Jade Thirlwall on hidden health battle
During an interview with The Guardian last year, Jade said he “made sure” the press didn’t catch wind of her health struggles.
“They’d always try to fish for a sob story, but I didn’t want that to be my identity. I was starting afresh. I thought, OK, this is a huge opportunity for me, it’s a chance to change my life,” she said.
Jade declared that she “wanted to do music more than anything” and the only way she was to make her dreams come true was if she were to be “healthy”, stating it “was the ultimate motivation”.
While Jade is in a healthier state than she was in her teens, she still receives negative comments about her supposedly gaining weight. She admitted it is a “daily battle with myself not to go on Ozempic” but has opted not to because she doesn’t “know where taking something like that would end for me”.
