Now, the brave star has taken to Instagram with a new health update for her 13million followers. She posted a statement reading: 'Honesty time. 'Had my worst day yesterday so far since my diagnosis and the busiest 3 months I have had in years. 'Work. Toddler. Cancer. Life etc had my mind,' the star then inputted a string of lighting emojis. Jessie continued: 'Panic attacks/ tears/ big fears/ anger/ overwhelm. Bad. 'And you know what helped?' Jessie playfully went on: 'I ate corn on the cob.

Instant mood shift.' Jessie finished by writing: "Tomorrow is a new day. The rollercoaster of cancer. "I won't just be talking about the highlights. And making jokes all the time. That isn't real life. "Goodnight. Hug ya peoples." The former Voice coach first opened up about the sad news on Instagram last week. The singer said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15. "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job," she joked. She told fans she was hesitant about going public about her diagnosis but that she decided to be "open" for multiple reasons. She said: "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book." The Grammy nominee, who also shared her ADHD and OCD diagnoses with fans earlier this year, added that she hoped to show solidarity with other cancer patients. She said: "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse — that's the bit that kills me." Referring to her latest tracks No Secrets and Living My Best Life, she said "you can't make it up" - explaining she had no idea about her diagnosis at the time of recording. Fans and fellow celebs jumped into the comments to share their support. TV and radio personality Gaby Roslin said: "Sending you so much love and enormous hugs". One fan added: "Love you and your light! This won't dim you down". While another said: "You are not alone. May your recovery be gentle, peaceful, and full of healing. Sending you a tight hug and all the love my heart can carry." 6 Jessie revealed her breast cancer diagnosis last week Credit: instagram/@jessiej 6 The star playfully added that corn on the cobs are helping 'shift her mood' Credit: instagram/@jessiej

'Not just a party:' World Pride celebrations end with defiant politics on display
After the raucous rainbow-hued festivities of Saturday's parade, the final day of World Pride 2025 in the nation's capital kicked off on a more downbeat note. More than a thousand people gathered under grey skies Sunday morning at the Lincoln Memorial for a rally that will lead into a protest march, as the community gathers its strength for a looming fight under President Donald Trump 's second administration. 'This is not just a party,' Ashley Smith, board president of Capital Pride Alliance. 'This is a rally for our lives.' Smith acknowledged that international attendance numbers for the bi-annual World Pride were measurably down, with many potential attendees avoiding travel to the U.S. due to either fear of harassment or in protest of Trump's policies. 'That should disturb us and mobilize us,' Smith said. Over a thousand people cheered on LGBTQ+ activists taking the stage while waving both traditional Pride flags and flags representing transgender, bisexual, intersex and other communities. Many had rainbow glitter and rhinestones adorning their faces. They held signs declaring 'Fight back,' 'Gay is good,' 'Ban bombs not bathrooms' and 'We will not be erased.' Trump's campaign against transgender protections and oft-stated antipathy for drag shows have set the community on edge, with some hoping to see a renewed wave of street politics in response. 'Trans people just want to be loved. Everybody wants to live their own lives and I don't understand the problem with it all,' said Tyler Cargill, who came wearing an elaborate costume with a hat topped by a replica of the U.S. Capitol building. Wes Kincaid drove roughly 6 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina to attend this year. Sitting on a park bench near the reflecting pond, Kincaid said he made a point of attending this year, 'because it's more important than ever to show up for our community.' Reminders of the cuts to federal government programs were on full display, Sunday. One attendee waved a massive rainbow flag affixed on the same staff as a large USAID flag; another held a 'Proud gay federal worker' sign; and a third held an umbrella with the logos of various federal program facing cuts — including the PBS logo. Trump's anti-trans rhetoric had fueled fears of violence or protests targeting World Pride participants; at one point earlier this spring, rumors circulated that the Proud Boys were planning to disrupt this weekend's celebrations. Those concerns prompted organizers to install security fencing around the entire two-day street party on a multi-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue. But so far, the only clear act of aggression has been the vandalizing of a queer bar last week. Late Saturday night, there was a pair of violent incidents near Dupont Circle — one of the epicenters of the World Pride celebrations. Two juveniles were stabbed and a man was shot in the foot in separate incidents. The Metropolitan Police Department says it is not clear if either incident was directly related to World Pride.

