Jessica Rowe looks years younger as she celebrates her 54th birthday with a makeup free selfie and reveals her love affair with Botox

Jessica Rowe flaunted her very youthful visage on Sunday as she celebrated of her 54th birthday.

The podcaster took to Instagram with a happy makeup free snap as she held a plate of carrot cake in her hand and donned a sparkly pair of glasses. 

Looking much younger than her years, there was barely a wrinkle in sight on her fresh face as she posed in her leopard print pyjamas.

‘Waking up to 54! Oh I love getting older! Nothing like some Botox, sugar and plenty of laughter and joy to make each year better!’ she wrote in the caption.

Jessica has been very open about her regular use of Botox in recent years, after using the cosmetic injection for nearly 20 years to make herself appear younger.

She revealed in July 2022 she has been getting the procedure done for years after initially keeping her cosmetic work a secret.

The TV and radio presenter 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. They are not drinking green juice,’ she continued.

‘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 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.”

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

‘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.
