‘ you’re as young as you feel and i feel good’

EXCLUSIVE

Jessica Wright certainly doesn’t do things by halves. In the past two and a half years, the reality star has married her long-term partner William Lee-Kemp, had her first baby – a son named Presley – and, just before Christmas, the couple moved into their dream home.

Jess, 38, who shot to fame in 2010 when she first appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, shared every detail of the move to their swish new Essex mansion with her 1.5 million Instagram followers. But she admitted it had been a “stressful” and “crazy” time – particularly after completing extensive renovations on the property – and is relieved that they are now settled in and enjoying family life.

Here, we catch up with Jess, sister of reality star Mark, influencer Natalya and footballer Joshua, for a quick chat about career aspirations and ambitions for her bucket list – as well as the possibility of trying for baby number two…

Hi, Jess! Are you enjoying your new home now you’ve finally settled in?

It’s great. We’ve just pretty much finished. It’s been six months of… it’s been a journey, but we’re very, very happy. Last year was a blur, like everything was so bad, but we’re in now.

Your son Presley turns two in May. Has he reached any new milestones?

He’s just amazing. He’s doing things like blowing kisses, he’s speaking a lot more and he’s so cuddly and loving. I’d say within the last month, he’s totally transformed into this new little boy. I’m like, “Oh my God, where’s our baby gone?”

Do you think he looks like you or his dad?

Everyone thinks he looks like my husband, but people also say he looks like my brother and my dad too. I’d like to know where I come into it. Apparently, nowhere [laughs].

You turn 39 at the end of this year – how do you feel about getting older?

Thanks for reminding me!

Is nearing the end of your thirties scary?

I don’t even want to think about it. I think you’re as young as you feel and I feel good at the minute. The big 40 next year is something to be excited about.

Is there anything on your bucket list you’d like to tick off before you tu
