Jessie J had to sell her glass house because of fame.
The 26-year-old singer was forced to sell her home in Surrey, south east England, after fans started to flock outside her plush pad in a desperate attempt to catch a glimpse of the star following her two series stint as a coach on talent show 'The Voice'.
She said: "I bought a house in Surrey. It was all made of glass.
"But after 'The Voice' I had a new, weird level of fame and I had to sell it as I couldn't be famous and live in a glass house."
Jessie admits she has a degree of sympathy for the new owners when she spotted a group of supporters outside the home singing her 2011 hit 'Domino', after she had moved out of the abode.
Speaking on tonight's (26.09.14) episode of chat show 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man', she added: "Six months after I sold, these kids were outside singing 'Domino'.
"I felt so sorry for the people who bought it."
While the raven-haired star has a huge fan base in the UK, she recently revealed she was planning to move to Los Angeles after selling her London home because she feels more "appreciated" across the pond.
She said: "In America they see me as a singer whereas here I feel that people don't appreciate my voice. I've dedicated my life to singing and I want it to be taken seriously.
"Here it seems that all people want to know is what I've had for breakfast and who I'm sleeping with."

Lady Gaga asked for her jacket back when audience members fought over it during a concert this week.
The 'Poker Face' hitmaker had tossed the neon garment into the crowd during her 'ArtRave: The ArtPop Ball' show in Antwerp, Belgium but was unhappy when two fans began fighting over the item of clothing in an attempt to take home a special memento of the gig.
She warned: "Careful. Don't fight."
Then, she sternly added: "Hey, hey. Give it back."
The audience gasped as they realised she was serious and the jacket was quickly returned.
Gaga handed the jacket to one of her dancers and told the crowd at the sold-out Sportpaleis venue: "If you're going to fight, you don't get to keep it. Here we practice love."
She then walked over to the fans who had been fighting, blew a kiss and said: "And don't worry, I still love you."
Gaga recently admitted she is overwhelmed by her success and the support of her fans, who she calls her Little Monsters.
She tweeted: "Spent a lot of time crying today, happy tears, but many. I can't believe my life. Being able to buy nice things, travel, it's overwhelming.
"Some days it hits me so hard, reality, I can't express my gratitude enough to monsters+team for believing in me. U changed my families life. (sic)"
The 'Born This Way' hitmaker admitted she is feeling "very humbled" at the moment and has vowed to continue to keep paying her supporters back by producing plenty of music and performing gigs.
She wrote: "I hope with my music, shows, and message I can share with you all these blessings though the beauty of art. Love, a very humbled Lady. (sic)"

Jason Orange quit Take That to escape fame.
The 44-year-old singer left the band because he no longer wanted to feel "violated" by the industry and even grew his beard and hair in the hope of going unrecognised in public after the group reformed in 2006.
A fan, who once asked him for a picture when they spotted him in Manchester, told The Sun newspaper: "He was the grumpiest person in there. We asked him for a quick picture and he said, 'No, this industry makes me feel violated.'
"He had a small entourage of young ladies with him. We were extremely polite in asking but he point blank said 'No'. My friend said she had spent money seeing him in concert but he just walked off."
Jason, who was the only member of the group not to embark on a solo career when they broke up in 1996, is now keen to travel the world and appears to be in a better mental place after he decided to quit his career.
A source explained: "Jason hated being in it first time around. He genuinely likes going off travelling the world with a backpack, being anonymous and fancies himself as a thinker. He feels he's got his life back. He can now kick on and do what he wants to do."
Jason announced on Wednesday (24.09.14) that he'd informed his bandmates - Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen - of his decision to quit last week.
The group will now continue as a trio.

