UMVA has learned that singer Jessie J has revealed she is now cancer-free, 12 months after announcing her diagnosis.
The 38-year-old shared the good news on social media, telling fans she 'sobbed for hours and then exhaled for the first time in a year' after receiving her test results.
Jessie, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, was in hospital for her yearly check-up, after being diagnosed with early breast cancer last year. In a video from a chair in the medical facility, she told her fans: 'I'm actually s*ing myself, I'm not gonna lie.'
She went on to describe her experience of having a breast MRI, saying: 'Gotta go in for my MRI, pretend I'm not claustrophobic. And if you haven't had a breast MRI, you have to lay on your front and put your arms in the air like Superman.'
The former judge from The Voice admitted she was very nervous before going in for her scan, but expressed positivity, saying: 'But fingers crossed all good, all good. Positive vibes.'
Jessie revealed her cancer diagnosis in June last year, and said she was holding on to the word 'early', highlighting that cancer 'sucks in any form'. She underwent a mastectomy, which she joked left her with 'wonky boobs', and was back performing by the end of last year.
Jessie has been open about her experience with cancer, saying it has changed her perspective on life and made her re-evaluate her priorities. She has also spoken about the support she received from fans and other celebrities, including the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
In April, Jessie completed her No Secrets Tour with gigs across the UK and Europe, after originally postponing and cancelling dates to undergo further cancer treatment.
