Jessie J shows off her strong physique for a bold Women’s Health cover shoot as she reflects on her breast cancer journey

by

Jessie J confidently displayed her fit body in a recent photoshoot for Women’s Health, where she also opened up about her experience with breast cancer.

The 37-year-old singer had a lump removed from her right breast in June after receiving an early breast cancer diagnosis. She recently shared that there’s a possibility the cancer could come back.

The singer, known for her song “Bang Bang,” showed off her fit physique in a sports bra and leggings, highlighting her toned arms and stomach.

Jessie showcased her legs in a stylish outfit featuring high-waisted underwear, sheer black tights, and a fur coat.

The singer shrugged off her fur coat, then lay down and playfully kicked her leg in the air.

For the January/February magazine issue, Jessie wore a burgundy bodysuit and then changed into a gold velvet Adidas tracksuit.

Jessie shared in her interview that she upset some loved ones when she delayed her surgery to perform at Capital’s Summertime Ball in June. However, she explained she felt guilty and didn’t want to spend her time feeling sorry for herself after being diagnosed with cancer.

She admitted to upsetting some people when she delayed her surgery to film the show. However, she felt it was important to do the show for her own personal growth as Jessica.

It makes me feel guilty knowing not everyone facing cancer surgery receives such incredible support. The crowd of 80,000 wasn’t cheering for my performance, but to show their love and wish me well during a difficult time. It was a powerful display of encouragement.

Just because I have cancer doesn’t mean I’m going to be defeated. I’m determined to live my life and express myself – I’m going to sing ‘Bang Bang’ with all my strength.

I’m so inspired by Jessie’s honesty. She wants to be real about her cancer diagnosis and stop the pressure to hide it and pretend everything’s okay. It’s about changing how we talk about cancer, so no one feels like they have to go through it alone in silence. I really admire her for wanting to break that cycle.

Even though she’s faced difficulties, the singer of ‘Price Tag’ says she remains unbroken and feels her experiences have prepared her to help others.

Jessie shared that she contacted Davina McCall after Davina publicly announced her breast cancer diagnosis earlier in the year.

The singer shared that she advised the television personality to focus on building personal boundaries and coping mechanisms, explaining that everyone handles challenges differently and needs to find what works for them.

Jessie has returned to the spotlight in recent weeks after having to delay her tour.

The singer shared with ABC News that she feels very fortunate to have discovered her cancer so early in its stages.

Thankfully, it wasn’t serious. We know there’s a possibility it could return, but for now, we’re focusing on enjoying life.

In October, Jessie shared how upset she was that her second cancer surgery had been delayed. This came after she’d already cancelled her tour to prepare for it.

The singer shared with her fans that she was scheduled to have a second breast surgery two weeks prior, but didn’t specify if it happened.

A week before my surgery, I met with my surgeon to discuss the procedure. It seemed more complicated than he originally thought, so he referred me to another surgeon. After meeting with the new surgeon, they suggested we could postpone the surgery for a bit.

I had already canceled my tour, so I was understandably frustrated. However, it wasn’t something I could change, and I received conflicting advice from two different surgeons.

Jessie explained that as soon as she heard the news, she instinctively shifted into planning mode and announced rescheduled dates for her US tour.

After fighting cancer, Jessie made a triumphant return to performing live on stage in September.

She opened her set at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in Chelmsford, Essex to a loud applause from fans.

With visible emotion, she shared with the audience that she’d undergone breast cancer surgery eleven weeks prior, on this very day.

Honestly, that last performance was just…wild. I went in completely unprepared for what happened, and I’m still trying to piece myself back together. Forget about trying to top that anytime soon – I’m nowhere near ready for another show like that, not even close. Babins can wait, definitely wait.

Honestly, I am a bit much, my doctors keep telling me to chill! But seriously, you get it, right? Once you’re from Essex, it just… stays with you. You can try to change, go somewhere else, but you always end up back in Essex, being me. It’s just in my blood, you know?

I’m truly thankful to be here. It means the world to me to see so many of you still singing along after all this time.

‘It truly feels like I’m a little kid. Still doing what I love.’

Jessie J’s full interview is available in the new issue of Women’s Health UK, out 23 December.
