The Domino hitmaker left her newly-cropped raven locks loose in a tousled hairdo, she appeared to go makeup-free.

Jessie’s pal Max opted for a tiger print patterned T-shirt as he playfully reached out to her sunglasses at one stage. 

The singer also took to Instagram to document her day out as she shared a picture of her tasty-looking salad dish at the restaurant and later tagged Max in a post.

Jessie, who has been vegan for nearly two years, revealed in 2019 that she had changed her diet and the way she lives in a bid to defy her infertility diagnosis after she was told in 2014 the heartbreaking news that she couldn’t have children.

The star, who split from on-off beau Channing Tatum in October, has been putting in a lot of studio time recently, taking to Instagram to share glimpses of what seems to be a new album in the making. 

It comes after Jessie spent Christmas Eve in hospital after being struck down with Meniere’s disease. 

The Flashlight singer disclosed her illness during an Instagram Live in December in which she revealed that she struggled to hear, sing or even walk in a straight line. 

Ménière’s disease is an ear condition that can cause sudden attacks of dizzy spells vertigo and loss of hearing.

According to the NHS website, an attack of Ménière’s disease may cause sufferers to feel like they or everything them you is spinning, lose their balance and feel sick. 

Updating her fans on what happened, she explained: ‘I woke up and felt like I was completely deaf in my right ear, couldn’t walk in a straight line.

‘Basically I got told I had Meniere’s syndrome. I know that a lot of people suffer from it and I’ve actually had a lot of people reach out to me and give me great advice, so I’ve just been laying low in silence.

‘Now’s the first time I’ve been able to sing and bear it. I just miss singing so much and being around anyone.’

The star went on: ‘It could be way worse, it is what it is. I’m super-grateful for my health. It just threw me off.

‘On Christmas Eve I was in the ear hospital going, “What is going on?”. But I’m glad I went early and they worked out what it was real quick and I got put on the right medicine so I feel a lot better today. 

‘I haven’t sung for so long and when I sing loud, it sounds like there’s someone trying to run out of my ear.’
