The 'Desperate Housewives' actor - who was dumped by the Girls Aloud beauty in April, following claims he cheated on her - was determined to win her back so booked her a flight to join him in Mumbai, India, where he is enjoying a luxury holiday.
However, Jesse was unaware she didn't have a valid visa and was left deflated when Nadine was turned away by staff at London's Heathrow airport.
A source said: "She was in floods of tears - she was desperate to join Jesse and spend some quality time with him. It was such a romantic gesture, she'd told all her pals and was clearly very excited."
She begged staff to make an exception but they told her they couldn't break the rules.
The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "She cried her heart out before phoning Jesse and telling him she couldn't come. He told her not to worry and he would see her soon."
The couple were rumoured to have got back together in August after they were seen enjoying a passionate embrace in Los Angeles.
However, Nadine - who has been splitting her time between the UK and Los Angeles - denied claims she was back with Jesse.
The 22-year-old pop beauty said: "Jesse and I aren't back together. I hadn't seen him in ages when those pictures of us were taken.
"Jesse and I arranged to meet up for lunch. Those pictures of us kissing were just me saying goodbye.
"We're exes so we're still close and we were just being sweet. But we are not back together."
Nadine has always insisted Jesse - who completed a stint in rehab for alcoholism - didn't cheat on her during their relationship despite him being photographed with a variety of women.
