“I didn’t always think I’d survive,” laughs Jessica, who has worked across networks Nine, Seven and Ten. “But I'm a big believer in giving things a crack. It may not always work out the way you hope, but I’d always rather give something a go and see what happens.” It’s this attitude that has helped the veteran TV star find the “right place, for right now,” as co-host of Channel Ten’s breakfast show, Studio 10. “It’s a great team of people and we’re given permission to let our personality come through and that’s what resonates with people,” explains Jessica. She has been hosting Studio 10 alongside Sarah Harris, Ita Buttrose, Joe Hildebrand and Denise Drysdale, since 2013. “It’s a cliché I know, but we’re friends with our viewers and because we cover a range of topics - from the silly to the serious - I think that strikes a ALL HER DUCKS chord with people too.” The show manages to find the balance between humour and IN A headlines, and it’s this point of difference that is also its greatest strength. “It felt different from day one, softer, lighter, more open, there’s just no trouble,” says Jess.
