During her time in Towie, Jessica Wright, 40, attempted to start a music career on the show before she released a number of tracks.
When the cast of the hit ITV2 reality show released their own rendition of ‘Last Christmas‘ for Text Santa, Jess was the lead singer.
In 2012, she entered the charts with her own pop club anthem titled ‘Dance All Night‘.
As the Morning Live roving reporter celebrated her 40th birthday, she threw a boozy bash for her nearest and dearest including brother Mark Wright and his wife Michelle Keegan.
She was served bespoke cocktails, was surprised with a bespoke two-tier birthday cake and had a band perform for her family and close friends.
However, it seems that she may have resurrected her career as The Function Band then invited her onto their own stage to perform her own song.
A video uploaded onto the group’s social media account showed the assembled crowd was in full flow as they loved seeing the star on stage once again.
The video caption read: “Jess Wright performing her own song ‘Dance All Night’ with us at her birthday celebrations.”
And it seems that fans were in complete agreement as they flooded the comments section with praise for the star, asking her to make new tracks.
“This was a banger to be fair,” remarked one fan.
A second proudly stated: “Dance all night went triple platinum in my house.”
While a third wrote: “She had bangers @Jessica Wright [love face emoji] need more.”
As someone else noted: “God this is such a throwback! My ringtone for such a long time.”
And a fifth added: “Ngl this was such a good song.”

Her last TV appearance was in 2021, when she allowed cameras to follow her and husband William Lee Kemp as they prepared for their wedding.
After welcoming son Presley in 2022, Jess has been focusing on both being a mum and her investigations for BBC Morning Live that have been watched by millions.
An insider told us: “Jess is finally back on reality TV after four years away – she’s worked, obviously, but her most important role was being a mum.
“She’s been cooking for her family but has never done a cooking show before so was nervous about signing up.”
Jess competed alongside huge names including former I’m A Celeb star Jordan North, former Dragon’s Den personality Kelly Hoppen and Jack Osbourne.
