But Jess Wright’s last TV appearance was in 2021, when she allowed cameras to follow her and husband William Lee Kemp as they prepared for their wedding. 

And since welcoming son Presley in 2022, Jess has been focusing on being a mum - but now she’s ready to make her telly comeback and has signed up for the next series of Cooking With The Stars, The Sun can reveal. 

An insider told us: “Jess is finally back on reality TV after four years away - she’s worked, obviously, but her most important role was being a mum. 

“She’s been cooking for her family but has never done a cooking show before so was nervous about signing up.”

 

Despite her temporary break from TV, Jess has had her hands full since becoming a mum. 

Last year she shared that Presley has Bicuspid Aortic Valve, a congenital heart disease.

Jess later shared an update and told how her little boy will need regular check ups going forward. 

Speaking to The Sun, Jess said: “ "He's good, it's an eight-to-twelve week check up for the foreseeable so it's going to be really tough.

"It's been tough but I've had such an amazing response. When we first found out, we kept it to ourselves.

"We were kind of grieving the news, which sounds really morbid, but it's something you have to accept and forever know that this is going to be life now.”

Earlier this year Jess revealed she’d had a secret breast reduction, confessing she was “sick of her big boobs”. 

She told us: “My recommendation to any girl out there who has lovely boobs to begin with, which I did have, and I still do have, thank God, since having them out – don’t have any implants.

“As I’ve gotten older, I was worried about having foreign bodies in my body.

"I just got to the point where I didn’t want anything in my body anymore, and if I ever have a daughter, I wouldn’t want her to either.”
