Jessie J shares sad health update amid cancer battle
The British pop star was diagnosed with early breast cancer in June and had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction that month.
However, her journey is far from over and the star recently told fans that she will need to undergo further surgery after she was rushed to hospital following complications.
In her latest post, the singer has confessed that her hair won't stop falling out.
In a video shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the Price Tag singer said she has been suffering with hair loss since the initial surgery.
'My hair has been falling out like crazy since the surgery. Five weeks today since my surgery and I'm feeling okay,' she shared.
'I've still got quite a lot of cording so that's my main focus.'
Cording, also known as Axillary Web Syndrome (AWS), is a condition where cord-like structures develop under the skin, usually in the inner arm, after breast cancer surgery.
'My boobs still aren't even, it's still so sore,' she added before going on to discuss with fans what her future could look like with her young son, Sky.
'I'm just trying to figure out what the next six months will look like,' she said.
'I know I can't do everything that I was supposed to be doing but I just want to be able to make it work the best I can for everybody, me, Sky, my fans but in the right order.
'You are always gonna leave some people disappointed. My perspective on everything has changed so much.'
At the start of June, the Do It Like A Dude singer revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and would soon undergo surgery.
The former Voice coach, who shares a son with basketball player Chanan Colman, opened up about the sad news on Instagram in video she uploaded.
In the post she told fans: 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.'
She added: 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'.'
The singer then said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball.
Then, while performing at the Summertime Ball in June, she spoke about wanting to beat breast cancer.
'Talking of no secrets, you'll know I've always been an open book,' she said while on stage.
'Today this show is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer.'

Bodhana Sivanandan becomes youngest female chess player to defeat grandmaster
A 10-year-old girl has become the youngest female chess player to defeat a grandmaster. British junior Bodhana Sivanandan beat 60-year-old grandmaster Peter Wells in the last round of the 2025 British Chess Championships in Liverpool this week. The International Chess Federation said Sivanandan's victory at 10 years, five months and three days beat the 2019 record held by American Carissa Yip, who defeated a grandmaster at 10 years, 11 months and 20 days. In chess, grandmaster is the highest title given to a player. Once it is attained, the rank is held for life. Sivanandan has now been given the woman international master rank, which is the sits as the second-highest rank given to women exclusively and is just behind woman grandmaster. The young chess sensation told the BBC she hoped to achieve her ultimate goal and become a grandmaster. Her father Siva said last year that the family was shocked at her chess ability because he and his wife were not good at chess. Sivanandan victory over the grandmaster was not smooth sailing. Partway through the match it looked as though her opponent would comfortably win. But some calm and calculated moves helped her overcome the tricky situation and win. "How on earth did she win this? She must be some kind of magician," the English Chess Federation's commentator Danny Gormally said on the live stream. "She likes to play simple positional moves … very solid player. But she tends to outplay her opponents later in the game," Mr Gormally added in his commentary. "There's a touch of Magnus Carlsen or the great Jose Raul Capablanca about her play." As director of Junior Chess, Tim Wall oversees the age group categories at the English Chess Federation. He said: "Bodhana is an inspiration to girls." "The way she exudes calmness and maturity on the board … she clearly has a very strong work ethic," he said. "She certainly has a very high ceiling."

Prince Andrew unleashes foul-mouthed rant at workers near his home: report
IN LONDON Prince Andrew unleashed a foul-mouthed rant at workers near his home who were installing speed bumps, it has been reported. According to The Sun, the disgraced Duke of York, 65, had a bout of road rage and confronted the group working within the Windsor Great Park estate. 'What the f**k are you doing now?' Andrew allegedly shouted at the men, who were putting in the traffic-slowing bumps. He reportedly became even angrier when he realised that one of the bumps was being installed on the road out of his sprawling mansion. 'The worker was just going about his job when Andrew, on one of his regular rides round the estate, came along and looked down from up high and said, 'What the f**k are you doing now?' the source claimed. 'Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is right by the gate out of the park.' It's not the first time Andrew's alleged temper tantrums have been exposed. In early 2022, the duke allegedly yelled at a female gardener on his estate, claiming she was cutting trees incorrectly. She was 'shaken and upset' over the unpleasant encounter and reportedly no longer works in Andrew's vicinity. That same year, his former maid, Charlotte Briggs, told The Sun that he had once sworn at her over a pair of heavy curtains. She alleged that he'd made her run up four flights of stairs to close them as he sat nearby, and when a small gap was left behind, he shouted: 'Can't you f*****g do anything right?' It was also reported in 2016 that Andrew had rammed closed park gates in his Range Rover to avoid a short detour home. The duke is once again at the centre of an unflattering spotlight of attention, thanks to the publication of extracts from an upcoming book focusing on him and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks. In one of the previews, released via the Daily Mail, it was alleged by author Andrew Lownie that"'tension' between Prince William and his uncle is at least partially caused by 'rude' remarks about his wife. A source told Lownie there have been issues between the Duke of York and William for years amid Andrew's reputational free fall. According to the insider, Andrew had been 'rude' about Kate – although details of his remarks were not divulged. Lownie also writes that William had been campaigning for years to get his uncle – who lives with Sarah – evicted from the Royal Lodge, which is situated on the grounds of Windsor Castle. 'He [William] also loathes Sarah, Andrew's ex-wife, and can't wait for the day when his father throws them both out,' the source alleged. 'If Charles doesn't, I guarantee you the first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is to get them evicted.' It's also been widely reported that William has been instrumental in ensuring Andrew remains out of the working royal fold in the years since his trainwreck Newsnight interview.
