Jessie J has discussed her experiences with breast cancer and what lessons the illness have taught her about life.

The Price Tag singer and mum-of-one, 37, had surgery in the summer and is waiting for a second round. The star also revealed her delight at meeting the Princess of Wales, who was treated for cancer last year, at the Royal Variety Performance. Speaking about her time with Kate, 43, last week she said: “I hugged the princess!”

While Jessie waits for a second operation later this year, she has delayed her No Secrets UK and European tour until 2026. She remarked about her diagnosis, “I’m just grateful for the lessons and, honestly, grateful for the connectivity that has given me with so many cancer patients.”

“I wouldn’t have had the lovely conversations I have had. Additionally, I’ve grown up better as a parent and a better person. I’ve never given a damn about the little things. She continued, “Some things that used to stress me out no longer do because you just need to sit the f*** down when life turns into something you feel like you can’t control.”

Jessie found a lump in her breast in March and had a mastectomy. She said: “I had my surgery and took very little time off.” Describing it as a “weird time”, she said: “When I had cancer and nobody knew… I wanted to make all these jokes. Now I have one post-baby boob and one orange under a bedsheet.

It’s still funny, but it’s not. However, it’s also quite funny. But I’m actually appreciative that I made it through. And I almost have to turn around, and I still have a little work to do. However, we all will experience or have experienced a very difficult situation that we feel we must carry on our own.

In honor of her late friend Dave, who was her security guard, Jessie sang her song I’ll Never Know Why from her sixth album for the Royal Variety Performance. She said, “I sang it because I knew it would be a shock to those who are lying on their sofas at home and feeling disgusted. I wanted to let them know that I see them.”

Kate and the actress have previously spoken about working together on suicide prevention. Jessica shared other health issues, including a miscarriage in 2021 and a car accident in 2020 that damaged her larynx and voice.

She cheekedly, describing the Royal Variety Performance as being “like a school assembly with a big budget” and claiming that “everyone is on the stage at the end, like “Oh, it’s a cast of Les Mis and me and like Stephen Fry.”

“And then we go in to meet the royals, which is amazing.” Speaking about her son Sky, two – her boy with basketball pro Chanan Colman – she said: “He’s the joy of my whole entire world. It’s like Christmas morn-ing every time I wake up and I hear him.”

Describing herself as a very hands-on parent, she said at the launch of her new album, Don’t Tease Me With a Good Time, which is out on Friday: “I’m a very Aries, fire-signy, micromanaging mum. A micro-mum.”

He appears to be eager to repeat the experience she shared with her at Radio 2 in the Park in Chelmsford, Essex, in September. He’s so funny, Jessie said. Can I come to work, he asks? Because he wants to come, I can’t tell him I’m going to work.

Kemi Rodgers has revealed that she had been dating her new boyfriend, Thomas Hannett, for nearly a year before she confirmed their relationship in public. The TV star, 30, hard launched the news that she and her Capital FM producer were together in September when she posted snaps of their romantic trip to Paris onto social media, but has now admitted that they were actually together this time last year.

The radio presenter and former Mirror journalist, who is currently heading up the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! spin-off show Unpacked alongside Joel Dommett in Australia, was asked how she feels about being temporarily long-distance and revealed that this is actually the second time they have had to do it.

She told The Mirror: “We’re gonna have a little bit of a holiday at the end of the show, which I’m so excited to see him. But the thing is, is we were actually together last year when I did the show. And of course, he didn’t come out for the entire run. Yeah, it’s long distance, but it’s only long distance for like a month.

People who have partners who work or reside in various parts of the country for months at once say, “There are people.” I can’t claim to have suffered at all because, well, my heart goes out to them. So yeah, there have been many FaceTimes, messages, and messages, and then, yes, we are very excited to be reunited with him and our little girl.

The traditional English build-up to Christmas, however, is something Kemi misses while she is away in Australia. I miss the holiday spirit, she said. I actually stuffed a mince pie in my gob before I was picked up by the airport because there isn’t any Christmas spirit here, so I ate it right away. Everything sounds like it’s sunny, and I can’t hear any Christmas music.

“I don’t see any Christmas trees,” I said. I believe that the British do a great job of running up to Christmas, like drinking red wine with your friends and enjoying mulled wine at a Christmas market, and that is something that colder nations would do as well.

“There’s like none of the Christmas leader, which I would argue is probably more fun than actual Christmas day. So it’s so weird because when I come back, it’ll be a few days before Christmas and then you’ll suddenly be plunged into darkness, plunged into cold, see Christmas lights everywhere. So Christmas kind of comes and goes very quickly, like… I don’t know, you don’t have all the Christmas parties, and going out Christmas shopping, and looking at the lights.

“Listen, this is not, at all, woe is me,” However, I just want to say that it just has a different vibe. So it’s quite nice to be essentially a parachute landing, or slap bang into Christmas. But I guess I’ll miss the mince pies, yes. Over here, I’ll make an effort to find some. I’ll check if they’re around.

