Jessie J has revealed that she relies on her friendships with her fellow celebrities when she becomes frustrated by the pressures of fame.
The 'Who's Laughing Now' singer revealed that she has developed close relationships with several people since becoming a star and enjoys spending time with them when not on stage.
"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," Jessie J explained to Cosmopolitan.
"I've recently become friends with Jason Derulo. He is so cool - I take the p*ss 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."
Jessie J went on to say that while she can count her number of non-famous friends on both hands, she often feels frustrated by the fact that they rarely contact her because they assume she's too busy to hang out.
"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'," she said.
"There have been times when people don't call me because they presume I'm busy. Don't presume!"
Jessie J recently revealed that she almost quit music after becoming frustrated with the direction that her career was heading in.
