Jaymi Hensley still not sure if Union J bandmates are happy about his shock exit but insists: ‘It wasn’t healthy anymore’

The Metro says Jaymi Hensley has spoken out following his departure from Union J in a tell-all interview.

The pop star, 33, was part of the band from the beginning alongside JJ Hamblett, George Shelley, and Josh Cuthbert, having shot to fame on The X Factor in 2011 before officially disbanding in 2019.

Union J were due to reunite this year, but the plug was quietly pulled on tour plans, leaving fans both disappointed and confused, with Jaymi releasing a statement shortly after to confirm he would be leaving the group.

At the time, he said on social media that, despite having the best time in the band, he had to prioritise his ‘integrity’ as an artist and didn’t want to watch Union J’s legacy ‘decay’ any further.
