The event, organised by Apple Music, was held in London on Thursday to celebrate International Women’s Month.

‘I actually genuinely want to do stand-up,’ the mum-of-one said bluntly.

‘I love making people laugh — and cry. I just love feeling things. So yeah, I do want to do comedy.’

While cracking some jokes during the panel talk, the songstress recalled one of the most bizarre moments of her career.

‘The Olympics, when I performed with Queen and I had that yellow duvet attached to me,’ she told referring to the epic 2012 event.

‘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?’,’ she finished her anecdote.

The music icon has reportedly ‘teamed up with Adele’s favourite songwriting partner Ryan Tedder’ according to recent reports.

Jessie is rumoured to have ‘a string of new songs and her fifth album ready to go’ as she teams up with the OneRepublic’s singer.

‘She’s been through some seismic changes in her life over the past couple of years, most notably becoming a mum, and it’s inspired her to get back into the studio,’ a source told The Sun.

‘Jessie spent time writing with Ryan, who wrote her song I Want Love, and they’ve come up with some amazing new tunes.

‘She didn’t want to keep churning out record after record, and wanted it to feel authentic and real.’

The source added Jessie is ‘excited to share what she has been working on’ and hopes to announce the first song ‘in the spring’.

MailOnline has contacted Jessie J’s representatives for a comment in February.

The English singer earned a staggering £7.6million in 2023 despite not releasing any music. 

The star made the astonishing amount in pop earnings – equating to almost £28,000 per day – following her decision to cut ties with record label Republic and manage her own career. 

The figures were lodged at Companies House and take her ongoing earnings at Who You Are Ltd and Who You Are Touring Ltd to £9.9 million, although industry figures suggest that the 36-year-old artist could have sold the rights to her back catalogue.

But it is unknown how much Jessie paid herself out of the money.

The singer has not had a hit single in over a decade and her last single, I Want Love, released in 2021, did not chart. 

Jessie, who has son Sky, 18 months, with her basketball star partner Chanan Safir Colman, recently described how she was ‘killing it’ after taking control of her own career.

The singer, who is currently on tour in China, recently wrote on Instagram: ‘I have been managing myself and killing it tbh, and I am in the process of sorting the business side (which is 90 per cent of this industry) of leaving a label after 19 years and splits and cuts and money and the list goes on and on and on . . . and I am a toddler Mum.’

Jessie previously revealed that she had rediscovered her ‘sparkle’ after becoming a mother as she reflected on finding her ‘new self’ as a parent.

The star, who suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage in 2021, wrote on Instagram: ‘The road to feeling like your new self after a baby is a slow one (in my opinion) and I’m still on it for sure…

‘BUT the way this little boy looks at me and loves me. Phew. He is bringing my sparkle back. Just look at the last picture.’
