Jesy Nelson is opening up about her twin daughters’ diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

The genetic condition is characterised by weakness and wasting in the skeletal muscles, which causes severe problems with movement.

In a candid Instagram video, the singer said her mum previously noticed her daughters’ legs weren’t moving “as they should be”, but she hadn’t been too concerned as they were born prematurely and medical staff had mentioned they would develop at their own pace.
