Episode Description

Jessie J joins Gemma Atkinson and Claire Sanderson on Just As Well for a raw, funny, and deeply moving conversation about the year that changed everything.


In this episode, Jessie opens up about her 2025 breast cancer diagnosis — from finding the lump and getting the call, to surgery, recovery, and what it means to keep showing up while raising her son. She also reflects on early fame, lifelong health challenges, grief, and her adult diagnosis of ADHD and OCD, sharing the coping tools that help her stay grounded when life gets loud.


Honest, unfiltered, and full of Jessie’s trademark humour, this is a powerful story about resilience, perspective, and choosing to live — out loud.
