A mum-of-two, who often gets mistaken as decades younger than she really is and gets asked for ID when buying booze, has revealed her real age.
The former model has claimed that her ‘youthful’ looks mean that people sometimes mistake her for someone decades younger. Wouldn’t that be nice, eh?!
Jessica Jerrad even said she still gets asked for ID in some shops when purchasing wine.

And she claims that the secret to her ‘fresh-faced’ look lies purely in the hands of a face cream that makes your skin ‘look like glass’.

Though she used to regularly inject lip filler, Jessica says her skin has improved since she stopped, and ironically believes it makes her look younger.
Despite making every effort to keep herself looking youthful, the cyber security worker from Leeds has said it can be off putting when she has men as young as 25 hit on her - and there is pressure to ‘keep it up’.

The mum-of-two says that people are often ‘freaked out’ when she reveals her real age - even her current partner, who is seven years younger, couldn’t wrap his head around it.
She said: “I've been putting more of my investment in skin care in facials and that's been great - It is something that I want to maintain.

“I used to really be into tanning when I was younger and I was always told how bad they were but in the past five years, I've noticed the texture of my skin not looking as good as it used to.

“I've tried loads of things, facials, micro-needling. But the thing that I do now is Tretinoin prescription cream after sending in my photos to a dermatologist.
“It's a cream that gets rid of pores. My friend did it and her skin is literally like glass. It's made a huge difference so far in just four months.”
The former model is actually 40-years-old, but says people are convinced she is 10 or 15 years younger.

She continued: “If I'm at Tesco buying some wine or a vape I sometimes get ID'd. I've had it in the last five years - it is nice when you do.
"25 was the youngest I've had someone hit on me - that was a little too young! I was around 37 at the time and I think they liked the fact I was older but I thought it was just wrong.
"I don't feel 40 at all. When I was younger I thought 40 was really old. It does feel good but also it's a pressure to keep it up!"
She's truly aged like a fine wine!
