Jess Impiazzi has insisted she’s a serious actress now and is keen on leaving her reality TV and glamour modelling days behind her because she’s ‘grown up’.

The 33-year-old found widespread fame on MTV’s Ex On The Beach in 2016, but had previously appeared on TOWIE in 2012 and in the pages of popular lads’ mags.

Confessing she ‘hated’ being a reality star, she told The Sun: ‘I want to be taken seriously as an actress. One of my all-time favourite actresses is Julia Roberts, and I would love to be like her.

‘Reality TV is a dangerous place. Viewers think they know you and like to judge you. It is a breeding ground for trolls. My advice to younger people is to never do a reality show.’

Jess concluded: ‘My advice to younger people is to never do a reality show.’ 

Following a discussion with Coronation Street’s Amanda Barrie during her stint in 2018’s Celebrity Big Brother, she decided she wanted to pursue an acting career.

Jess went on to feature in a string of low-budget films, including action movie Dangerous Game in 2017, alongside the likes of Darren Day and Calum Best.

And in her new picture Keep Calm & Carry On, an Amazon Prime comedy, she will try her hand at playing footballer’s fiancée Danielle, who gets dumped in the series.

A WAG in her own right, Jess is currently in a relationship with ex Arsenal player Jermaine Pennant, 39, following her divorce from Denny Solomona in 2018.

It comes after the TV personality revealed her beloved father Colin has died aged 70 following a long battle with lung cancer and other complications.

Jess wrote: ‘Sadly my dad Colin passed away late last night after a year with terminal lung cancer and other complications.

‘My dad was a fighter and held on so long. I’ll take that fighting spirit in to my future! 

‘I was able to hold his hand until the very end and that meant the world to me. Rest in peace Papa. I love you very much ❤️❤️.’