After Kemi and her boyfriend, Thomas Hannett, were enjoying the weather in Paris, Kemi posted a short video to her Instagram account.

They used the famous TikTok audio featuring a person’s voice saying: “Are you happy to be in Paris?”, which Thomas lip-synced before Kemi, 30, said: “Oui.” In the caption, she wrote: “Wine drunk in Paris and thought the best way to hard launch my boyfriend on the grid was with the iconic Nicki Minaj ‘Oui’ video loooooool.

She continued, “My heart is truly in the sun when I pour a bottle of sangrre.” “Friends and fans congratulated the pair in the comments section after the launch. The hard launch we’ve all been waiting for was said by one pal, “and finally.”

While one fan commented: “City of Love,” Sonny Jay wrote: “Très bien, ” I notice what you did there.

The infamous ’90s girl group are rumored to be organizing a 30th anniversary reunion for the group next year. Mel B, 48, and Melanie C, 51, have recently spoken out about the speculation, and last month, Lady Victoria Beckham, 51, also shared her thoughts on a potential return to the stage.

Many people anticipate their return to the stage, and Phoenix acknowledges that she is “singing along in the front row.” The Spice Girls’ reunion, according to the 26-year-old DJ, would be a great success.

Phoenix told The Sun, “Everyone always asks me, and I’m the last to know, but I’ll obviously be in the front row singing every song. So I’ll be prepared for it when they implement it. It will be “mega”.

Since missing their 2019 tour, Victoria hasn’t performed with the Spice Girls since the 2012 Olympics, but Phoenix insisted that she should.

She continued, “Spice Girls can’t be without her, but they do do well without her anyway. They are still considered family.

She continued, “We toured in 2019, we did a few stadium shows in the UK, and it was incredible. We’re just so proud of our legacy, and we’ve got fans from younger generations who adore the Spice Girls.

The performer continued, “We’re talking and looking at the opportunities that are available.” We feel so precious about it, we want to make sure it’s the right thing, and we want to choose wise judgment.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Victoria sparked a flurry of fans when she re-entered the singing craze.

The fashion designer turned in an Instagram video as she performed an acoustic version of Viva Forever with her 20-year-old son, Cruz, marking her first performance in years.

Fans quickly reacted, begging for a full-fledged reunion to be posted in the comments. One person said, “Everything is possible to see Victoria singing her best song again.” The pair’s official studio recording of the duet, “Victoria singing Viva Forever in 2025?!?!,” was requested by some listeners. a fan remarked.

Vogue Williams revealed how cleverly she is capturing the jungle lipstick look.

If you’ve watched I’m a celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, you’ll know that the campmates have lost their phones, their belongings, and, most shockingly for some, their make-up. Despite having long since removed her makeup, Vogue Williams has managed to look strangely polished during the past few days while she has been in camp.

The secret is a permanent liner, which she claims has been using for years because “it lasts for ages,” as she casually revealed to Ruby Wax around the campfire.

And with that one off-hand comment, Lip Blush treatments were reintroduced into the limelight.

Before heading into the jungle, Alex Scott, the star of I’m a Celeb, quietly shared her anti-ageing skincare regimen.

The version Vogue swears by is nothing like the harsh ‘90s permanent make-up many of us still picture– those dark, sharply drawn lines that aged badly and faded even worse. According to leading permanent make-up artist Karen Betts, who Vogue has to thank for her own lip colour, today’s Lip Blush is an entirely different world: softer, more natural and designed to look like your lips on their absolute best day.

Think of Lip Blush as a stain-, stain-, or very subtle micro-tattooing that lasts for a long time. Karen explains that contemporary artists add a diffused veil of pigment using a micro-shading technique and ultra-fine needles instead of rigid lines. Although it doesn’t balloon the lips like filler would, it does give off a more even tone, a slightly fuller shape, and creates the illusion of symmetry.

The artist creates the ideal shape and shade by mapping out the ideal shape and shade, changing the outline as many times as necessary until it is perfect before any pigment even comes onto the skin. The actual treatment begins only after that, which lasts for about 90 minutes and leaves you feeling “like an electric toothbrush held against your skin,” Karen says. A second appointment a few weeks later is standard, to simply check any areas where the color didn’t hold up as well.

The results can last up to a year before gently fading, and most clients return every 12–18 months for a colour boost to keep everything looking fresh. So while the rest of the jungle crew are resigned to bare-faced living, Vogue’s subtly defined, naturally enhanced lips aren’t the result of breaking any ITV rules—they’re simply the product of a very clever bit of beauty prep.

In fact, this prep method isn’t entirely new for this series. Last year, Coleen Rooney and Tulisa both appeared to be wearing a fair amount of make-up on their brows, lips and eyes, leading X users at the time to ask if a few of them had snuck products into their backpacks.

Tulisa took to Instagram shortly before jetting off to Australia to update her followers on her jungle-ready beauty treatments. “I tatted the lips to match the brows, couldn’t help myself!” she penned alongside a selfie.
