The star signed with EMI — which is also home to Taylor Swift and Elton John — to much fanfare in November 2022.
However, I've been told they have parted ways after her third album, simply titled Jess, didn't do as well as she had hoped.
While her first two records, 2015's I Cry When I Laugh and 2018's Always In Between, both went to No1, this one peaked at No6 in its first week and dropped out of the chart entirely the week after.
A music insider said: 'Jess knows plenty about having massive hit singles, so there was a lot of excitement when she signed her deal with EMI Records.
'Planning next moves'
'But it's not exactly been the fruitful relationship that either had hoped.
'The album didn't do as well as anyone wanted, and none of the singles even graced the Top 40.
'She's had a tough time reintroducing herself to the public after a few years away.
'Both she and the label decided it was for the best to stop working together.
'But Jess isn't letting it dampen her spirits.
'She is already working on new music and is planning her next moves.'

The Grammy winner, who is in a relationship with sports pundit and former footballer Alex Scott, scored all of her No1 singles in a four-year period from 2014 to 2018.
Her exceptional run started with the Clean Bandit collaboration Rather Be, and was followed by My Love with Route 94, plus her solo singles Hold My Hand and Don't Be So Hard On Yourself.
She also topped the charts on the Tinie Tempah song Not Letting Go, as well as a collab with Rudimental and Macklemore called These Days, and, lastly, solo track I'll Be There.
It'll be seven years next month since that one took pole position.
But I've got every faith she can climb those charts once again in the future.

The Only Way is Essex original stars now as show celebrates 15-year anniversary
The Only Way is Essex is celebrating 15 years on our TV screens this year so we took a look at where the OG cast are now since leaving the show The Only Way is Essex is set to celebrate its 15th anniversary this year, and it's marking the occasion with a bang. The ITV2 reality show will kick off the new series with a cast trip to Portugal. Fans won't have to wait much longer for the return of the show, as it airs on Sunday 17 August on ITV2 and ITVX. Despite some fresh faces joining the mix, viewers are still captivated by the original cast members who brought drama, fights and romances that the British public couldn't resist. It's been 15 years since we first met characters like James Argent and Amy Childs, but what are the original TOWIE cast up to now? Mark Wright From the moment he burst onto our screens, Mark Wright was the ultimate heartthrob. In the first series, Mark was dating his childhood sweetheart Lauren Goodger, and was often seen with his best mate James Argent. Since then, Mark has become one of TOWIE's most successful alumni. He's now married to the incredibly talented Michelle Keegan, and they welcomed their first child together in 2015, ten years after tying the knot. Now 38, Mark works as a DJ on Heart radio and runs his own health and fitness company, Live Wright. He also renovated his marital home with Michelle, sharing stunning photos of the transformation on Instagram. Amy Childs (Series 1, 2 and current) Amy became a viewer darling the moment she graced our screens thanks to her bubbly and entertaining character, and naturally, she made the word "vajazzle" famous which had Essex completely obsessed. Following her stint in the opening two series of TOWIE, Amy landed her own programme titled It's All About Amy, and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing in fourth place in 2011. Amy has recently returned to the reality programme. She's also mum to four youngsters, and is in a romance with First Dates personality Billy Delbosq. Maria Fowler (Series 1-3) Maria was part of the programme from day one but later stunned audiences when she embarked on a short-lived on-screen relationship with the late Mick Norcross. But her television journey took a different direction when claims emerged that she'd been working as an escort. Following three series she departed the popular reality programme 'by mutual consent'. Maria has since withdrawn from public attention and is now a devoted mother of two. She welcomed her second baby in 2021. The former reality personality is wed to Kalvin Batey and describes herself as a permanent makeup specialist. Harry Derbridge (Series 1-3 and current) Harry was amongst TOWIE's founding members and has remained a legendary fixture of the programme to this day due to his extravagant character and mischievous quips. The personality stepped away from the programme before making a short comeback in the 2014 series and is presently part of the lineup after returning permanently in 2022. Sam Faiers (Series 1-11) Sam Faiers, a key figure in the inaugural episode of TOWIE, was at the heart of many dramatic storylines and rollercoaster romances. Initially, she was entangled with Mark Wright, despite his on-again off-again relationship with Lauren Goodger. In the second series, Sam kindled a romance with Joey Essex, leading to their engagement in the eighth series. In March 2014, Sam announced her temporary departure from TOWIE after the conclusion