Headline: Jesy Nelson told twin babies unlikely to walk

Caption: The former Little Mix singer posted an emotional video to Instagram on Sunday, vowing that the girls will "fight all the odds" after a diagnosis of a rare genetic condition dubbed spinal muscular atrophy (SMA1). SMA1 causes muscle weakness, progressive loss of movement and paralysis. "We were told that they're probably never going to be able to walk; they probably will never regain their neck strength, so they will be disabled, and so the best thing we can do right now is to get them treatment, and then just hope for the best,"
