Jessica Rowe is not the one to shy away from a challenge, but she has opened up about her struggle with the idea of being sexy on television.
Speaking on her LiSTNR podcast, The Jess Row Big Talk Show she asked the question, ‘do you lose your ‘sexy’ as you get older?’ and got emotional when she became confronted with the idea of being sexy for The Real Dirty Dancing television series.

“I had to be caring for people that I had to be responsible. And I know that this doesn’t make sense in the sense of, well, you can be responsible and also be sexy, but I hadn’t fully appreciated how much of myself, the essence of who I was, how much of I’d lost over time.

“What struck me too was when this show aired, there was, you know, various clips of me getting quite emotional and theory was the number of women who reached out to me and said, oh, that is me.
Jess loves getting older, because she gets to be unapologetically myself.

Jess praised former Bachelor contestant and now radio presenter Abbie Chatfield for her strong stance on her sexuality and seeking pleasure without shame, which a lot of women fear.
“Young women, like Abbie Chatfield, who I just love because I want to soak up some of her fierceness over her sexuality and the fierceness that she has over seeking pleasure and not being embarrassed about that,” she confessed.
She then posed the question to her listeners, “Do we lose our sexy because we feel embarrassed that we’re not sexy anymore?”
