The Block's Jess Eva opens up about her incredible 20kg transformation

Former The Block star and host of Studio 10, Jess Eva, has opened up about her transformation after it was reported she spent $50,000 on her makeover.

The 39-year-old, who also appeared on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, opened up to the Daily Mail about dropping 20kg, saying her time on Channel Nine show, The Block, in 2018 left her depressed.

“I was so depressed and I was so fat that I would order a large pizza from Domino's, and it was a four-minute car ride from Domino's to my house, and I couldn't even wait - I'd finish the pizza before I got home,” she said.

“That's how desperate I was to find some kind of happiness.”

Jess told the publication that her weight loss journey started in 2019 when she partnered up with meal delivery service Lite N Easy. She weighed 95kg at the time and lost 10kg through a healthy diet, bike rides with the children, and cutting out ‘emotional eating’. She has since gone on to drop another 10kg.

She said she's stopped treating her local takeaways like 'having a coffee at the end of the day' and now 'feels healthier'.

Last month, it was reported that Jess had spent a whopping $50,000 on making sure she’s always camera-ready, including a reported $40,000 on upper and lower porcelain veneers. However, Jess put those rumours to rest.

“I don't have $50,000 and if I did I'd get my boobs done!” she said.

Jess burst into the spotlight in 2018 after appearing on the hit reality show The Block with her husband, Norm Hogan.

They walked away with $209,000 despite finishing last out of the final four teams.

Since then, Jess’ media career has gone from strength to strength, appearing on reality shows, hosting breakfast TV and presenting on Triple M’s breakfast line-up.

In 2022, Norm revealed that he was stepping away from the limelight to focus on his mental health.
