and Ryan Jones.

They are the most successful Welsh team in terms of silverware since the inception of regional rugby in 2003, although their last trophy was in 2012.

An illustrious past. But what an uncertain future looks like, remains to be seen.
