Little Mix star Jesy Nelson moves on from Towie’s Chris Clark with singer Harry James
The new couple enjoyed a romantic holiday together in Mykonos last month
JESY Nelson is dating singer Harry James – her first romance following her split from Towie’s Chris Clark.
The Little Mix star enjoyed a romantic holiday with her new man in Mykonos last month where they were seen holding hands and taking loved-up pictures together.
Her last romance ended in tears after Chris abruptly broke up with her by text before rekindling his romance with Amber Dowding.
Jesy’s friends feared the reality star may have used her fame to boost his profile after his reunion with Amber was played out on reality show Towie.
A source said: “Jesy looked very happy with Harry – they were completely smitten with each other, giggling and taking photos as they tried on different sunglasses.
“They have a lot in common with Harry also in the music industry – he’s definitely Jesy’s type.
“She used her most recent break from the band to holiday with Harry.
“It’s early days but there’s definitely a real spark between them.”
Jesy and Harry holidayed at the beginning of June in Mykonos and were seen in sunglass shop Kopajos.
While she was away with Harry, bandmate Jade Thirlwell spent her time off with boyfriend Jed Elliott and Perrie Edwards was abroad with her other half, Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as was Leigh-Anne Pinnock who enjoyed some down time with Burnley ace Andre Grey.
Chris hit back at his critics after The Sun's Bizarre column revealed he had dumped Jesy over the phone before hooking up with ex-girlfriend Amber.
He said: "Our relationship came at a difficult time, though, because the band were touring America, so we mostly spoke on the phone.
"She was only in my life for about three months. I didn't understand why she was interested in me – I'm just someone from Towie.
"I felt like second best to Jesy. But that was my issue, not hers. Jesy and I ended on good terms, I didn't use her."

But Jesy’s new romance will have put a smile back on her face as Harry is very much her type.
Her engagement to Rixton frontman Jake Roche came to an end last November after the pair dated for over a year.
Jesy admitted the breakdown of her relationship was difficult, calling the entire experience “horrendous.”
She said: “When you break up with someone, it’s awful. Is it not one of the worst pains?
"It’s horrendous and we all need a sad song that you sit and cry to.”
