Jessie J announces breast cancer diagnosis in emotional video
LONDON, June 4: British pop star Jessie J has revealed that she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. In an emotional video shared with her fans on social media Tuesday, the 37-year-old singer described the diagnosis as a 'shock,' but assured followers that it was detected early. 'Cancer sucks in any form,' Jessie said. 'But I'm holding onto the word early.' The diagnosis came just before the April 25 release of her comeback single, No Secrets, marking her return to music after a four-year hiatus. Jessie, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, said she would undergo surgery following her performance at Capital FM's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 15. In her video, Jessie admitted she wrestled with whether to share the news publicly but ultimately decided to be open with her fans. 'I want to share it. I've always shared everything that I go through in my life,' she said. 'Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.' She added with characteristic humor, 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.' Jessie confirmed that she plans to "disappear for a bit" after her June concert to undergo surgery. "I will come back with massive ts and more music," she joked, before clarifying, 'No, I'm not getting massive ts. Or am I? No, no… I must stop joking.' Keeping the mood light in the post's caption, she quipped: 'No (more) Secrets — and is it too soon to do a remix called Living My Breast Life?' She explained that humor has always been a coping mechanism during difficult times. 'All jokes aside… This last two months have been so amazing, and having this go on alongside it has given me the most incredible perspective,' she wrote. 'BUT... your girl needs a hug.' Later, in an Instagram Story, she reflected, 'Just shared something super personal I've been holding onto for 9 weeks. The timing has been mad but beautiful... But honestly, I need to process it. I need a hug.' Following her announcement, Jessie received an outpouring of support from fellow artists and fans. Pop star Rita Ora commented, 'You're literally my favourite person and I'm praying for you. My mother had it, and I know surgery and any treatment is mentally tough — I'm here for you.' Paloma Faith added, 'Sending so much love. I have every confidence you will beat this.' Singer Marvin Humes wrote, 'Ain't no one stronger than you… you've got this,' while his wife, Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes, added, 'We love you so much.' Amy Dowden, Strictly Come Dancing star and breast cancer survivor, wrote: 'Sending so much love and strength.' Jessie's diagnosis adds to a long list of personal challenges she has overcome. She suffered a miscarriage in 2021 — the emotional experience forming the inspiration behind No Secrets. Two years later, she welcomed her son, Sky, with basketball player Chanan Colman. She recently shared a sweet moment about motherhood: 'Whenever Sky hears me singing, he looks at everyone in the room and says, 'Mummy's singing.' He finishes the songs I sang to him when he was a baby.' Jessie has also battled multiple health issues since childhood. Diagnosed with heart disease at nine, she suffered a stroke at 17 just after graduating from the BRIT School and signing her first record deal. In 2021, she revealed she went temporarily deaf, a condition that delayed a previous album. At an April appearance during Advertising Week Europe in London, she said: 'My health has always kept me balanced. All these things have felt like they were keeping my feet on the ground.' Despite these hardships, Jessie maintains a forward-looking spirit. 'Living in fear doesn't stop the thing you're scared of from happening,' she said. 'I may as well live in the moment while [my son] is not hurting himself, instead of being scared that he is.' Jessie continues to promote No Secrets, the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album, even as she prepares for surgery. 'To get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets, right before Living My Best Life — which was all pre-planned — I mean, you can't make it up,' she said with a smile. True to form, Jessie is facing her diagnosis with humor, honesty, and unflinching openness — a combination that has defined her career and connected her with fans around the world.

