Explaining her shock transformation, The Voice judge said she is embarking on an exploration of her sexuality and confessed she only ever did it like a dude to bag our attention.

'That really scary, spiky, cartoony kind of thing, that was me two or three years ago,' she told Elle magazine.

'Now, I'm definitely more embracing of myself as a woman and my sexuality and just being a bit more feminine.'

Revealing the motivation behind her girlie turn, the reformed tomboy said: 'I've always wanted to look like this, but it didn't grab people's attention. And in the beginning you've always got to do something that's going to make people go, "Who's that?"'

The star also complained her admission that she's done both dudes and girls, left her in a sexual pigeonhole. It hasn't stopped the 24-year-old looking for a new lover after she explained: 'It's one of those things where the media labelled me. Sexuality shouldn't define anyone. It doesn't define me. Love should be at the core of what you do. I'm only interested in finding love now.'

The star says she struggles with being the talk of the town and as a result has backed away from Twitter.

However, she says the heat of her spotlight is nothing compared to the Duchess of Cambridge's world.

After sampling Kate's life, she said: 'After the jubilee concert, there was an after-party... Me and Ed [Sheeran] were just hanging out. Will was there. And Kate. I feel so sorry sometimes for Kate. The pressure she's under.'

As for herself, Jessie says she can't help taking criticism to heart. 'Especially after the Olympics,' she said. 'More people go on Twitter to say they didn't like it, to make a point of that.'
