The 29-year-old appeared on This Morning to tease details about the upcoming The Only Way Is Essex Christmas special.

She and Ricky, 24, recently called time on their relationship, after it was reported he had been 'sexting' other girls.

But Jess isn't holding a grudge. She said: "We bumped into each other filming and we did a scene catching up.

"I'm the sort of person when you break up with someone I don't like the bitterness. I wanted to clear the air with him."

Mark Wright's sister admitted that she's surprised at how well she's doing following the split but said that he family are a help.

She continued: "I'm fine. I've been alone at Christmas a few times but I have a big family. I've surprised myself with how happy I am."

The Only Way Is Essexmas will see some of the gang travel to France but Jess was unable to join them.

"It's always good filming the Christmas special," she said. "I was supposed to go to France but I wasn't well – I had viral flu."

The festive special will see the return of Gemma Collins, following her time in the I'm a Celebrity jungle.

Catch The Only Way Is Essexmas on Wednesday at 10pm on ITVBe.