JADE at Mighty Hoopla review: Already the stuff of main pop girl legend
'It's no Saturdays megamix…' quipped Jade Thirlwall onstage at London's Mighty Hoopla yesterday, after an energetic, top-tier Little Mix medley that sent Brockwell Park into meltdown. A stand-up comic couldn't have scripted a better, more perfectly contextualised joke: no shade to the Saturdays, whose back catalogue is near-unsurpassed in quality; it's just the world-conquering, 10-year-spanning oeuvre of Little Mix is simply unparalleled. In less capable hands, this whistle-stop store of the band's best moments – 'Sweet Melody', 'Touch', 'Shout Out To My Ex'; she earlier performers fan favourite 'Wasabi' in its entirety – all reworked so as to sound fresher, but with the lightest of touches so as not to taint their essence, might have overshadowed the rest of the set. A plausible Little Mix reunion certainly would have done. Jade, however, is a straight A student of pop, and intentional in everything she does. Her cowgirl outfit was a nod to the Supremes' Diana Ross, for heaven's sake. Thus, this was a statement of solo star power, and possibly the most exciting moment Hoopla has ever seen. Exhaustive choreo, grand, futuristic production and Adele-level charisma between songs – we could listen to Jade say 'Houplah!' in Geordie twang all day long – this was a big, big swing, and in the end, more than the sum of its parts. It's hard to believe the nine-song set was so short, and that we were in a park in south London. It felt like we were in an arena with the roof blown off. You could almost sense the collective support of girl band members gone solo before her – Destiny's Child, the Spice Girls, the Sugababes – propelling her forward. Although, unlike many of these women, Jade is going decidedly against the grain, and what she has to offer is all the more compelling for it. 'If I don't win, I'm in the bin, you say you never knew me, but when I pop off you sue me,' she sang on chaotic first single 'Angel of My Dreams', with an arch self-awareness suggesting that, actually, if she measures success on her own terms, she can't lose. And so, like that one daring member of many a girl band, she's charting a course that's miles left of centre. This zany, unpredictable set – club-ready visuals Charli XCX would approve of; dancers in tutus regardless of gender; walls of electronic sound flipping to a cappella moments – reflected that choice. For all the bells and whistles, however, it's the technical prowess of Jade's voice – think Disney Princess gone rogue – that impresses most. She flaunts full-throated volume on 'FUFN' but sends an eerie hush across the 60,000-strong crowd with her operatic control on a soaring cover of Madonna's 'Frozen'. (Who else would dare?!) As for that complicated Sandie Shaw 'Puppet on a String' vocal run on 'Angel of My Dreams' – it's even better live. (Again, who else would dare?!) She played one unreleased song, 'Plastic Box', but we were whipped into too much of a frenzy to make mental notes about it, except to say it slams. We really couldn't be more excited for Jade's upcoming album That's Showbiz Baby, for her music has an essentially queer sensibility: rather than trying to appeal to everyone, it appeals to a minority. A cool, intelligent, edgy, kind, ascended minority, if we do say so ourselves. And while the LGBTQ community is not solely that minority, we definitely make up a large swathe of it. We embrace her, she embraces us, and so last night the love-in brought Jade to tears. The energy was off the scale. Her allyship remains unmatched: nothing could have prepared us for the moment when, while leading a chant to introduce the F-bomb-tastic 'FUFN', she called out JK Rowling. It was a rock star moment that made the hair on the back of the arms stand on end. The backbone and the grit of this woman, when so many of us are running scared and feeling the walls closing in on us, when so many of our allies are losing their nerve, is breathtaking. It's superhero stuff in the vein of Judy Garland in the 70s and Madonna in the 80s and 90s, and won't be forgotten. The post JADE at Mighty Hoopla review: Already the stuff of main pop girl legend appeared first on Attitude.

This Morning host says ITV has changed long-standing clothing rule after decades
This Morning host Rochelle Humes has shared her happiness after ITV bosses made a long-standing rule change. Former Saturdays singer Humes is one of the daytime series' rotating list of presenters alongside Ben Shephard, Cat Deeley, Dermot O'Leary, Alison Hammond, Sian Welby and Craig Doyle. Humes has revealed that all the hosts have been following a dress code that has been closely monitored since her first appearance alongside her husband, the JLS star Marvin Humes, in August 2013. It turns out that bosses have always instructed This Morning hosts to opt for smartwear, meaning jeans is an item of clothing that has been off the table – however, all that's changed, with denim trousers now permitted. Humes, 35, wasted no time in utilising the rule change, opting for a pair of River Island jean in Wednesday's episode (28 May). She announced the news on TikTok, stating: 'There's a new rule. We didn't used to be allowed to wear jeans, did we? But we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news for me.' The Independent has contacted ITV for comment. Humes' revelation arrives amid a huge shakeup for the channel's morning schedule. Last week, it was revealed that ITV is shortening Lorraine Kelly's hour-long show Lorraine by half and will reallocate those 30 minutes to Good Morning Britain instead, as part of a cost-cutting drive. This Morning will be unaffected by the scheduling changes, remaining in its usual time slot of 10am to 12.30pm. A source close to ITV told MailOnline: 'We were very open about the challenges in the industry and so several options were discussed – the key was ensuring Lorraine was retained and was as comfortable as possible in a changing landscape. 'Her show is still hugely valued – the show recently had its highest audience share in four years and still reaches 2.7 million people.' Earlier this month, part-time This Morning host Sian Welby admitted she was scared she would lose her stint if she told them she was pregnant before she started. The mother of one, 38, welcomed her nine-month-old daughter Ruby with her fiancé, Heart Breakfast producer Jake Beckett, last June. Welby was 20 weeks pregnant when she started co-hosting This Morning alongside O'Leary and kept her pregnancy a secret because she felt she had 'something to prove'. Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Welby said: 'When you first start a job, you think 'Nobody knows what I'm actually like, that I'm trustworthy' and you have to prove yourself. 'I felt like I had proven myself, that I can do this and that. When I got that first This Morning cover with Dermot, I knew I was pregnant but I didn't tell anyone.' She said: 'In the back of my mind, I was thinking 'If I tell them I'm pregnant, will this put them off getting me in again?' And will they think 'Oh she's gonna be off for ages?''