of its eleventh series, due to her diagnosis with Crohn's disease. She later starred in The Mummy Diaries on ITVBe alongside her sister Billie and their families, but left the show in 2021. The reality star is also a mother to Paul, eight, Rosie, six, and Edward, two, whom she shares with her boyfriend Paul Knightley. She co-founded Revive Collagen and resides in Hertfordshire. Billie Faiers (Series 2-18) Following in her sister's footsteps, Billie joined the TOWIE cast in the second series. Unlike her sister, she wasn't involved in any romantic storylines, but often found herself in the midst of heated arguments. After making a significant name for herself and establishing a personal brand, Billie decided to leave the reality show after five years to focus on her family and other business ventures. Billie has been married to Greg Shepherd since 2019, and they have three children together. She frequently posts pictures of her family holidays, snaps of her beautiful home, and updates on her career, including her upcoming reality TV school with sister Sam. Joey Essex (Series 1-10) Joey Essex, a regular on the reality TV circuit, has appeared in numerous shows since his TOWIE days. His credits include I'm a Celeb, Love Island, Celebs Go Dating, and Dancing on Ice, to name just a few. He's also been linked with a string of famous faces, including Love Island's Jessy Potts and Grace Jackson, as well as Stephanie Pratt from Celebs Go Dating. Currently, Joey is partnering with Amazon and attending a host of exclusive events. Lucy Mecklenburgh (Series 1-10) Lucy Mecklenburgh not only won over viewers during her time on TOWIE but also captured the hearts of Mark and later Mario on the show. She continues to be a force to be reckoned with, enjoying a highly successful career. Since leaving TOWIE, Lucy has collaborated with brands like Very and PrettyLittleThing. She also runs her own company, RWL, which promotes women's health and happiness through exercise. In her personal life, Lucy is engaged to actor Ryan Thomas, and they have two children together. The couple frequently share affectionate posts on Instagram, including recent snaps from their stunning holiday to St Kitts. James 'Arg' Argent (series 1-19 and 21-23) Arg became a household name after appearing on the reality show in 2010 with then-girlfriend Lydia Bright. Following his initial split from Lydia, he had an on-again, off-again relationship with Gemma Collins. Between 2013 and 2015, Gemma was in a relationship with newcomer Rami Hawash, while Arg rekindled his romance with Lydia. In October 2014, Argent was temporarily suspended from The Only Way Is Essex due to a failed drugs test. He made a comeback to the series but exited in 2018. After his stint on TOWIE, Arg and Gemma continued their tumultuous relationship until it ended abruptly when she received a string of distressing text messages from him. Arg has also battled with body image issues and in 2021 he revealed that he had undergone gastric sleeve surgery. Last year, he introduced his new girlfriend Nicoline Artursson to the public before making a one-off return to TOWIE for the Christmas special. He's now split with Nicoline following an incident in Spain when he pushed his now ex-girlfriend down a flight of stairs, causing the injuries, reported the Mirror earlier this year. He admitted his crime at a court in Spain where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. Lydia Bright (Series 1-9 and 11-20) Lydia catapulted to fame as part of the original cast of The Only Way is Essex in 2010. She became renowned for her turbulent relationship with fellow cast member James 'Arg' Argent. Lydia and Arg's relationship history extends even beyond TOWIE as they have been in an on-and-off relationship since their teenage years. However, after his infidelity and drug use, Lydia decided to end things. In August 2019, Lydia announced that she was expecting a baby. Loretta, born in March 2020, is Lydia's first child with her ex-partner Lee Cronin. In 2024, Lydia introduced her new boyfriend Ben Davies to the public, but confirmed she was single again by the end of the year. Chloe Sims (Series 1-23) Chloe Sims, one of the longest-serving cast members of The Only Way Is Essex, left the show in 2022 along with her sisters Frankie and Demi Sims following off-camera 'disagreements'. The rumours were confirmed when Chloe announced in July 2022 that she and her sisters would be leaving TOWIE to start their own show on OnlyFans TV, titled House Of Sims. Her brother, former TOWIE star Charlie Sims, and his fiancée Georgia Shults are also part of the new venture. Chloe is currently living it up in LA and was recently linked romantically to Lionel Richie's son. Lauren Goodger (Series 1-6 and 16-19) Lauren was a TOWIE OG and during the first season she was in a relationship with Mark Wright before they split in 2012 after dating for 10 years. She was on the show on and off for a few seasons before returning properly in 2024. She welcomed her daughter Larose into the world in 2021 with then-boyfriend Charles Drury. Lauren sadly lost her second daughter shortly after giving birth and has since split from Charles. The Only Way is Essex will be back on Sunday, 17th August on ITV2 and ITVX.

