Jesy Nelson fuels split rumours as she's pictured on Little Mix night out without engagement ring

Jesy Nelson has fuelled rumours that she has split from her fiancé Jake Roche after she was pictured without her engagement ring.

Nelson, 25, was missing the item as she enjoyed a night out with her Little Mix band mates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock at a restaurant.

Thirlwall shared a picture of the girls holding pre-dinner cocktails as Nelson cut a noticeably sombre pose.

Fans were quick to notice the missing ring with one writing: "Are jake and jessie still together?"

Another commented: "No ring on left finger? Jesy?????"

A third concerned fan asked: "WHERE IS JESY'S ENGAGEMENT RING?"

Rumours of a break-up first surfaced this week when it was reported that the celebrity pair were embroiled in a huge row which led to Nelson unfollowing Roche on Instagram.

A source told The Sun: "Jesy and Jake had a huge barney – it wasn't pretty.

"They're not a couple who avoid rows easily but this was different and could signal the end of their relationship.

"Neither is giving much away as to what caused the fallout but clearly harsh words were said."

Neither party has addressed the reports.

Roche proposed to Nelson on stage at an Ed Sheeran gig in July 2015.

If they split, Roche may need to prepare himself for a Little Mix diss track.

The four piece - who found fame on The X Factor - appear to blast Edwards' ex Zayn Malik on their new single, Shout Out To My Ex.

On lyric reads: “This is a shout out to my ex/Heard he in love with some other chick/Yeah yeah, that hurt me, I’ll admit/Forget that boy, I’m over it.”

Another appears to allude to the tattoo Malik has of Edwards on his arm: "Guess I should say thank you, For the 'hate yous' and the tattoos, Oh baby I'm cool by the way, Ain't sure I loved you anyway."
