Jessie J admits she was 'struggling' during performance at 2025 BAFTA TV Awards

Jessie J has revealed she was "struggling" with acid reflux during her performance at the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday.

The Price Tag singer wowed the crowd when she took to the stage at London's Royal Festival Hall to perform her ballad The Award Goes To during the annual TV awards ceremony.

While fans have praised her vocals, Jessie candidly revealed that she didn't sing to the best of her ability because of acid reflux.

"My acid reflux about 2 hours before my performance on the BAFTAs tonight said 'HELLO JESS' (laughing emoji)," she wrote on her Instagram Stories. "People who know how that is (or singers) I'm sure could see me struggling but I threw the mic stand and pushed through (laughing emoji)."

Jessie continued, "I love life. It's never perfect but it is real. Grateful to be back and remembering how mad and magical this whole thing is. There is no hiding in these streets."

When her performance was announced last week, the 37-year-old said it was an "honour" to sing on live TV for the first time in six years.

She said, "I haven't sung on British television in years. What a way to come back, it's an honour. But who will the award go to, that's the question."

Jessie, who became a mum for the first time in 2023, made her music comeback in April with the release of the single No Secrets. Living My Best Life, the second single from her upcoming album, will be released on Friday.
