I would love to do comedy more. I&#8217;d love to do film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m obviously touring a lot next year. I definitely want to make more music. I haven&#8217;t written a song for three years, but I know it&#8217;s all there ready to come out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to be happy. Happy, sane, enjoying what I do, calm, healthy, being as present as a mum as I am as at work with some decent tunes out. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd maybe doing something that challenges me, whether it&#8217;s a book or a children&#8217;s album or comedy or Broadway or film, whatever&#8217;s going to come will come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nJessie \u2013 who has son Sky, two, with partner Chanan Colman \u2013 also revealed that she was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ) in 2023 after giving birth.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cIt was when I had a baby.