Chris Stark shares health update and 'weird' stage after cancer operation
Capital Breakfast star Chris Stark has shared how he's doing after an admittedly 'crap' year in which he was diagnosed with testicular cancer during a routine GP appointment Radio star Chris Stark has candidly opened up on the ' weird ' unexpected phase he has experienced after undergoing chemotherapy treatment and operations for cancer. Capital Breakfast star Chris, 38, revealed in March this year that he had been diagnosed and treated for testicular cancer – but insisted in the heartfelt statement he is "effectively cured" after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy. Chris was flooded with support and praise from friends and fans following his candid health announcement. Now, weeks after sharing the news, Chris has shared an update on his health and revealed the 'weird' phase he unexpectedly found himself in after being given the all clear. When asked by the Mirror how he's doing, Chris revealed to us at the Pro Am Padel Tour launch: 'I thought I was doing OK until I came here and played a bit of Padel. 'I feel like… I'm sure people who have had an experience with cancer or chemotherapy or just being unwell at some point this year – it's really hard because you get into the summer months and suddenly… I'm sort of looking at myself and feeling so unfit and I feel like that's a really frustrating feeling and I work in a job where, you know, you see a lot of pictures of yourself and videos of yourself and I feel… you know. 'I'm just really pleased that this thing was found and I had the surgery but there's a weird, kind of, after thing in this that I hadn't really thought about, which is I just want to feel a little better about myself. 'And I'm really lucky because I go into a job where I work with lovely people who, and I really feel like, they have been amazing throughout this but I really want to, as I say, I want to find some stuff this year to kind of just make myself feel a little bit better and that's kind of why I came here today. 'Everything about this – although it seems probably simple and easy to anyone else – I just wanna start doing some stuff that will make me feel a bit fitter, show that you can do something like that and challenge myself a little bit more. So I'm playing cr*p and I feel desperately sweaty, like we're sat down now as we do this, but I feel good for turning up today.' That Peter Crouch Podcast star Chris has played a few games of the increasingly popular sport of padel, before taking part in the event. But, has admitted his interest in the sport has sparked a rivalry between himself and his Capital Breakfast co-host, Jordan North. He tells us: 'I started padel and he [Jordan] started getting involved and I noticed a bit of a trend where he keeps copying me with things I'm sort of into and then I got called up to do this and he, I think, is quite annoyed that he didn't get called up to do it and it's led to a bit of tension at work. 'It's kind of under lying, which one of us is going to end up on top on the padel game – we're like two rivals at the moment. And then maybe, one day, there will be this glorious moment where we end up together but, right now – I get on really well with Jordan – but this is the one thing that we seem to be falling out on and it's spilling out onto the show a little bit,' he joked. While Chris insists Jordan is the one who copied him with his interest in the sport, Chris is happy to return the favour by following in Jordan's footsteps and heading into the I'm A Celeb jungle. When asked if he'd do the ITV show, Chris says: 'I love I'm A Celebrity, it's the biggest show isn't it? He [Jordan] had a really weird time because, obviously, he did it when it was in the castle so I don't know if it'd be a totally different proposition doing the jungle. 'But, yeah, who doesn't want to do that show it'd be terrifying. But then I feel like I've kind of had a year of doing things that… I had a really crappy start to the year with my health and that's where you actually get a little bit scared and, I think, it kind of gives you a little bit of perspective with how ridiculous and fun can your job be where you go and do something like that. I kind of like the idea of taking on a few challenges and, maybe, this has kind of reset my brain a bit to kind of give things a go. I don't know I think it'd be an amazing thing to go down.' The Pro Am Padel Tour continues in July, September, and October. Follow @proampadeltour for more updates.
