A major pop star has pulled Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls’ new Netflix show, Bear Hunt.
Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson, 32, will not appear in the upcoming series, according to a new report.
A source said Sun: ‘Jesy had meetings with the producers who were casting for the show, but in the end they couldn’t reach an agreement, so Jesy will not be in the final line-up.
“It will be a real blow for Little Mix fans who were excited to see her back in front of the public, and it would have been a great overall gig for Jesy, but bosses met with a lot of big celebrity names and not all of them end up in the confirmed mix.’
The television source announced that the next program “will be a great success” and that the streaming giant is “investing a lot of money in it” with the intention of already planning a second series.

The Bad Thing hitmaker is currently enjoying a romance with handsome singer Zion Foster, and in February she enjoyed a trip to Australia with him.
In a series of sun-kissed shots, she showed off her toned abs while rocking a busty hot pink bikini.
Jesy has been enjoying a break from her music career to travel the world with her loved one and declared that she will only return to work “whenever she wants” after a fan asked her if she would never work again.
In the snaps, the couple visited the Australia Zoo before enjoying pizza in their open-top car next to the beach.
She captioned the post: “No one will ever understand my love for seals” as she shared a video seeing them at the zoo.
A follower asked Jesy: ‘girl, are you never going to work again?’ To which Jesy responded: ‘When I decide, I want yes.’
A source told The Sun: “Jesy had meetings with the producers who were casting for the show but in the end they couldn’t reach an agreement, so Jesy will not be in the final line-up.”
The show will be presented by This Morning alum Holly Willoughby.
The action-packed new show will see wild expert Bear Grylls as a group of “unlikely British celebrities” take on the fears of the jungle in Costa Rica.
The Bad Thing hitmaker has recently been traveling the world with her boyfriend Zion.
Last July, Jesy announced that she would be taking a long break from show business.
Jesy wrote: ‘Hi guys! That’s why I really wanted to travel for a long time, but I never had the time to do it.
“I have some really exciting things coming up with work and my music, but until then I’m taking the summer off to travel the world,” she wrote, adding a heart-eyes emoji.
Bear Hunt will be presented by Holly Willoughby and will see former SAS soldier Bear Grylls chasing down famous contestants; When she finds them, they will be removed from the program.
Last week, filming took place in a dangerous area that had been caught up in drug wars.
Netflix is reportedly spending £1 million to hire former special forces to protect the cast and crew.
Stars including Spice Girl Mel B, rugby legend Danny Cipriani, The Saturdays singer Una Healy, 42, and tennis icon Boris Becker, 56, will be guarded by ex-military personnel.
