A few days after being struck with the condition she took to Instagram for a live video, but said “the media took three words from this live and created a very dramatic version of the truth”.

She’s since spoken in full detail about when she became unwell, after speculation surfaced in the tabloids around her ordeal.

In the video Jessie explained she felt like she was completely deaf in one ear and walked into a door, but is now beginning to feel better after seeking medical advice.

The singer continued: “I’m not posting this for sympathy. Im posting this because this is the truth. I don’t want anyone thinking I lied about what actually happened.”

She said the condition means she’s finding it hard to sing loudly and she misses singing “around anyone.”
