Jess Eva is your reno loving mate who's all over the Australian media landscape. From hosting television shows and high profile radio to writing books and running a production company, this former lawn bowls champ does it all, and if she doesn't know how to.. she'll give it a bloody good crack "because a no is just one step closer to a YES!"
Sunny Coast original Jess was introduced to television in a big way on Nine's The Block (2018). She and partner Norm instantly became fan favorites thanks to their hilarious antics and a unique brand of fun. Jess and Norm walked away with prize money and a whole new audience. As the season aired Jess wrapped her tenure with Sea FM and signed on with the Triple M network hosting Sydney breakfast with Lawrence 'Moonman' Mooney! A master storyteller and an open book, Jess' unfiltered, endearing and incredibly relatable persona delivered for the network and her audience continued to grow.
It wasn't long before TV came calling again and Jess joined the cast of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Staying the course, Jessdelivered her trademark humour but also delivered wisdom and incredible vulnerability. Landing in the top three, alsongside Grant Denyer and Abbie Chatfield, her jungle experience left her with bugs in her ears and yet more mad stories to add to her rolodex.
Book, Why Wouldn’t Ya? (PanMacmillan) followed as Jess aimed to help people change their lives by getting out of their own heads (and other people's). Packed with mad stories and lessons of self worth, Jess hopes readers will start viewing life as an adventure. because the worst that could happen is you'll end up with a bloody good story to tell!
Always a favourite for opinions, hot takes and no holds barred fun, Jess has been a regular on The Latest (Seven), X and The Hit Network. She also continues her reno as part of the Nine's Renovate Or Rebuild. 2022 however delivered a whole new opportunity and saw Jess take on the role of co-host alongside Tristan Macmanus on Studio Ten. Again her unexpected humour and infectious laugh brought a new energy not only to the couch but to homes around Australia. Thanks to her hosting success, Jess launched brand new series Budget Battlers (Nine). An opportunity to bring together her talent and incredible people skills, Jess will deliver incredible renovations for unsung heroes while showing viewers how you can renovate an entire home on a budget.
If that wasn't enough she runs production company Maker Media whose content you will see on screen very soon. A two-time national lawn bowls champion, a former tomato picker (yes, really!) and mum to Freddie and Matilda.
With a laugh worth trademarking and more down-to-earth wisdom than you can handle, Jess isn't taking life too seriously and she hopes you'll join her!
