JESY Nelson’s boyfriend Chris Hughes joined Little Mix on stage as he filled in for poorly Jade Thirlwall.
The Love Island star, who was invited on tour with his girlfriend Jesy, made himself useful as he hopped on the stage alongside the chart-topping band to soundcheck for their LM5 tour at the SSE Arena in Belfast on Sunday afternoon.
Chris looked over the moon to be on stage with Little Mix.
He captioned the video: “Sound check ahead of tonight’s show. Stepping in for our Jade. Onto the next.”
He flew out to join Jesy, and ended up on stage with the rest of the band during rehearsals for their show that night.
He went on Instagram to share a picture alongside Jesy, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards as they flexed their vocal chords.
He then shared a picture alongside the girls suspended in the air in the arena.
He wrote alongside it: “Dreams do come true.”
In another shot he wrote: “Never felt so good being Jade Thirlwall.”
Fans were delighted when Jade did actually turn up and perform that night.
It’s little wonder Chris was there for Jesy.
He has been a tremendous support to her after she bravely opened up about her suicide bid at the hands of online bullies.
Chris – who has been dating the singer for 10 months – said: “One day it’ll click and she’ll look at herself and she’ll see that she is beautiful and she is unbelievable.
Jesy, 28, speaking for the first time about her suicide attempt to the Sun Online, said: “I just remember thinking, ‘I just need this to go away, I’m going to end this’.
“I remember going to the kitchen and just took as many tablets as I could. Then I laid in bed for ages and kept thinking, ‘Let it happen. Hurry up’.”
Jesy, recalling her ordeal in BBC1 documentary Odd One Out, said: “I just remember thinking this is never going to go.
“I’m going to constantly wake up and feel sad for the rest of my life. So what is the point in being here? I physically couldn’t tolerate the pain any more.”
