She has even included a glamorous snap of herself at July’s O2 Silver Clef Awards in London’s Royal Albert Hall. Jessie, who has a three-year-old son, Sky, with Chanan, has put her location as London and linked her profile to the 1999 hit Everything Is Everything by Lauryn Hill. A source said: “Jessie is taking everything in her stride and is putting herself out there again on the dating apps. “She is focused on co-parenting Sky but is open to dating if it is the right person.” Jessie shared a statement with her 13.9million Instagram followers last month over her decision to split from Chanan. She wrote: “Chanan and I decided to end our romantic relationship some time ago. Most read in Showbiz “It has been a sad and difficult situation, but we have been focused on navigating the change privately and positively for a healthy and happy co-parenting environment for our son and ourselves. “Unfortunately, being in the public eye, this is the easiest way to let people know the truth, before rumours circulate or a false narrative is written. “We will always continue supporting each other with love, respect and care as friends and most importantly being Sky’s mum and dad. “So if you see us out and about together as a family every now and again, that’s exactly what we’re doing.” The pop star added: “Raising and loving Sky together, supported with a positive friendship.” Jessie, who was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer last year, revealed in May that she was free of the disease. She recently told me how she was hoping to learn Danish, play the piano and learn to ride a bike after being given the all-clear. Hopefully, Jessie finds the right match to get her back in the saddle. Jesy is on team Towie Jesy Nelson is planning to relocate from Cornwall to Essex after splitting from her boyfriend Credit: Getty LITTLE MIX star Jesy Nelson believes the only way is Essex. The pop star is relocating from Cornwall and looking at homes in Brentwood after splitting from her boyfriend Zion Foster. Earlier this year, Jesy revealed that their twin daughters Ocean and Story have been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 1. It is a rare genetic condition that causes muscles to weaken and can affect the ability to crawl and walk. She has since turned to Towie star Lauren Goodger for support as she navigates motherhood and her daughters’ health. Lauren tragically lost her second daughter Lorena shortly after birth in 2022. Jesy has also started dating a new man, gardener Ben Davies, who previously dated Lauren’s former Towie co-star Lydia Bright. A source said: “Jesy has denied joining the cast of Towie, but she is spending more time in Essex to be closer to her mum Janice who has been a rock. “Jesy is grateful for Lauren, who has also gone through an incredibly tough time.” Sounds like Jesy has an incredible village around her. Emma’s tantric text Emma Watson is studying for a masters degree in creative writing at Oxford University Credit: GC Images HARRY Potter star Emma Watson could be launching a new career… as a poet. The actress, who is studying for a masters degree in creative writing at Oxford University, recently read from a collection of “autobiographical poems” at a showcase for literary agents and publishers. At the high-brow event at one of the Oxford colleges, Emma read three poems from her collection, titled Goddess In Repose, including one named Tantra, which appeared to reference the way she has been sexualised in her career. One rhyming line that stunned the audience read: “Madonna Whore, I need to settle this score”. An onlooker said: “The poems were quite revealing, but I don’t think she should give up the day job . . . ” Karol G shows her metal Colombian singer Karol G was going for gold as she kicked off the first of three nights in Los Angeles Credit: Reuters The Tusa hitmaker flaunted her figure in a skimpy metallic outfit with tassels Credit: Reuters COLOMBIAN singer Karol G was going for gold as she kicked off the first of three nights in Los Angeles .

JAMES HASKELL is hitting the right notes again after launching his own record label. The ex-rugby ace has started Rogue Unit Records, building on his time as a DJ. It is described as “sound recording and music publishing activities”. James, who split from Chloe Madeley three years ago, made 12 trips to Ibiza the year they had daughter Bodhi. Commenting on this previously, he said: “Should I have done all of them? No? Should I have been around more? Yes!”. But the pair have put that all behind them and now co-parent Bodhi, while he hopes to make a success of his new label. He moved towards music after retiring from rugby in 2019 and has played sets in the UK, Ibiza and Dubai. Sounds like summer will be all year round for James. Ari’s night to remember Ariana Grande installed a pop-up store for her brand R.E.M Beauty at London’s O2 Arena Credit: Getty ARIANA GRANDE is not just taking over London with her music this month. The singer has installed a pop-up store for her brand, R.E.M Beauty, at London’s O2 Arena for her ten-night residency. Ariana kicked off the first UK date of her Eternal Sunshine Tour in the capital last night. Fans can try out make-up at the temporary store and get their hands on the limited-edition brown bear charm that has a pocket to hold her £17 lip glosses. She is also selling £22 transparent bags that adhere to her tour’s strict policy. Attendees may only bring clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags, which do not have any tints or prints and are no bigger than 30cm x 15cm x 30cm, into the venue. Ariana launched her beauty brand in 2021, and said it aims to “blend artistry and everyday play for limitless self-expression”. Experience is ABBA fab ABBA’s Mamma Mia! The Party at London’s O2 might just be the ultimate night out Credit: mammamiatheparty IF you’re an ABBA fan, Mamma Mia! The Party might just be the ultimate night out. The immersive experience at London’s O2, based on the hit movies, transports you from Greenwich to Greece, with a taverna setting that genuinely feels like you’ve landed on a sun-soaked island. Running since 2019, the show has recently welcomed former X Factor singer Sam Bailey to the cast. While I tucked into a Mediterranean feast, the action unfolded around the tables, with the energetic performers working their way through ABBA’s biggest hits. And this is definitely not a show where you sit quietly and politely applaud. By the end, the taverna has transformed into a disco, with the entire audience on their feet belting out Dancing Queen, Waterloo and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight). It is brilliantly bonkers, unapologetically cheesy and huge fun. You’ve seen the holograms, been to the theatre and now it’s time to party . . . Comment now
