It was a night of emotions for Jesy, who broke down on stage while receiving her NTA.
She won for her BBC documentary, Odd One Out, where she spoke movingly about the horrific trolling she received after winning The X Factor with the girl band.
Taking to the stage at London’s O2 Arena, Jesy struggled to speak as she cried.
She said tearfully: “I’m so sorry, this is so overwhelming, I’m such a baby. Thank you so much.
“I want to start by thanking the BBC for being the most incredible team to work with,my dear friend Adam for being the most incredible director.”
As she wiped her tears away, Jesy continued: “I want to thank every single person in the documentary for being so brave and courageous for sharing their story with the world.”
She then went on to thank her mum, who appeared in the documentary, and boyfriend Chris Hughes for “making me feel confident every day”.
