Jessie J has revealed she was forced to spend Christmas Eve in hospital after being struck down by an illness that left her unable to hear or walk in a straight line.
After speaking to a doctor, the 32-year-old was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease – an ear condition that can cause vertigo, nausea, dizziness and loss of balance.
If left untreated, Meniere’s disease can also result in permanent hearing loss.
Opening up about the health scare on Instagram, Jessie explained, “I woke up and felt like I was completely deaf in my right ear, couldn’t walk in a straight line.
“Basically, I got told I had Meniere’s syndrome. I know that a lot of people suffer from it and I’ve actually had a lot of people reach out to me and give me great advice, so I’ve just been laying low in silence. Now’s the first time I’ve been able to sing and bear it.”

However, Jessie revealed she was single once again in October while sharing a video of herself twerking and drinking wine (the only way to get over a break-up tbh).
Alongside the video, she wrote, “What my pupils are actually doing while I calmly stare at you trying to get a quick read on your energy... Single life in a pandemic is 🔮.
“It’s supposed to be funny. So don’t get serious Sally in the comments. Sorry if your name is Sally and you aren’t serious.”
