Jesy Nelson puts on a leggy display in a retro 70s mini skirt as she shoots music video

Jesy Nelson rocked a 1970s-style retro look as she filmed scenes for her latest music video on Saturday.

The singer, 31, looked fabulous in the funky ensemble as she filmed at a South London working-class club.

She put on a leggy display in an orange patterned miniskirt paired with a matching knit crop top.

Jesy paired the look with a pair of chunky orange heels and white knee-high socks, wrapping herself in a beige trench coat as she stepped out of a minibus.

Her dark brown locks were worn in a voluminous hairstyle with a white headband and she opted for a bronzed makeup palette.

It comes after it was reported that Jesy will shoot a music video for her new single Bad Things, despite being between record labels.

The singer is said to be filming the project in a nostalgic location in London, and it will be inspired by her father John who is in and out of prison.

A source told The Sun: ‘Jesy loves being creative in her music videos and throws herself into channeling her mother and playing the part of someone who falls in love with a man who ends up in prison.

“It’s a very meaningful song to her and the lyrics are personal.”

MailOnline has reached out to Jesy’s representatives for comment.

Jesy previously blamed her father for her love of bad guys, telling The Sun, “When I was growing up, my father wasn’t around.

“My dad wasn’t the best, he was in and out of prison, so I haven’t had a lot of good male role models in my life, so maybe that’s where it comes from.”

“If I see someone who looks a little bit naughty, I’m instantly attracted to them and that’s not good. If someone has a gold tooth, I literally fall in love.’

In 1985, John was found guilty of murder and assault, according to the Daily Star, after a street fight that killed amateur boxer Paul Reidy.

The roofer was stabbed three times outside Lautrec’s discotheque in Dagenham and John was given a life sentence, but his conviction was overturned soon after on appeal. Instead, he served a shorter sentence for brawling.

And in 2016, John was arrested after a man was killed in a hit-and-run, but was released on bail.

He was detained after his Range Rover was involved in the fatal collision with a motorcycle in Gidea Park, Essex, on Friday, The Sun reported.

The then 51-year-old owner of the garden center, who is estranged from his pop star daughter, denied being behind the wheel at the time.

Motorcyclist Craig Voyce, 23, a father of three, was knocked from his vehicle and fatally injured. He later died in hospital.

According to police, the blue car did not stop outside a pub at 11pm after the accident. But the Range Rover was found in a nearby parking lot.

Mr. Nelson was later arrested near the crime scene. It was alleged that two other men were in the car with him at the time of the crash and he denied being behind the wheel.

It follows that Jesy is about to sign a major new deal with Warner Records before releasing her second solo single Cried Out this year.

The former Little Mix star is said to be in advanced talks with the label after parting ways with Polydor in July last year due to “creative differences.”

Jesy will self-release the new music, but the labels will closely monitor her and fans’ reaction to the song before offering a deal.

A source told The Sun: ‘It’s been a tumultuous few months for Jesy, but she’s working hard to come back with a bang. She has been meeting with labels, including Warner, about the possibility of signing a new deal.

Jesy will be releasing Cried Out as an independent artist and the labels will be closely monitoring the response to the song. After being so unhappy, Jesy really enjoys being independent.

“But she’s made it clear that if someone offers her the right deal, she’ll take it. She’s been in talks with Warner for a while, but it all depends on whether they can make a deal that works for both of them.’

The source further admitted that friends close to the singer think her future looks bright at Warner Records, but “nothing is set in stone.”

Jesy has been teasing her upcoming album for weeks, but the release date has yet to be announced.

It comes after she impressed her fans when she shared a video of her singing ahead of the release of her next single.

The star performed an incredible rendition of Daniel Caesar’s Best Party and said it had been “a while” since she posted a cover.

Several of Jesy’s followers praised her powerful vocals and co-singer Anastacia wrote, “Smooth sounds.”

Another fan wrote, “Your voice is the definition of pure magic,” while another added, “missed hearing these vocals.”

The video came after Jesy reportedly shot a new music video with her ex-boyfriend Harry James for her yet-to-be-released music.

Jesy was recently tipped to release her first single since debut track Boyz in 2021, after leaving her record label Polydor earlier this year.

And her on-off boyfriend Harry, who was the one to “mastermind” the controversial music video for Boyz, seems to be back on board for the second issue.

Harry started dating Jesy in 2017 and the pair were together for 16 months before calling it quits – but have worked together countless times since then.

Despite reports that the pair cut ties last year, it is believed he has been rehired to work on the new video.

According to The Sun, Jesy shot the video with Harry directing and her new song is called Cried Out.
