Jess Impiazzi is an actress, writer and former glamour model and reality TV star. Jess first came to prominence during her time on Ex-On the Beach and Celebrity Big Brother, but her first love has always been acting, having trained at Italia Conti as a teenager and she's now back doing what she loves.
We met up with Jess in Surrey to talk about her early life and the many challenges and difficult moments she faced at a very young age.
Jess talked candidly about suffering from depression in her late teens and the moment she attempted to take her own life and why that was a turning point for her.
We talked about the negative aspects of reality TV and the lack of aftercare that is shown to participants and how Jess is excited about returning to her lifelong passions.
It was a real privilege to chat with Jess, and her warmth and positivity are truly inspiring.
