Jesy Nelson is ‘mortified’ after being pictured drunkenly flirting with Lucien Laviscount – an ex of her former Little Mix band-mate Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Pals close to Jesy told MailOnline the singer, 30, is ’embarrassed’ by the photographs and insists she’s ‘single’ – despite being spotted with on-off boyfriend Harry James last month.
Emily In Paris actor Lucien, 29, dated Leigh-Anne, 30, in 2012 before she settled down with husband Andre Gray, also 30, and welcomed twins this year.

A source said: ‘Jesy and Lucien met up on a night out after two friendship groups came together and took a rickshaw to the club but left separately.
‘She was letting her hair down on a Saturday night and is embarrassed her flirtation with Lucien has come to light – but there is nothing more between them.
‘Her relationship with Harry only ended again recently, they remain good friends and continue to work together but he’s now with a new partner. Jesy insists herself and Lucien didn’t kiss even though they looked close in the pictures.’
MailOnline has contacted Jesy and Lucien’s representatives for comment.

The couple got together in 2017, splitting after 16 months but rekindled their romance in September.
