"I'm all for kids being kids for as long as possible."

In a recent documentary which follows her journey into motherhood, the singer claims social media was the main reason for the "downfall" of her mental health.

Now a mother of twin girls, Jesy says she's all for social media platforms being banned for under-16s in the UK.

"I'm all for kids being kids for as long as possible," she tells BBC Newsbeat.

"But I also understand that there's obviously a point when, if your child is the one that doesn't have social media or doesn't have the latest thing, are they then going to get bullied?"

Just last month, the government launched a consultation on the issue as part of measures aimed at protecting children's well-being.

Jesy went on to say that when she thinks of her eight-month-old girls, Ocean and Story, she wants to be "open and honest and protective" of them, and hopes they will feel the same.

The Prime Video documentary Life After Little Mix gives an insight into Jesy's pregnancy journey, including the emotional moment when she first learn her little girls have Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome.

It's a rare and potentially life-threatening condition when twins share one placenta.

The singer welcomed her twin daughters, Ocean and Story, back in May, though the girls arrived a little earlier than expected.

On January 4, Jesy took to her Instagram to announce that her baby girls have been diagnosed with SMA Type 1 or Werdnig-Hoffman illness, the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy.

This disabling condition is lifelong and causes severe muscle weakness as well as severe breathing and swallowing issues.

Left untreated, the condition can be fatal.

Jesy says she decided to allow cameras into her life at this time so she could document "all these amazing memories" while pregnant and later show them to her children.

"Obviously, it just did not play out in any way, shape or form in which I thought it was going to," she says.

"But my reasons for making it before are now so different to what they are now."

Jesy, however, says she feels "so grateful" the cameras were there, and her new goal is to "raise as much awareness as possible" about the muscle condition.

Additionally, she wants to show her daughters "how resilient and strong and amazing" they are, she says, per the BBC.