Move over, Americans... Englishmen are the next best thing! From Nicola Peltz, Zendaya, Olivia Rodrigo and JoJo Siwa, all the stars who have found love with a Brit
Move over Americans, Hollywood scarlets can't get enough of the British accent. American stars including Nicola Peltz, Zendaya, Olivia Rodrigo and JoJo Siwa have all found love with a handsome Englishman. British males are certainly having their spotlight as more and more A-lists bag themselves a English hunk. Figures on the dating site, Dating Across The Pond, which has been matching Brits to Americans since 2010, show 65 per cent of it's 108,000 members are American women. Google searches for 'British men' also went up 21 per cent over the past year, proving British men are the next hot topic. Even Love Island UK winner Toni Laites - who resides in Las Vegas - admitted she has 'no reason to be in America anymore after finding love with Londoner Cach Mercer on the ITV2 show. But are Englishmen the next best thing? Daily Mail reveals all the American girls who fell victim to the British charm... Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham They have been the talk of the town ever since they said 'I do' for a second time at her family's estate in Westchester County on August 2. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, first tied the knot in a lavish £3million ceremony in 2022. As the eldest son of former England footballer David, 50, and Spice Girl Victoria, 51, Nicola walked into a very iconic British family. The pair began dating back in October 2019, went Instagram official a few months later, and by July 2020, Brooklyn had popped the question. David and Victoria and siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, were all missing from the 200 people guest list at their vow renewal amid their heartbreaking family feud. His grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. Brooklyn become increasingly estranged from his family since he snubbed his father's 50th birthday, and now, the family fear it's a final kick in the teeth. Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge Olivia and English actor Louis may have reached a major new milestone in their romance after two years of dating. Strolling hand-in-hand down an Los Angeles sidewalk on Sunday, all eyes were on the massive diamond ring on Rodrigo's engagement finger. While the singer and her British boyfriend, both only 22, have remained tight-lipped about whether he's popped the question, her dazzling new accessory is said to be the talk of Tinseltown. It also adds to recent fan speculation that Olivia subtly mentions Louis in her hit 2023 track, 'So American'. Olivia and Louis first made headlines as a couple when they were spotted together in his hometown, London, in October 2023. In a October 2024 interview with Elle magazine, Louis playfully dodged questions about whether Olivia's song "So American" was about him. At the time, he laughed and said, 'Not my song, not my place. So I wouldn't know.' He did, however, share that Olivia has influenced his music taste, saying, 'My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently. Chappell Roan has been on repeat.' Describing his own approach to relationships, Louis said he sees himself as a 'golden retriever' boyfriend type — easygoing and loyal. 'I think in past relationships my mind worked at a different speed to the women I've known,' he explained. 'A bit slower. The way I would characterize it is like a Golden Retriever and a black cat. I can imagine being happy sitting and catching a Frisbee.' Zendaya and Tom Holland US superstar Zendaya, 28, has been dating the British actor, 29, since 2021 after meeting on set of the Marvel movie. Tom and his fiancée Zendaya have become one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples since finding love on set in 2016 while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming. When they're not appearing at red carpet events and film premieres, they manage to keep a low profile and are often pictured walking their dog Noon together in London. The couple were forced to delay their wedding, according to her trusted 'image architect' Law Roach. 'The process hasn't even started yet,' the 47-year-old stylist updated E! News. 