She announced her shock resignation from Studio 10 on Friday morning.
But according to a report in The Daily Telegraph last November, Jessica Rowe may have been involved with the exit of another integral member of the morning show.
At the time, the paper quoted an insider as claiming that she and co-star Denise Drysdale had complained about the program’s executive producer, Rob McKnight, before he was axed by Channel Ten.
Explosive claims: According to report published in The Daily Telegraph last November, Jessica Rower and Denise Drysdale allegedly complained about Studio 10’s executive producer, Rob McKnight
According to the report, Rob was instrumental in launching Studio 10 four years ago, which has ‘reinvigorated’ the embattled network.
The insider told The Telegraph that things unraveled when Denise hurled a brussel sprout at co-star Ita Buttrose during filming for a food segment late last year.
While Denise thought it was all in good fun, the incident ‘inflamed already simmering tensions on set’.

Denise and Rob allegedly had a tense conversation about the incident leading to her and Jessica approaching network bosses to complain about him.
Executive producer Rob was axed from Ten shortly after, although it has not been confirmed whether the incidents were related.
After Jessica announced her resignation on Friday, the ousted took to Twitter to make an explosively claim that Ten have been plotting to ‘sack’ the popular presenter for ‘over a year’.

Network Ten shot back a vehement denial regarding Rob’s explosive claims, telling Daily Mail Australia in a statement: ‘Mr McKnight’s claim is completely wrong, obviously spiteful and deliberately misleading.
‘As Jess said, she has decided to leave Studio 10 to devote more time to her family and her other interests. Anyone who suggests otherwise is being petty and ignorant. Jess is welcome back to TEN anytime.’
Last month Ita also denied there was any tension behind the scenes on Studio 10, telling Kyle and Jackie O: ‘There’s no feud, it’s rubbish. Well, as Donald Trump would say it’s fake news!’
