THE VOICE Hold on to your hats, folks, Jessie J is all set to storm into town with a spectacular night of mega hits and big soul vocals. Following a whirlwind 2014 which saw her top the charts worldwide and wow the big festivals, Jessie is kicking off 2015 with a six-date UK tour. Here’s what you need to know...

Jessie’s chart-topping mix of big soul vocals, contemporary R&B and pop guarantees that she’s big news in the music world, and her collaborators range from B.o.B and Dizzee Rascal to fellow The Voice coach Will.i.am and RnB bad girl Nicki THERE’S NEIGH BEER LIKE WYLAM... Minaj. Everyone wants to work, it seems, with our Jess.

Born to perform? Well, her first words as a one- year-old in 1989 were ‘jam hot’ from the Beats International song, she was in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End production of Whistle Down the Wind when she was 11, in 2003 she won the Best Pop Singer category on TV’s Britain’s Brilliant Prodigies, and she graduated the BRIT School in 2006 alongside Adele and Leona Lewis.

She’s also a prolific songwriter and has penned hits for artists including Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Rihanna, none of whom can sing nearly as well as she can, but we’ll let them off.

Jessie also has the heart condition Wolff- Parkinson-White syndrome which caused her to have a stroke at the age of 18. “I was a sickly, skinny girl who had a slight green tinge to her skin because of the drugs and who was always in and out of hospital,” she says of the young Jessica Cornish, growing up in Essex. “Now, my boobs are small, my legs are long, I’m skinny, I’ve got man hands… and no one gives a s**t!”
