Jessie J has shared the wonderful news that she is cancer free, 11 months after her initial diagnosis. The singer, 38, took to Instagram to make the joyful announcement.
Jessie had attended hospital for her annual check-up and admitted she "sobbed for hours" upon hearing the good news from her doctors. The video showed the star at hospital, where she was preparing to undergo an MRI scan.
She said in the clip: "So I'm back for my yearly check-up, I'm actually s*****g myself, I'm not gonna lie. They told me there was no contrast, but I think there is based on this,' as she pointed out the cannula in her arm."
She appealed for "positive vibes" as she candidly described the anxiety of undergoing an MRI. "I might have to have a bigger bucket this time, for this big old b*** but fingers crossed, all good, positive vibes, don't worry about a thing," she said.
In the caption, she wrote: "RESULTS ARE IN AND I AM CANCER FREE!! I sobbed for hours and then exhaled for the first time in a year."
Her uplifting news was greeted with an outpouring of congratulatory messages from both fans and celebrity friends alike. Among them was Loose Women's Andrea McLean, who wrote: "Ohhh this is WONDERFUL NEWS!!"
The artist, born Jessica Ellen Cornish, underwent surgery last June to remove one of her breasts following a diagnosis of "early" breast cancer. After months of recovery, she was recently compelled to postpone tour dates after revealing she would need a 'second surgery'. At the time, she opened up candidly about the impact the diagnosis had upon her. In a moving moment at the Music Industry Trust Awards, Jessie reflected: "All of us here are going through stuff in life that we have to carry to work and leave at home or take to work.
"This year has changed my whole world. My perspective, what battles I'm going to pick, when death comes knocking at your door, and you kind of have to answer and f****** kick it away, it just changes everything."
As the new year drew near, Jessie had acknowledged feeling at her "lowest" point for some time and had been "crying a lot". Despite typically sharing uplifting messages throughout her cancer battle, she posted a more sombre update as 2025 drew to a close.
Taking to Instagram at the time, the singer shared a photograph of herself appearing tearful. She wrote: "In all the highlight reels that are and are about to happen. This is an honest story post that will get blown up, I'm sure. But who cares.
"As truthfully in a world full of 'everything is fine, I'm happy, I'm good, life is perfect' there is greif [sic] hurt pain sadness heartbreak and reflection and processing happening this time of your for many of us, alongside the good and the great or on its own.
"This year has been heavy and hard in many ways for all of us, for me personally, one of the hardest but most magical years of my life. Personally and professionally." She added: "But all the sadness has come up this week, it's the first time I've stopped (working and being in public in months) So I'm crying a lot. Writing s*** down feeling really low tbh. The lowest I have felt in a while.
"An accumulation of stuff just making its way to the surface and I'm letting it out. Don't hold it in people. We are not superhuman or meant to be happy and positive all the time.
"It's healthy and normal to cry, and if someone you love is crying don't say 'oh don't cry' say 'come here'. Sending love to anyone feeling this way too right now. No positive end to this. Just I'm with ya. It's s*** sometimes."
