Jessie J announces breast cancer diagnosis in emotional video
LONDON, June 4: British pop star Jessie J has revealed that she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. In an emotional video shared with her fans on social media Tuesday, the 37-year-old singer described the diagnosis as a 'shock,' but assured followers that it was detected early. 'Cancer sucks in any form,' Jessie said. 'But I'm holding onto the word early.' The diagnosis came just before the April 25 release of her comeback single, No Secrets, marking her return to music after a four-year hiatus. Jessie, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, said she would undergo surgery following her performance at Capital FM's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on June 15. In her video, Jessie admitted she wrestled with whether to share the news publicly but ultimately decided to be open with her fans. 'I want to share it. I've always shared everything that I go through in my life,' she said. 'Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.' She added with characteristic humor, 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.' Jessie confirmed that she plans to "disappear for a bit" after her June concert to undergo surgery. "I will come back with massive ts and more music," she joked, before clarifying, 'No, I'm not getting massive ts. Or am I? No, no… I must stop joking.' Keeping the mood light in the post's caption, she quipped: 'No (more) Secrets — and is it too soon to do a remix called Living My Breast Life?' She explained that humor has always been a coping mechanism during difficult times. 'All jokes aside… This last two months have been so amazing, and having this go on alongside it has given me the most incredible perspective,' she wrote. 'BUT... your girl needs a hug.' Later, in an Instagram Story, she reflected, 'Just shared something super personal I've been holding onto for 9 weeks. The timing has been mad but beautiful... But honestly, I need to process it. I need a hug.' Following her announcement, Jessie received an outpouring of support from fellow artists and fans. Pop star Rita Ora commented, 'You're literally my favourite person and I'm praying for you. My mother had it, and I know surgery and any treatment is mentally tough — I'm here for you.' Paloma Faith added, 'Sending so much love. I have every confidence you will beat this.' Singer Marvin Humes wrote, 'Ain't no one stronger than you… you've got this,' while his wife, Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes, added, 'We love you so much.' Amy Dowden, Strictly Come Dancing star and breast cancer survivor, wrote: 'Sending so much love and strength.' Jessie's diagnosis adds to a long list of personal challenges she has overcome. She suffered a miscarriage in 2021 — the emotional experience forming the inspiration behind No Secrets. Two years later, she welcomed her son, Sky, with basketball player Chanan Colman. She recently shared a sweet moment about motherhood: 'Whenever Sky hears me singing, he looks at everyone in the room and says, 'Mummy's singing.' He finishes the songs I sang to him when he was a baby.' Jessie has also battled multiple health issues since childhood. Diagnosed with heart disease at nine, she suffered a stroke at 17 just after graduating from the BRIT School and signing her first record deal. In 2021, she revealed she went temporarily deaf, a condition that delayed a previous album. At an April appearance during Advertising Week Europe in London, she said: 'My health has always kept me balanced. All these things have felt like they were keeping my feet on the ground.' Despite these hardships, Jessie maintains a forward-looking spirit. 'Living in fear doesn't stop the thing you're scared of from happening,' she said. 'I may as well live in the moment while [my son] is not hurting himself, instead of being scared that he is.' Jessie continues to promote No Secrets, the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album, even as she prepares for surgery. 'To get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets, right before Living My Best Life — which was all pre-planned — I mean, you can't make it up,' she said with a smile. True to form, Jessie is facing her diagnosis with humor, honesty, and unflinching openness — a combination that has defined her career and connected her with fans around the world.

Aldi's 'naughty' new offering outside McDonald's has fast food fans in stitches
There's nothing worse than making it to McDonald's and realising you've missed the 11am cut off to get your hash brown fix. In fact, 62% of Brits believe this is too early to stop serving breakfast, with more than a fifth of us wanting breakfast food to be available all day. Well Aldi might just be the answer to our prayers, as it looks to give the beloved fast food chain a run for its money. The budget supermarket is hitting the road in its very own food truck, pulling up outside select McDonald's from 11.01am to offer its own free version of the breakfast staple. That's right, you'll be able to get your hands on Aldi's freshly cooked Oakhurst Breakfast Hash Browns all day. There's no need to rush hungover in your pyjamas to the drive through any longer. The tour will start at London McDonald's branches on ThursdayMay 29, before continuing to other UK cities on Friday. Depending on stock levels, the food truck may continue to operate over the weekend, but if they're as popular as we think they're going to be, then you'll need to be quick. The supermarket claims its hash browns have garnered cult status among breakfast connoisseurs. It even says its 'outdoes' McDonald's in blind taste tests by food critics and social media accounts. Capital FM host @aimeevivian shared her love of the viral hash browns on TikTok, saying: 'It's another run don't walk to Aldi! I love a cheeky Maccies hash brown as a treat. So to find these in @Aldi UK was a touch!' Others in the comments dubbed the supermarket hash browns 'perfect' and 'just like Maccies', so we have a feeling they'll satisfy those cravings. TikToker @dadthefoodie said: 'They look like McDonald's… you can't tell any difference.' Others online questioned how Aldi were 'getting away' with the stunt. One wrote: 'How the hell did you get away with that,' while another said: 'I love Aldi for sooooo many reasons but the fact they always choose violence has to be number one.' Others called the stunt 'Pure naughtiness!' and dubbed Aldi 'legends' for their new truck. If you're unable to make it to a McDonald's car park, you can grab a bag of 10 hash browns at Aldi for just £1.99. It's a steal when you consider the fast food chain charges £1.49 for a single hash brown. Then again you've got to cook it yourself, and we don't know if we've got the patience for that. But this isn't the only breakfast staple budget supermarkets do well. Lidl also made headlines last week after its sausages beat out competition from M&S, Heck, Jolly Hog and Sainsbury's, in a blind taste test. The supermarket sausages received a score of 77% because of their 'juicy texture' and 'perfect meaty flavour' – talk about high praise. More Trending Aldi's sausages came seventh in the taste test just behind Morrisons and Asda with a score of 69% – putting it on par with The Jolly Hog and Co-op.

