Jesy Nelson steps out at the pet shop with her new pup Reggie and the dog's dad Harry James

Loved-up Jesy and Harry, both 26, beamed as they hauled their new gear, and fluffy canine baby, across the car park.

But Essex native Jesy was happy to let musician Harry load most of their trolley of goodies into the boot while she clutched her pup in her arms.

Harry was snapped lifting a huge dog crate into the boot, while Jesy chatted to strangers who were cooing over the mutt - who has been named Reggie.

Adorably she headed out for the pet shop trip with tiny Reggie sitting in her rucksack, an image she couldn't resist sharing with her Instagram followers.

She also posted a video of the pup on Instagram, and captioned it: "Meet our new baby Reggie."

Holding the little tyke in one hand, cheeky Jesy waved his paw at the camera and put on a silly voice.

Before long fans were flinging appreciative comments at the posts, and telling her she would be the "best mum ever".

This is a big step for Jesy and Harry, who got together a few months after her heart was cruelly broken by Towie star Chris Clark.

Jesy and Harry's romance first came out when she was seen holding hands and taking loved-up snaps with him in Mykonos in July.

They got off to a rocky start after one of Harry's exes claimed he was prone to cheating, but they were soon stealing the limelight together via OTT PDAs.

Now it seems Jesy - who stars in a brand new Little Mix documentary, out today - has decided her man is trustworthy enough to help her care for a dog.

Their trip to Pets At Home in Essex came during a rare break from touring for Jesy, who recently posed for a backstage pyjama snap with bandmate Jade Thirlwall.
