Despite having appeared on the South Korean version of the dance competition back in 2011, Jess admitted that returning to the dance floor has been a ‘challenge’.
‘The biggest challenge is learning the choreography and getting back into training seven days a week,’ said the Perth-raised catwalk stunner.
Having placed third in the Korean version of the show almost a decade ago, Jessica was keen to return to the format, revealing that when her agent asked her if she wanted the job she said: ‘Why not, it’ll be super fun!’

Jessica has also expressed enthusiasm for her return to Australia and revealing she plans to settle in Byron Bay.
‘I’m just so excited that I’m in Australia. I’m going to live in Byron for sure, there you have it!’ Jessica said in a statement last week.
She added: ‘I’m excited that I’m home with my friends and family now who mean so much to me. Just living the simple life after such a hectic 2020 in LA.’
