Jessie J's showbiz pals help keep her "sane"

Jessie J has opened up about her showbiz pals and revealed that she relies on 'Starry Eyed' singer Ellie Goulding to stay "sane". 

In her new interview for December's issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, the 'Nobody's Perfect' star explained that it's great to have friends in a similar position to her as they understand the pressures and strains of being in the public eye:

"I'm really close with Ellie Goulding. She keeps me sane as she's one of the people who can understand what my life is like."

She also admitted that she's recently added names such as Tinie Tempah and Jason Derulo to her phone book and was impressed by how down to earth they were:

"I've recently become friends with Jason Derulo. He is so cool - I take the p**s out of him a lot! And Fearne Cotton, and I got on really well with Dermot O'Leary when I did 'X Factor'. I'm really close with Tinie Tempah too. He came over for dinner last week."

 

 

Speaking of the friends she's had since before she was famous, Jessie J concluded:

"I've had friends who've dipped in and out of my life, who've said, 'I just didn't want to bother you.' And I'm like, 'You're one of my best friends. You calling me is not bugging me.' There have been times when people don't call me because they presume I'm busy. Don't presume!"
