She had massive success in 2006 with the release of her chart-topping album Loose which sold more than 12million copies worldwide and spawned four massive hit singles including Promiscuous, Maneater, Say It Right and All Good Things (Come to an End).

Nelly married sound engineer Demacio Castellon in 2008.
But she revealed on Loose Women in 2017 that the pair had split up after nine years together.
The mum-of-one then stepped away from the limelight after struggling with the pressures of touring.
Nelly explained: “At the height of my career, it was super exciting – but I took too much on. A mother on the road trying to maintain a relationship; I cried on stage.”

She told the Loose Women panel: “I need to stay emotionally and physically well for my daughter.”
The hit-maker has taken a few years off since the release of her last album The Spirit Indestructible and moved away from music entirely to focus on her home life.
