Jesy Nelson’s powerful documentary on trolling and cyberbullying which aired on BBC One on Thursday night has been praised by Little Mix fans, viewers and stars alike.

In the hour-long programme, Jesy, 28, opened up about the terrible trolling she suffered when Little Mix first soared to fame.

In Odd One Out, Jesy revealed how nasty and cruel comments about her looks and weight negatively affected her.

The singer bravely revealed that she used to starve herself days after cruel trolls labelled her “fat”, while she also attempted to take her own life during a deep depression.

One viewer wrote: “#JesyNelson has always been my favourite member of #LittleMix but now I respect her even more for speaking out. Bullying of any kind is never acceptable. Think before you speak/type #OddOneOut #JesyNelsonOddOneOut.”

Another said: “That poor girl #JesyNelson I'm in tears watching #OddOneOut words can hurt so much, I'm scared of what my girls may be faced with on social media in the future. I'll definitely be showing them this programme xo.”

A third said: “Sobbing at #JesyNelson Odd One Out. People can be so so cruel and I just don’t know why or how. It’s so important to be kind to everyone.”

And a fourth person wrote: “Me & my 7 year old crying with you. You should be so proud of yourself for how far you have come #OddOneOut #JesyNelson #beautifulinsideandout.”

It wasn’t just fans and viewers who praised Jesy as the documentary aired, with some famous faces also taking to social media to have their say.

McFly’s Harry Judd wrote: “#oddoneout Heartbreaking documentary but so important. Well done Jesy x.”

Sam Bailey wrote: “ @LittleMix well done jesy, and well done to all the girls for sharing this and sticking together! Shows how are unbreakable you are! Let’s just hope that this amazing documentary helps others x I’m sure it will x."

Gemma Collins retweeted Jesy’s boyfriend Chris Hughes’ comment which read: “My girlfriend is the best motha f**king role model on this planet.”

The TOWIE legend also wrote on her Twitter: “Everyone should boycott all stand together for these social media companies to ban people of not used in a positive way she’s beautiful and talented and thank god they didn’t get the better of her.”

Singer Tulisa – who formed Little Mix on The X Factor – wrote a heartfelt note to Jesy.

Sharing it on Twitter, the note read: “What a brave, beautiful, talented and loved girl you are.

And I’ve have very very dark times. Again, like I said on Instagram, We are in a privileged position.. you help one person… then it’s all worth it! Xxxxxxxx.”

Stacey Dooley wrote: “So admirable to put yourself out, so honestly like this. I’ve always been the BIGGEST @LittleMix fan, and always thought Jesy was amazing. Well done girl."

Jesy shared a picture with her mum on Instagram before the documentary aired as she wrote: “My Mum saw me at some of my lowest moments after winning X Factor.

"She was so nervous about me making my documentary #OddOneOut but she's seen me go on such a journey since filming it.

"She's a massive part of this film and I feel so incredibly lucky to have such an amazing mum. Watch it tonight at 9pm on @bbcone.”
