You can take the girl out of Essex, but I'll be coming back for the best stuff." She added: "I'm so happy to be back. My tours are very intimate, it's acoustic - just me and three musicians. It's very kind of stripped back, but this show will not be. This is not intimate. This will be pure Essex going off. I'm ready." Jessie was born in Chadwell Heath and went to Mayfield High School in Redbridge, which was part of Essex until 1965 and she refers to herself as an Essex girl. Her Essex upbringing means she will have plenty of family and friends desperate to see her when tickets go on sale on Wednesday (June 4). She joked: "A show in Essex round the corner from where half my family live? Everyone will want to come. My sisters, their kids, aunts and uncles that I've not seen for years. I reckon half the park will be my family." Jessie J will be performing at Hylands Park on September 6. Belinda Carlisle, Ronan Keating and Marti Pellow have also been confirmed alongside Suede, Stereophonics and Soul II Soul.

Announcing the location on Radio 2, presenter Rylan Clark said: 'I can't wait to welcome my Radio 2 family to Chelmsford and have this year's Radio 2 In The Park right on my doorstep. A post shared by BBC Radio 2 (@bbcradio2) 'If there's one thing I know for certain, it's that an Essex crowd know how to party. See you all in Hylands Park.'
