Jesy Nelson is to take an “extended” break from the pop group for “private medical reasons”, their publicist has said.
A statement didn’t give any further details about the 29-year-old’s condition.
It comes after Nelson recently missed the final of the girl group’s BBC One talent show, and their hosting of the MTV European Music Awards.
Little Mix’s latest album entered the UK chart at number two on Friday.
In a statement, the group’s publicist said: “Jesy is having extended time off from Little Mix for private medical reasons.
“We will not be issuing any further comment currently and ask media to please respect her privacy at this time.”
Nelson’s bandmates Leigh-Anne, Perrie and Jade were seen without her on the final of Little Mix: The Search on 7 November, and on the MTV EMAs the following night.

I am honoured to work with a brand that understands and encourages everything that I stand for! I cannot wait for you to see what we’ve been working on!”
Jade is launched her first-ever fashion collection with Skinnydip! A lil mix of her signature style and the brand’s equally playful vibe, this ridiculously fun collab is everything! This new collab, she’s practically handing us her go-to vibe on a plate – think oversized ’fits, logo-loaded styles and cute vest tops.
With each piece in the collab, you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion/mood.
Leigh-Anne is launching her own bikini line, In‘A’Seashell with one of her closest gal pals, Gabrielle Urquhart, which serves up swimwear that promotes self-love and heavy helpings of body confidence.
“It all started as a conversation in Miami with one of my closest friends, Gabby, and she told me she wanted to do a bikini line and her boyfriend had bought her a sewing machine. I said, ‘seriously? Because that is exactly what I want to do!’”

Leigh-Anne has handpicked an amazing new Style Edit of her favourite ASOS Design styles including glam styles and low-key styles for off duty days. The collection is packed full of trend-led pieces from the latest ASOS DESIGN drops.
“What I love is there’s a mixture of going-out dresses and outfits, but with casual stuff added in, as well. I feel like it has a bit of a 90s theme running through it, too, and I love that kind of fashion. I love all the looks.”
