Jesse J reveals career pivot for next year after ADHD diagnosis

Jesse J has opened up about her plans to pursue other interests next year.

Jessie appeared on Women's Health UK Just As Well podcast and reflected on her journey with motherhood, getting diagnosed with ADHD, battling breast cancer and her plans for next year.

"Next year I'd love to go into stand up. I would love to do comedy more. I'd love to do film," she said.

The singer has acted in musical theatre and done voice roles in films like Ice Age: Collision Course.

However, Jessie doesn’t intend to steer clear of music.

"I'm obviously touring a lot next year. I definitely want to make more music. I haven't written a song for three years, but I know it's all there ready to come out," she said.

"I just want to be happy. Happy, sane, enjoying what I do, calm, healthy, being as present as a mum as I am as at work with some decent tunes out," the Bang Bang hitmaker said.

"And maybe doing something that challenges me, whether it's a book or a children's album or comedy or Broadway or film, whatever's going to come will come." she added.

She also revealed that she got diagnosed with ADHD after welcoming her son Sky, two, in 2023.

She explained: "It was when I had a baby. I just could not hide it anymore…When I got the responsibility of Sky, and just the way my brain runs, when you're a new mum…the burnout days were insane…"

"So I got diagnosed and then I've really been working on it, having some therapy, learning about what it feels like, when it gets worse, what makes it better," she added.
