Jessie J shares update on cancer diagnosis as she says 'the tears are real'
Singer Jessie J has revealed she has 'no cancer spread' following an operation, after announcing earlier this year she had been diagnosed with 'early breast cancer'.
The 37-year-old, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, posted a picture of her son saying 'mummy's going to be OK' on Instagram while announcing the news. She said in the post: 'And I am OK, results = I have no cancer spread, happy tears are real. Thank you for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.
'This video is from the night before my surgery. We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life, the darkness will never win. Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters, but for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.'
In early June, the Price Tag singer said she had been spending time 'in and out of tests' when announcing her diagnosis. She said in a post at the time: 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.
'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive tits and more music," she added.
The pop star said she had announced her diagnosis publicly to help her process the news, and to show solidarity with others who were going through a similar experience.
The London-born singer welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, in 2023, having had a miscarriage in November 2021.
She 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.
Jessie J performed at Capital's Summertime Ball last month, where she promised fans she would 'beat' breast cancer. The singer-songwriter has had three number one songs in the UK singles charts with Domino, Price Tag, and Bang Bang.
She was awarded four Mobo awards in 2011 including Best UK Act, Best Newcomer, Best Song for Do It Like A Dude and Best Album with Who You Are and won the Brit Award for Rising Star in 2011.

Now the pair have reunited from their long-distance love to spend a cosy afternoon playing video games. Chris captured their bare legs wrapped up together as they enjoyed the colourful challenge, which played out on a TV mounted to the wall. Singer JoJo then re-posted the snap with the words: "Check out the level difference." LOVED UP The now-couple became extremely close while they co-starred on ITV reality show CBB. They spent a large chunk of time in the house cuddling and snuggling, despite JoJo's then-relationship with Kath Ebbs. Just hours after finishing in third place on the ITV series, JoJo dumped Kath at the after-party. Recently, ITV Racing correspondent Chris was open and honest about how "totally in love" he is with JoJo. "I am really in love with this one," he told the Daily Mail. JoJo Siwa & Chris Hughes 'will marry' - PLUS: Can we trust Love Island anymore? | Showbiz Fix "She is my princess, she is a good one." It came after he opened up to the Sun's Fabulous Magazine about the backlash he has faced after he went official with their relationship. He told us: "I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before. "But it doesn't bother me – as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine." JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs: JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025. The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier. JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after. Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life. 'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing. 'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.' Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together. However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes. He added: "Meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. "She is the most precious person….I'm obsessed with her. "I'd do anything for her." Discussing their romance, JoJo - who couldn't keep her hands off Chris during their recent trip to LA - also previously told The Guardian: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way. She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now." 6 The Love Island alum said how 'opinions are fine' on his relationship - so long as they weren't 'nasty' Credit: Getty 6 Chris and JoJo haven't been able to keep their hands off each other since their exit from the ITV spy house Credit: Instagram/Chris Hughes

How 'This Fan Girl' are changing what it means to be a fan of women's football
Ahead of the UEFA's Women's Semi-final between England's Lionesses and Italy on July 22, community platform This Fan Girl is redefining stereotypes of women in sports This Fan Girl is the creative community "where women power football" that promises to be "there for women in the game". Celebrating the Lionesses since 2016, and redefining what it means to be a 'fangirl', the online space is growing in numbers this Euro's. With nearly 20,000 followers, here's why the creative football consultancy should be on your radar this summer. During the Lionesses ' win against Sweden on July 17, the brand embraced the rise of the 'football core' fashion trend by hosting a watch-party that celebrated female fans of sport. The event was hosted in collaboration with TKMaxx. Attending the event, what caught my attention was the sense of community and shared enthusiasm for the sport. I was struck by how fashion had become a trendy gateway to welcome more 'fangirls' in. Who are This Fan Girl? This Fan Girl is "an online platform and community for women in football" that has been running since 2016. A spokesperson told the Mirror that: "We want women to feel fully involved in the game in all the ways they want to; working, playing and spectating". Their website states that "all women should have access to football and the benefits it brings". They plan to do this by providing access to sport culture, creativity & community. For eight years, the platform has acted as a creative studio and consultancy to nearly 20,000 Instagram followers. By curating fun and bold campaigns to bring women in sport, This Fan Girl has transformed a once marginalised community of fans - by coming together. Founder Amy Drucquer states her mission to as battling the sexist representation of female football fans in the media. Their website claiming the Google ranking of "female football fan" at the time of their formation "only scratched the surface of this rapidly growing fan culture". For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. In the time since, This Fan Girl has made a significant stand for the progression of modern football culture. They have taken ownership of the term "fangirl" that validates women for their interest in sport by providing connection and acceptance. They are particularly focused on game-day fashion, football-core outfits, and even Lioness-themed nails. Their partnership with TK Maxx explored how fans can show up to support England's Women's team in affordable style, agreeing that the global fashion trend was an inclusive spectrum of feminine and androgynous looks. Unfortunately for women in sport, the UEFA's Women's Euros are in the midst of tackling the layered sexism and racism towards its players. In light of the racial abuse targeting player Jess Carter, The Fan Girl reposted a statement by Sarina Wiegman on Instagram. This said: "We stand with Jess and all Lioness players past and present who have suffered racism". "No one should have to endure such vile abuse, be that in football or any walk of life. Representing our country is the greatest honour. It is not right that while we are doing that some of us are treated differently simply because of the colour of our skin. "Until now, we have chosen to take the knee before matches. It is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism," adding that the team "have agreed as a squad to remain standing before kick off on Tuesday". The statement concluded: "We hope the game can come together to see what more can be done," before demanding that "those behind this online poison must be held accountable".
