Jessie J has opened up about her irregular heartbeat and how she views life in a new light.

“It made me realise that, whoever you are, however many times a day you run or whatever you eat, s*** happens,” she said.

The Brit admitted that while her friends were out partying and drinking alcohol, she wasn’t interested.

“When you’re sitting there thinking ‘Will I walk again?’ you think ‘I haven’t got time to waste,'” she told the Irish Sunday Mirror.

“It made me very disciplined from an early age. When all my friends were trying out cigarettes and getting drunk every night, I didn’t.

“Drugs and alcohol are glamorised way too much. It’s quite sad.”
