The pop star made the admission on Capital Breakfast this morning.
Speaking to radio host Jordan North, she was asked which reality show she would like to do.
Jessie then replied: "Big Brother, yeah but I don't know how much (money I would do it) for, but I would love to do it."
Teasing fans she said: "Maybe I've already been asked but I couldn't do it, and my family were like 'don't do it', and I was like, 'why?'
"But it opened a lot of conversations in my family about why I shouldn't do it."
JESSIE'S BIG COMEBACK
Jessie is getting ready to release her sixth studio album, which will be her first in seven years.
It will include her new single, No Secrets, which she released in April.
Earlier this year, The Sun revealed how the singer had been working with Adele's favourite songwriting partner Ryan Tedder.
An insider said: 'Jessie has recorded a string of new songs and has her fifth album ready to go.
'She's been through some seismic changes in her life over the past couple of years, most notably becoming a mum, and it's inspired her to get back into the studio.
Jessie J reveals she's 'unemployed' as she quits pop job after 17 years and having first baby-
'Jessie spent time writing with Ryan, who wrote her song I Want Love, and they've come up with some amazing new tunes.
'It has been a long time coming but the timing had to be right.
'She didn't want to keep churning out record after record, and wanted it to feel authentic and real.
Jessie's last album, R.O.S.E, was released in four parts in 2018 but failed to have the impact the ex-Voice UK coach had hoped for.

In 2023, she split from Republic Records after 17 years and told fans she was looking for a fresh start.
Becoming a mum to son Sky was also a driving force behind her wanted to go in a different direction.
She said at the time: 'There's no negative spin, nothing's happened, it's not dramatic.
'It's just me literally saying, 'This doesn't feel right' and it hasn't for years.'

Lorde ‘pretty keen' to ‘pull some strings' and make Glastonbury appearance
This draws speculation as to whether the singer from New Zealand, who does not feature on the official line-up, will play during one of the slots marked TBA. The full scheduling for this year was announced earlier in the week and includes sets from Irish rap trio Kneecap and singer Charli XCX, as well as headline performances from British pop band The 1975, Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo. Asked if she would be playing at the festival, Lorde told Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show: 'You know, I'm pretty keen, honestly. 'I feel like, because the album's going to be coming out, I am quite tempted by what's going on, because I've got lots of friends playing as well. We'll see if I can pull some strings and get there.' The 28-year-old is friends with a number of singers including Brat star Charli XCX, who is playing the Other Stage on the Saturday night. Earlier in the year, the British singer played at US festival Coachella where Lorde made an appearance to perform their collaborative version of Girl, So Confusing. The singer, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, has played at Glastonbury before and performed on the Other Stage in 2017 and the Pyramid Stage in 2022. Asked what it was like to walk onto the Pyramid Stage, she said: 'Absolutely unbelievable, enormous. I was shooketh at the scale. So many cameras … oh goodness. So beautiful, so amazing. 'In 2017 we played the Other Stage, which was so amazing, that was kind of sunset and very moody and just the best. It's the best festival in the world.' The singer shot to fame with her chart-topping single Royals in 2013, which was included in her album Pure Heroine. She has since released the albums Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021), with her fourth studio album, Virgin, to be released on June 27. Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 with performances from the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot.

Art dealer raked in £140,000 from his crimes PRICE TO PAY Bargain Hunt star is JAILED for terror offence over plot involving priceless artwork and barbaric militant group A BARGAIN Hunt star has been jailed for a terror offence after flogging artwork to the backer of a barbaric militant group. Ochuko Ojiri - real name Oghenochuko Ojiri - was held following an investigation into terrorist financing. Advertisement 8 Ochuko Ojiri sold artwork to a Hezbollah backer Credit: Jon Bond 8 The star is known for his work on Bargain Hunt Credit: BBC 8 He was sentenced today He was the first person to be charged with a specific offence under section 21A of the Terrorism Act 2000. Ojiri has now been jailed for two-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to eight counts of failing to make a disclosure during the course of business within the regulated sector. The TV star, who has also appeared on Antiques Road Trip, faced a maximum five years in prison for the offences, which took place between October 2020 to December 2021. Ojiri sold artwork to Nazem Ahmad, a man designated by US authorities as a "major financial donor" for militant group Hezbollah. Advertisement Prosecutors in America believe Ahmad used high-value art and diamonds to launder money and fund the organisation. At the time, Ojiri knew Ahmad had been sanctioned in the US and read news articles about him. Lyndon Harris, prosecuting, said previously: "There is one discussion where Mr Ojiri is party to a conversation where it is apparent a lot of people have known for years about his terrorism links." Mr Harris said that Ojiri "dealt with Mr Ahmad directly, negotiated the sales of artwork and congratulated him on those sales". Advertisement The total value of the artwork sold was around £140,000, with the art sent to Dubai, the UAE, or Beirut. Receipts released by the Met Police show the art included paintings by Charlie Roberts, Mónika Kárándi and an £8,500 piece by British artist Nigel Howlett. Ojiri also flogged a £12,000 bronze sculpture by the same artist, as well as four pieces by Max Rumbol totalling £15,700. One painting - Patty in Blue by Baldur Helgason - was sold to Ahmad for £20,000.

Advertisement Ojiri is said to have discussed the changes with a colleague - indicating awareness of the rules. His charge came following an investigation into terrorist financing by officers from the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit (NTFIU), part of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command. The Treasury, HMRC and the Met's Arts & Antiques Unit were all also involved in the probe. Police raided two UK warehouses to seize a number of artwork from Ahmad in May 2023. Advertisement Among the pieces, which were not sold by Ojiri, were two Andy Warhol paintings and a Picasso painting. In total, the Met seized £1million in art, which was sold so the funds can be reinvested back to the police, CPS and Home Office. Ojiri was previously the owner of an art gallery called Pelicans and Parrots that was dubbed "the coolest place in London". He sold a curated selection of contemporary furniture, houseware, and gifts until the store closed in 2021. Advertisement The antiques expert first appeared on screens on BBC show Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. He then became a regular on popular daytime show Bargain Hunt, where he lends his expert advice to budding antique buyers. Ojiri has also appeared on Antiques Road Show - travelling across the country as he attempts to make a profit on forgotten items. Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said: 'This case is a great example of the work done by detectives in the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit (NTFIU), based in the Met's Counter Terrorism Command. Advertisement 'The prosecution, using specific Terrorism Act legislation is the first of its kind, and should act as a warning to all art dealers that we can, and will, prosecute those who knowingly do business with people identified as funders of terrorist groups. 'Oghenochuko Ojiri wilfully obscured the fact he knew he was selling artwork to Nazem Ahmad, someone who has been sanctioned by the UK and US Treasury and described as a funder of the proscribed terrorist group Hizballah. 'Financial investigation is a crucial part of the counter terrorism effort. A team of specialist investigators, analysts and researchers in the NTFIU work all year round to prevent money from reaching the hands of terrorists or being used to fund terrorist attacks.' 8 Ojiri started his career as an art dealer Advertisement

EXCLUSIVE All the grifting stars exploiting fans for more cash... and the worst offender is worth $400 million
Gene Simmons sparked worldwide backlash last month when he proudly announced - and later defended - his decision to charge a fan $12,495 to be his PA for the day. The KISS icon - who is worth an estimated $400million - was swiftly called out for his 'greedy' antics after it emerged he was charging the hefty sum - but he's far from the only famous face padding their net worth via fan encounters.