Jason Derulo believes "everything is cool" between him and Jordin Sparks following their recent split.
The couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2012 but have been dating since 2011, called time on their relationship when their busy careers put pressure on their romance, but the 'Talk Dirty' hitmaker, 25, insists he'll always remain friends with his ex-lover.
Speaking on radio station KDWB-FM yesterday (25.09.14), Jason confirmed he'd split from Jordin, adding: "Everything is cool, man. It's not a bad situation. You know, it's not one of those kinda things."
However, the break-up came as a complete shock to fans as Jason gushed just over a month ago that the 'No Air' singer, 24, was 'The One' and he's known it ever since he broke one of his vertebrae in 2012.
Asked when he realised she was his match, he said in August: "I knew that pretty early on. I felt that when I was in the hospital with my neck injury. I felt different ... I felt like I needed her in my world."
The hunk also went on to say that they had a stable relationship and they were glad they were strong enough to deal with the pressures of the industry.
He said previously: "You know, of course we have our problems just like anybody else. But our relationship is a positive one and that's good for people to see in today's entertainment industry."

The Madden Brothers have described Pharrell Williams as a "visionary".
The twins, Benji and Joey - best known as members of rock band Good Charlotte - have been working with the 'Happy' hitmaker on their debut album as a duo, and have praised him for being so understanding of the musical direction in which they wanted to go.
Benji told issue 19 of FAULT Magazine: "We worked a lot with Pharrell on the record - we wrote two songs on the record with him - he really gets the vision and supports it.
"Three years ago, when we decided to do this Madden Brothers thing, we told him how we wanted it to be and he was like, 'Yeah The Eagles, I can see that s**t.' He's a visionary and then we started writing songs [together]."
The brothers - who were photographed by Miles Holder for the magazine (www.fault-magazine.com/issues) - revisited many bands who they listened to in their youth such as The Eagles and The Beach Boys for inspiration when recording their album 'Greetings From California'.
Joel explained: "We listened to The Beach Boys, The Eagles and then, as teenagers, Sublime and then Dr. Dre's Chronic and all these hip hop records. We've been in California for 10 years and while we are from the East Coast, it was [always] our dream to get to California."
The Madden Brothers' debut single 'We Are Done' and album 'Greetings From California' are both out now on Capitol Records.

Kristen Bell felt "pressured" to find the perfect name for her unborn child.
The 'Frozen' star - who already has a 17-month-old daughter Lincoln with her husband Dax Shepherd - is expecting her second child with the 39-year-old actor and confessed the pair struggled to come up with another moniker.
She told People magazine: "It's a lot of pressure, especially because we felt 'Lincoln' was so perfect."
Fortunately, the pair have managed to settle on an idea just in time as the latest addition to their family is due "sometime soon" - although Kristen was keen to keep the name under wraps.
She said: "We had a little bit of a breakthrough. We've settled on one, thankfully."
Meanwhile, the 34-year-old actress recently confessed her daughter is "the smartest baby ever" because she is already talking and learning sign language.
She said: "She signs a lot, which is nice. There's a lot of research to suggest that they will be happier if they can communicate before their verbal scores are developed.
"There's a time when they can understand everything you're saying but their verbal scores don't exist."
She added: "I can talk to her and she'll sign in three, four word sentences which is really amazing. She'll come in the kitchen and be like [signing] 'More crackers please!' And I'm like, 'Yes, okay!' "
She added: "She's MENSA, without a question!? She's the smartest baby ever!"

Sam Worthington and Lara Bingle are expecting a baby.
After months of speculation, the 'Avatar' star and his model girlfriend are set to welcome their first child, US Weekly can confirm.
Rumours that the pair were expecting first surfaced when Lara, 27, appeared to cover her baby bump with a jacket when she stepped out in New York last week and was later pictured visiting a medical office while holding her tummy.
The famously private pair are yet to officially confirm the news which comes just months after Sam, 38, was cleared of assault following a scuffle with a photographer in Greenwich Village, New York City.
The actor reportedly punched the photographer multiple times in the face after Lara claimed he kicked her shin.
Sam was charged with third-degree assault, third-degree attempted assault and second-degree harassment but avoided being thrown behind bars after he quietly entered into a conditional dismissal deal on April 8 at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York.
A source said at the time: "They're inseparable. They've been making steps in their relationship but he's an extremely private guy."
