Jessie J is facing a miserable Christmas after she was struck down with a "painful" throat infection.
The singer, who was recently named as the Brit Awards Critics' Choice for 2011, began to feel ill earlier this week (begs20Dec10), telling her Twitter.com fans on Wednesday night (22Dec10): "I'm not well. My throat kills."
She was no better on Thursday morning (23Dec10) and pulled out of a planned appearance on BBC Radio 1 with DJ Fearne Cotton.
In a post on the microblogging site, she explains, "This actually sucks. I've been up since 6am. My throat is so painful. Everyone I know has a throat infection and I guess it's my turn.
"Fearne Cotton you have no idea how upset I am!!!! Thank you for thinking of me and when I'm better I'll come and sing you the whole album."
