Jessica Mauboy reveals she fronted the cost of her tour

She’s the former Australian Idol contestant who’s gone on to become one of the nation’s most successful singer-songwriters.

But despite her status, on Sunday, Jessica Mauboy revealed she fronted the cost of her last All The Hits tour.

Speaking to Confidential, the 28-year-old beauty confessed that the risky investment left her below breaking even. 

‘There was a moment when I got scared s***less; I don’t have that kind of money, so I invested everything I made from some corporate gigs, all my savings,’ she said. 

‘I lost a bit but I put in the work and it was a triumph because it wasn’t just about me, it was about this beautiful community of fans, the Mauboy mob.’ 

And reminding her fans she doesn’t just have the voice of an angel, Jessica has been appearing as the leading lady in Seven’s The Secret Daughter.

She’s aware: She added she still tries to stay conscious of what’s she putting into her body as it can have an effect on how she feels 

‘On the weekends I’m terrible because I love my salt and vinegar chips. I’ll probably still go for a run, but then I’ll go to the movies on Saturday night and take, like, a packet of chips and watch the movie and just be, like snacking.’ 

But as a working actress, Jessica confessed she has to make do with the catering on offer.

She added she still tries to stay conscious of what’s she putting into her body as it can have an effect on how she feels.

‘On set, it’s salads or whatever’s [available]. But if it’s bread, I normally feel heavy so I try to get the insides of the sandwich and leave the bread. I’m terrible but I guess you just got to do whatever’s going to get you through,’ she said of her diet while filming.
