The Superstar singer opened up last night
Singer Jamelia held back tears in a dramatic Celebs Go Dating scene this week after she recalled escaping an abusive relationship.
The hit-making singer and actress, 43, who was once a Loose Women panelist, shared how she “escaped in the night” after music-maker Terry Wallen allegedly “battered” her while she was holding their baby daughter Teja.

Celebs Go Dating star Jamelia: ‘It was a couple of days after I had her’
Talking to relationship expert Anna Williamson, 43, Jamelia claimed: “He would beat me up all the time, and the last time he beat me up was when I had my daughter. It was a couple of days after I had her, she was a newborn baby, and he hit me while I had her in my arms.
“I was very young, I was too young, I was 16 and he was 25. And, at the time, I would have told you it was love and it was amazing. And because it was to me as a 16 year old. But the relationship was abusive.”
The relationship with Terry happened at the start of her music career, where she went on to bag four MOBO Awards, a Q Award, nine BRIT Award nominations, eight UK top-10 singles and three studio albums making the top 40 in the UK.
Jamelia also alleged to Anna that she could “go and do a show to thousands of people and then I’ll come home and get battered just because, you know: ‘Who do you think you are?’”
