Despite having appeared on the South Korean version of the dance competition in 2011, Jess said returning to the dance floor was going to be a ‘challenge’.
‘The biggest challenge is learning the choreography and getting back into training seven days a week,’ she told The West Australian.
Despite her misgivings, Jessica immediately accepted the offer when her agent asked if she was interested, saying: ‘Why not, it’ll be super fun!’

Last week, the Perth-raised Sports Illustrated model said she was happy to be back in Australia after spending more than a decade in America.
‘I’m just so excited that I’m in Australia. I’m going to live in Byron for sure, there you have it!’ Jessica said.
‘I’m excited that I’m home with my friends and family now who mean so much to me. Just living the simple life after such a hectic 2020 in LA.’
