She’s been away from our screens for the past 18-months after quitting her role on Studio 10 – and Jessica Rowe is having the time of her life on Channel Seven’s The Real Dirty Dancing!
The 49-year-old broke down in happy tears after winning the coveted role of Baby on Tuesday night’s episode.

Despite being the owner of some killer abs, Jessica surprisingly admitted that she has struggled with being sexy while dancing on the show.
“When you become a mum you almost feel that a part of yourself shuts down; that part of you that is just for you. I don’t feel sexy,” she said.
However, Jess needn’t have worried, as the voting was unanimous – with all the male contestants choosing the TV star for the role of Baby.
Speaking on behalf of the boys, Jamie Durie said: “We were all just so taken with all of your performances, they were absolutely mind blowing.”
“The transformation from day one to now, has been phenomenal. This has been a very, very tough decision.”
“But unfortunately there can only be one winner… and it’s Jess! You were amazing.”
Jess – who pipped fellow contestants Stephanie Rice, Anne Edmonds and Anna Heinrich to the post – will be the Baby to Hugh Sheridan’s Johnny.
“I’m so overwhelmed. It was the furthest thing from my mind that this would happen. I can’t believe it.”
