  "textContent": "\n\n\nJesy Nelson has issued an urgent plea for assistance this morning after her car was stolen from outside her home in Brentwood, Essex.\n\nThe 34-year-old former Little Mix star, who found fame on The X Factor in 2011, revealed thieves took her black Land Rover Defender from her driveway at approximately 3am this morning.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe star posted about the theft on her Instagram story, offering a substantial £10,000 reward for information leading to the car's recovery.\n\nThe singer stated the money would go \"to whoever helps recover it\", as she desperately seeks the return of her vehicle.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe stolen vehicle bears the registration plate JJ73SSY and was most recently spotted in Chelmsford, according to updates Ms Nelson shared on social media.\n\nIn her Instagram appeal, the singer urged anyone with information to either send her a direct message or report details to the police.\n\n\"My car got stolen off my driveway in the early hours of this morning, if anyone sees a black Defender reg plate JJ73SSY,\" she wrote.\n\n\"Please, if any of you have seen or know of any information can you DM me or contact the police.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nEssex Police confirmed it was unable to provide comment on the suspected theft.\n\nThe theft is particularly distressing for Nelson because the Land Rover contains vital medical equipment used to care for her twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.\n\n\"I have so much of my girls' hospital equipment in that car that's really needed,\" she explained in her appeal.\n\nBoth children have been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy - a rare genetic condition that leads to progressive deterioration of muscle strength.\n\n### LATEST CELEBRITY NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * WATCH: Julian Lloyd Webber opens up on brother Andrew's past battle with alcoholism\n  * James Bond is back... and YOU can play as him in new 007 game set to be released next month\n  * Downton Abbey star dies aged 77 after battle with dementia\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe illness means the twins are unlikely to ever walk or develop the ability to hold their heads up independently, making the specialised equipment essential for their ongoing treatment and daily care.\n\nMs Nelson's daughters' diagnoses prompted her to become a vocal advocate for earlier detection of the condition.\n\nShe launched a petition calling for SMA to be included in the newborn blood spot screening test, commonly known as the heel-prick test, which checks infants for serious health conditions.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe campaign gathered more than 100,000 signatures, a milestone that moved the singer to tears.\n\nIn January, Ms Nelson met with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to discuss how earlier diagnosis could have transformed outcomes for her twins.\n\nShe subsequently became a patron of SMA UK in February, and expressed pride this month when the government announced screenings would begin in October 2026, three months ahead of schedule.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