'Zendaya is working on so many movies. She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.' The Challengers producer-star first sparked engagement rumors at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on January 6 while rocking a Jessica McCormack-designed diamond sparkler estimated to cost $500K. The very next day, TMZ reported that Tom had 'got down on one knee' and popped the question 'between Christmas and New Year's Eve' at Zendaya's family home in Oakland, CA: 'It was romantic and not over the top.' The London-born Englishman told Men's Health at the time: 'When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore. [It'll just be] golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.' JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes American singer JoJo, 22, and Love Island UK star Chris, 32, met during a stint on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and have since been to and from America and London to visit each other. Chris recently revealed he turned his relationship with JoJo from friendship into romance by putting his feelings down on paper. The pair became instant friends on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and began dating after the final. Chris told how he went to the US to surprise JoJo for her birthday and wrote down his feelings on a piece of paper in a hotel bar in order to tell her how he really felt. Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'I was confused about how I felt. Then I wasn't confused anymore. I knew I needed to write it down to explain to her how I was feeling. 'I went to Florida thinking "I really like this person", but I was slightly confused about the feelings. I had already written her birthday card before I flew over. I took all these presents over for her. They were fun and sentimental gifts rather than anything of monetary value. 'But the night before her birthday, I realised my feelings had changed. I told her: "I've got to go do something. I'll be back in half an hour." I went to the hotel reception and borrowed a pen and came back up to the room.' Chris said he loved JoJo as a friend at first but his feelings began to change towards the end of the series. Up until her relationship with Chris, JoJo had identified as a lesbian and was in a relationship with Australian influencer Kath Ebbs, although they quickly broke up after she left the Big Brother house. Gabbriette Bechtel and Matty Healy The American model-musician, 27, and The 1975 frontman, 36, have been linked since September 2023. They were first spotted packing on the PDA in New York City, shortly after his well-publicised split from Taylor Swift in June that year. The couple went on to announce their engagement in June 2024 after a whirlwind nine-month romance, with Gabbriette showing off her black diamond ring on Instagram. In an interview with British Vogue, Gabby opened up about her relationship with Matty and even hinted about wanting children in the future, gushing: 'I love being in love,' after hanging up the phone to her fiancé. She added: 'When I thought that I was in love before it was just me being a person of service to somebody else.' Hinting at how she and Matty first connected, when answering what her advice to anyone still looking for love is, she replied: 'Answer all your DMs and listen to your closest friends.' 'When they like somebody, you should listen to them.' Ashley Roberts George Rollinson Pussycat Dolls star Ashley, 43, met her British boyfriend George, 25, in 2023. The loved-up couple have gone from strength to strength ever since they were first linked. The singer recently gave an insight into her love life and revealed why she prefers dating Brits over American men. In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Ashley said she feels like an 'adopted Brit' after moving to London from the US in 2012 after her appearance on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! She admitted she could never imagine dating a man from the US now because they're 'overwhelming'. She said: 'Yes, George is British. It's funny because I have been here so long that when I go back to the States, I'm much more aware of the differences… 'American men are, I feel bad saying this, but they're overwhelming, they are too much. I'm like, you need to calm down. 'I think because I grew up in that culture, I didn't necessarily think anything different but now I've lived here for so long and I've dated in the past, many years ago, European men... 'But I don't even imagine myself dating an American guy now. They have a different approach. Even in places like Vegas it's all around you that kind of testosterone.' Ashley, who's originally from Phoenix, Arizona, says she is thankful to have settled down in Britain and after The Pussycat Dolls went their separate ways in 2010.
