FANCY-free Little Mix star Jesy Nelson aims to try out the transatlan­tic talent on Valentine’s Day.

The unattached singer has her sights set on flirting with a fit American guy on the most romantic day of the year.

Jesy is well placed because she and the girls will be in Nashville supporting Ariana Grande on her Dangerous Woman tour.

But if she draws a blank there will plenty more chances – Little Mix have another 30 US gigs.

The slimmed- down and impressive­ly toned singer endured a “horrendous” split from Rixton’s frontman Jake Roche, 24, in November.

Jesy, 25, said: “I’m free, single and loving life. I’d really like to experience flirting with an American guy. That would be nice.” She said breaking up with Jake, son of actor Shane Richie and Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan, was “one of the worst pains” but insisted they are still pals. She said: “I’ve found a l ot of independen­ce. I think you learn a lot more about yourself when you’re single.” Bandmate Jade Thirlwall, 24, reckons dating will be easier for Jesy in America. She said: “You’re in different states, so if it doesn’t go your way, you’re like, ‘Oh well, I’ll never see you again.’” Jesy, told a radio station, she loved first dates and is looking for a “weird, fun, sassy and spontaneo spontaneou­s” man. She added added: “I do love a tat and someone w who looks naughty – preferably a boxer. I’m really fussy.” Her ba bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock Pinnock, 25, is hoping the tour will be s spiced up by a visit from her football star boyfriend, Bu Burnley’s Andre Gray.
