Toilet Trouble
Jessie J will be hoping for no problems with the loos tonight after she locked herself in a toilet during Jay-Z and Kanye West's recent 'Watch The Throne' tour and had to rescued by their security.
The London singer got into the rather embarrassing situation when she went along with fellow The Voice judge Will.i.am to watch the pair at London's O2 arena when the incident occurred.
"I went with Will.i.am to the first 'Watch The Throne' show in London," Jessie told The Sun "I somehow managed to find myself walking onto the stage with them all - Will, Kanye, Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian."
She added: "I was like 'Wow, what a crew', then me and my friend got stuck in the toilet. We nipped in to do our make-up and my friend knew the door was broken but locked it anyway and said, 'Babe I think I've broken the door'.''
''They'd been on for one song, we could hear them and it got to about 15 minutes and Jay's security came in and they literally kicked down the whole door."
The signer and The Voice judge will be presented with a handmade Jessie J Toolkit, which has been made by award-winning Shrewsbury-based chocolatier Melanie Fallon. The toolkit will be delivered to Jessie J before taking the stage tonight in front of 11,000 fans.
The gourmet food maker was asked to make the toolkit by Free Radio, one of the event sponsors. Melanie Fallon said “I came up with a toolkit, so that she can fix anything that comes her way’ they’ll be nothing stopping her getting on stage tonight.
