Jessie J says she ‘misses being active mum' as she recovers from cancer surgery
The Price Tag singer announced in June that she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer and that she would be undergoing treatment.
The 37-year-old posted to her Instagram story on Tuesday, providing an update after her surgery.
'For those asking for a health update,' she wrote on her Instagram story, 'I am 11 days post-surgery. I'm good. Missing being an active mum/human the most.'
The artist, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, and her partner Chanan Safir Colman, had a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in May 2023.
Jessie added: 'But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.
'It's still uncomfortable / a little painful, but I can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean.'
The singer also revealed she has stopped taking pain medication, saying it is 'just not my thing'.
The story featured a picture of Jessie's wound drain, a tube that helps remove excess fluid or blood that can accumulate after surgery.
She asked her followers: 'Anyone else who has had this, did you feel like you are walking around one of those dog / duck toys. I carry mine on the floor when I'm home so the gravity can help the drain. Hoping it's out by the end of the week.'
The artist has battled with ill health throughout her life, having been diagnosed with a heart condition aged eight, suffering a minor stroke aged 18 and having briefly gone deaf in 2020.
The Domino singer said she is 'feeling positive and grateful', and asked fans not to worry if she 'seems a little out of it' in public.
'If you do see me out, sitting in a park or coming out of a doctor's appointment or eating or walking or anything, and I seem a little out of it. I am,' Jessie said.
'It's not personal.
'I don't have what I usually have to give energy-wise, understandably. I will get there. It's a slow road.'

Lily Allen admits she ‘can't remember' how many abortions she's had and says ‘I used to get pregnant all the time'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LILY Allen admitted she's lost count of the number of abortions she's had, and said she used to get pregnant "all the time". The singer, 40, opened up about pregnancies and motherhood to best pal Miquita Oliver, 41, on the latest edition of their podcast Miss Me? 4 Lily Allen has spoken out about her abortion history Credit: YouTube / BBC Sounds 4 She has two children from her marriage with Sam Cooper Credit: Getty Mum-of-two Lily began by revealing she's on her third or fourth contraceptive coil, describing life before them as a "complete disaster area". She said: "Yeah I'd get pregnant all the time, all the time." The provocative pop star then changed the lyrics to the Sinatra classic My Way, singing: "Abortions I've had a few... but then again... I can't remember exactly how many." Lily added: "I can't remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five." Former T4 presenter Miquita then chipped in, admitting she'd had the same amount. She said: "I've had about five too! Lily, I'm so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment. We've had about the same amount of abortions." Lily continued: "I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic." Miquita agreed with her assessment, but Lily told her she has changed her opinion over time. She now views it as a prudent financial decision, saying: "No, I don't think it's generous or romantic. Think about that investment, like that's, how much is it? 500 quid. Kids are a lot more expensive." Both women shared their frustration at feeling abortion is a taboo topic that shouldn't be discussed publicly. Lily Allen seen on 'date' with actor James Norton at festival after joining dating app "I felt really embarrassed to even say that I had more than one abortion," said Miquita. "Why the f*** should I be ashamed? I have had a few." Lily said: "It actually irritates me, and I've said it before on the record. I've seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up, and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion. "Like: 'My aunt had a kid that had this disability,' or whatever, 'if she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to.' It's like, shut up! "Just: 'I don't want a f***ing baby right now.' Literally: 'Don't want a baby' is enough reason." Lily's children - Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11 - are from her relationship with ex-husband Sam Cooper. She came under fire last this year for saying that having kids "ruined" her music career. 4 Miquita Oliver said she's had the same number of abortions as pal Lily Credit: BBC 4 Lily is single after splitting from husband David Harbour in December Credit: Getty She said: 'I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom, they totally ruined it. 'I get really annoyed when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can't.' Lily also opened up about her own childhood, calling it a "painful" time due to her film producer mum's career keeping her away from the family home. She said: "Did it have an effect on us as children? Yes it did. Do I hold that against her, no I don't - although it was pretty painful at the time." Lily continued: "People pitched in and they helped and I just don't think that sort of thing is available to us now." More recently, the Smile singer split from actor husband David Harbour in December after spending months living apart. She has been single since, but two weeks ago she was pictured moving on with Brit star James Norton as they shared a kiss at Lido Festival, London. One onlooker said: 'James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 'We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing. 'I don't think they've even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.'

Bob Vylan no longer playing Manchester festival after Glastonbury controversy
The group were due to headline the Saturday slot at Radar festival but no longer appear in the line-up. It comes as police launched an investigation after rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival last weekend. A statement posted on Radar festival's Instagram account said: 'Bob Vylan will not be appearing at Radar festival this weekend.' It has since updated its website, changing the Saturday slot to 'Headliner TBA' (to be announced). In response, the group shared the festival's statement on their Instagram story, adding the caption: 'Silence is not an option. We will be fine, the people of Palestine are hurting. Manchester we will be back.' The rap group had issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after Avon and Somerset police began its investigation. The BBC has also faced criticism for livestreaming the set and has since apologised, describing the chants as 'antisemitic sentiments' that were 'unacceptable'. It later emerged BBC director-general Tim Davie was at Glastonbury while the performance was being livestreamed. Bob Vylan performed on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury (Yui Mok/PA) A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' The group have since been banned from entering the US, ahead of their tour, with deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau revoking the duo's visas for their 'hateful tirade at Glastonbury'. They have also been pulled from their upcoming performance at a German music venue. Bob Vylan are expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August. The group was formed in Ipswich in 2017, and are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports, while his bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan.
