Jessica Cornish, 31, was born and raised in Redbridge, east London. She began her career aged 11 with a role in the West End musical Whistle Down the Wind. At 16 she enrolled at the Brit School before rising to fame in 2010 with the release of her first single, Do It Like a Dude. She has since sold 23m records, performed at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics and been a judge on the talent shows The Voice and The Voice Kids. She lives alone, splitting her time between LA and London.
I am usually woken up around 7am by an alarm that I want to destroy. If I am going to the gym I have a probiotic in the kitchen and grab a protein bar. Otherwise I go big on breakfast. I’m vegan and love to cook, so I might make a puff pastry and put tofu, courgette, onion and chickpeas inside. If it’s good for you, I’ll eat it.
I’ll do some housework in the morning. I work off to-do lists and go through each room with my assistant and sort out what needs doing, or buying. Tidying is my love language. Cooking, organising, singing and sex are my favourite things, in that order. If I wasn’t a singer, I’d be a house organiser like Marie Kondo.
I’ve loved to sing for as long as I can remember. Whitney Houston was a huge inspiration. Her song I Have Nothing was my audition song that got me the record deal that took me where I am today. When I first started as a singer I loved being a role model, but now I don’t want to be one. It’s not healthy for young people to idealise anyone or put people on a pedestal just because they have a talent. It puts you in these handcuffs that, if you break them, you let millions of people down.

The singer Jessie J has always worn her heart on her sleeve. Nine years ago, when she was proudly bisexual, she cast her female lover in the video for her breakthrough hit, Do It Like A Dude. In 2014, as she migrated towards heterosexuality, she announced the change with a forthright tweet: ‘I fancy/date/love men and only men’. It’s no surprise that with romance again in the air, her new boyfriend looms large in her conversation.
“I’m thinking about calling my next tour ‘Magic Mike and I’ and having Chan open for me as a stripper,” she cackles. “He’d do it too! That would sell some tickets, eh?”
“Chan” is the American actor Channing Tatum, star of the 2012 comedy Magic Mike as well as such box-office hits as 21 Jump Street and Foxcatcher. The 31-year-old Jessie, born Jessica Cornish, rearranges the hem of her figure-hugging brown dress when she talks about Tatum. They have been dating since last autumn.
Then, as if by magic, he texts.
“Aw, he wants to know what suit he should wear for his meeting,” she chuckles, gazing lovingly at her screen.
Jessie appeared on Good Morning Britain this morning to promote The Voice Kids. HQ photos of her backstage & on the show have been added. You can watch her interview now on Youtube, where she talks about ‘Singer’, The Voice Kids & Channing Tatum’s jenga forfeit.
