Jessica Rowe, 52, reveals she has been getting Botox for 17 years

Jessica Rowe revealed on Wednesday she has been getting Botox for the last 17 years, after initially keeping her cosmetic work a secret.

The TV and radio presenter, 52, also called out celebrities for lying to their fans about why they look so youthful as they get older. 

She said on her podcast The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show: ‘We need to share this stuff, because otherwise you start wondering what other people are doing.’

‘Now I know that celebrities are lying,’ she added. ‘They are not drinking green juice. 

‘I think, “No, cut that crap. The only reason your skin looks like that is because you’re getting poison in your face.” Please be honest about it.’

The former Studio 10 host admitted she had tried to hide her early Botox appointments, which she had two to three times a year, from her husband Peter Overton – until he discovered a receipt for the procedure in the mail.

She said she felt ‘ashamed, embarrassed and vain’ by the discovery, which is why she hid it for so long. 

Jessica went on to say: ‘[Peter] initially was cross. He was like, “Pussycat, what a waste of money. That’s vain. You don’t need to get that done.”

‘I did feel initially ashamed, but then I thought, “No, wait a minute. I want to get this done.”‘

She continued: ‘It’s made me feel better, and I’m going to keep getting it done. It’s been 17 years later and I feel more like me.’

Jessica started getting the procedure at age 35 after noticing an expression of ‘shock and horror was constantly on my face’ following the birth of her two daughters, Allegra, 15, and Giselle, 13.

She said Botox makes her ‘sparkle just that little bit more’ when she is feeling particularly run down, and insists she is not doing it for anyone else but herself.

She believes it is important for people to do what makes them feel good about themselves, and that women who get Botox aren’t less feminist than women who choose to age naturally.

‘I get Botox, and I’m a feminist, and I believe you can do both,’ she said. 

‘My brand of feminism is about supporting the different choices we make.’
