Hitmaker Jess Glynne has revealed that being a woman in the entertainment industry is incredibly tough and to survive it you need a strong sense of self and a lot of confidence. 

In a new interview with the Radio Times, the songstress admitted that women will struggle more in the music industry because there's more pressure to prove yourself:

"As a woman I feel it's genuinely harder and I feel you need to stand for something otherwise you get lost. Women get judged more easily. A girl can make a fuss and she's a diva but a guy does the same and he's 'tough'. There's a complete double standard.”

"It's easier for a girl to get suppressed in saying things than it is for a guy. That's why I'm adamant that I won't not speak my mind for fear of being judged. I'm probably one of the least confident people you'll meet. This industry definitely makes you feel insecure. I have to be confident in doing me. If I don't believe in what I'm doing, I don't think anyone else will.”
