JESSIE J famously sang it’s not about the money, money, money – but now she wants to make it all about the FUNNY.
The Price Tag star hopes to leave fans rolling in the aisles by becoming a comedian.
Jessie said: “I actually genuinely want to do stand-up.
“I love making people laugh — and cry. I just love feeling things. So yeah, I do want to do comedy.”
She cracked some jokes during panel talk The Woman I Am, organised by Apple Music in London on Thursday for International Women’s Month.
And at the event, she recalled one of the most surreal moments of her chart-topping career.
Jessie explained: “The Olympics, when I performed with Queen and I had that yellow duvet attached to me.
“They didn’t turn the choreographer’s mic off in my ear.
“He was going, ‘Get it. Oh my God. Yes! Own it!’. I was like, ‘What is going on in my life?’.
“Luckily I sang in time. After that, I went home, had a cheese sandwich and I watched Come Dine With Me.
“I just remember thinking, ‘What is actually happening?’.”
I told last month how Jessie is gearing up for a return to music, seven years after her last record.
And she revealed she has written not one, not two, but three new albums.
She said: “This year, I finally got a team together. I wrote three albums over 2019 to 2021. And I have so much music.
“That’s not the hard part. For me, it’s getting it out. And I have new music coming very soon.”
Louise Redknapp, Tiwa Savage, Eve and Rochelle Humes were also on the panel at the exclusive event, which supported Apple Music’s Alpha playlist, aiming to redefine the meaning of a woman’s power.
But Rochelle shattered any hopes of a return to pop.
After being referred to as a music artist and entrepreneur, the star — who was in S Club Juniors and The Saturdays — clarified: “Ex-music artist.”
When host Rebecca Judd said she was “scaring” her by suggesting she will never come back to music, Rochelle added: “I don’t think I will.”
I won’t hold my breath for a Saturdays reunion, then . . .
