Little Mix star Jesy Nelson wasn't able to attend today's MTV European Music Awards due to an illness that is yet to be confirmed. News of her illness comes just after she also missed the final of their brand new show, Little Mix: The Search, which naturally left their fans pretty concerned. The show follows the girls on their quest to find the next hottest band and gives fans a glimpse into their friendship, life on the road and showcases just how much they've all grown since the days of The X Factor.

On Jesy's illness, a rep from the band revealed "Jesy is unwell and will not be appearing on tonight's final of Little Mix The Search. She will also not be hosting or performing at tomorrow's MTV EMAs." Watch an encore MTV European Music Awards at 9:30 p.m. on 10 Shake.