Sky is shaking up some of its channels to make things easier to find - here's what's new. If you switch on your Sky TV box and notice a swathe of channel changes, you won't be alone. The telecoms and TV giant is shaking things up this week with over 30 services being moved on the telly planner. The revamp is targeting Sky's plethora of radio channels, which allow you to tune into stations such as BBC, Capital FM, Heart and talkSPORT without needing a separate speaker. So why is everything moving? A post on Sky's community pages says the reason things are being switched around is to "close the gaps in the EPG" (Electronic Program Guide). Hopefully, this should make it far easier to get to the things you want to listen to. It's been confirmed that the upgrade is taking place this week, starting May 27th. Mirror Online has checked our Sky Q box and the update has already arrived. • talkSPORT - Station moves from Ch 0108 to Ch 0107 • Capital FM - Station moves from Ch 0109 to Ch 0108 • Heart - Station moves from Ch 0111 to Ch 0109 • Heart 80s - Station moves from Ch 0112 to Ch 0110 • Radio X - Station moves from Ch 0113 to Ch 0111 • Capital XTRA Station moves from Ch 0114 to Ch 0112 • BBC WS - Station moves from Ch 0115 to 0113 • BBC R Scot. - Station moves from Ch 0116 to Ch 0114 • BBC R Wales - Station moves from Ch 0117 to Ch 0115 • BBC R Ulster - Station moves from Ch 0118 to Ch 0116 • BBC Asian - Station moves from Ch 0119 to Ch 0117 • BBC 6 Music - Station moves from Ch 0120 to Ch 0118 • Gold Radio - Stationmoves from Ch 0121 to Ch 0119 • WRN Europe - Station moves from Ch 0122 to Ch 0120 • LBC - Station moves from Ch 0123 to Ch 0121 • Smooth - Station moves from Ch 0124 to Ch 0122 • BBC R4 Ex - Station moves from Ch 0126 to Ch 0123 • BBC R1X - Station moves from Ch 0127 to Ch 0124 • BBC R n Gael - Station moves from Ch 0129 to Ch 0126 • BBC R5SX - Station moves from Ch 0131 to Ch 0127 • Heart Dance - Station moves from Ch 0132 to Ch 0128 • BBC Rlondon/Foyle/Cymru - Station moves from Ch 0135 to Ch 0129 • BBC R Cymru / BBC R Cymru2 - Station moves from Ch 0136 to Ch 0130 • RTE Radio 1 - Station moves from Ch 0137 to Ch 0131 • RTE 2FM - Station moves from Ch 0138 to Ch 0132 • RTE Lyric fm - Station moves from Ch 0139 to Ch 0133 • RTE R na G - Station moves from Ch 0140 to Ch 0134 • EWTN - Station moves from Ch 0147 to Ch 0135 • BFBS Radio - Station moves from Ch 0149 to Ch 0136 • Virgin Radio - Station moves from Ch 0150 to Ch 0137 • Heart 90s - Station moves from Ch 0152 to Ch 0138 • BBC Cymru 2 (Except Wales&ROI) - Station moves from Ch 0153 to Ch 0139 • BBC Foyle (Except NI&ROI) - Station moves from Ch 0154 to Ch 0140 • LBC News - Station moves from Ch 0155 to Ch 014 It's worth noting that you don't need to touch the settings or start retuning your box with things being switched over automatically. Along with getting those new radio channels this week, there's another reason to check your Q box. Sky has confirmed that it is offering free movies until May 31 to say sorry for this month's issue that left some users without access to contnet. "We're gifting you a Sky Store Buy & Keep movie — it's our way of saying thank you for bearing with us," Sky said in an email. Movies available as part of the gift include blockbusters such as Bullet Train, Jumanji: The Next Level, Les Misérables, Venom, Gladiator, Brides Maids and The Equalizer. To grab this bonus, Sky Q customers can click on the Sky Store from the homepage. Then they will see a 'Your Sky Store gift on us' tile at the top. It's then simply a question of picking a film. "Once downloaded, this is yours to keep forever," Sky added.

Speaking on Capital FM, the Emmy winner and two-time Golden Globe nominee expressed her excitement saying, 'We thought we'd mourned the loss and now it's rising from the dead!' Waddingham will reprise her role as the fierce yet heartfelt AFC Richmond owner in what promises to be a fresh new direction for the beloved series. After Season 3 wrapped in 2023, many assumed the series had concluded its story. But Apple quietly renewed 'Ted Lasso' last year for a fourth instalment. According to Deadline, the upcoming season will mark a major shift, with Jason Sudeikis 's Ted Lasso now coaching a women's soccer team, injecting the story with new energy while keeping the original charm intact. Waddingham praised the show's creative team calling them 'Jedi Knights,' adding that the series is shaped by a writing room full of 'feminist men' and 'fabulous women,' whose collaboration has resulted in what she described as 'so beautifully drawn' scripts. Familiar faces make a comeback Alongside Waddingham and Sudeikis, key cast members like Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones) and Jeremy Swift (Higgins) are all set to return. Their reunion signals that even the format may evolve but the heart of the show remains unchanged.
