Jameela Jamil tells a surprising story about Elton John on Tuesday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”
Jamil is asked about all the odd jobs she did when she was younger to make ends meet, including becoming a DJ at 22.
As Hudson wonders how she met boyfriend James Blake, Jamil shares, “Because I became a DJ I got to meet another DJ at work, we used to work at BBC Radio 1. We were real DJs, and also radio DJs.
“It was very Hollywood and cute. There was a mix-up with our rooms that we were supposed to record in, I met him, and now I’ve been living with him and sleeping with him for eight years.
“That’s what happens when you say ‘yes’ and try things.”

Jamil recalls how she started randomly DJing after complaining about the music at a party.
She then met a woman who ended up asking her to DJ at Elton John’s party the following week.
Jamil says ‘I had a week to learn how to DJ and I pretty much made it and didn’t get chased by Elton John’, insisting she had a career of eight years after that.
