Jessica Rowe reveals the horrific discovery she made in one of her daughter’s school bags

With the summer holidays coming to an end and school set to resume, Jessica Rowe decided it was time to dust off her daughters’ school bags.

But the 50-year-old former Studio 10 host made a horrific discovery in one of her daughter’s bags on Wednesday.

Sharing a series of photos on Instagram, a disgusted Jessica discovered a lunch box with food that had been sitting in her daughter’s bag since December.  

‘The joy of discovering the lunchbox hasn’t been unpacked since last year!!’ she captioned the post. 

She added: ‘Coupled with a day long search for new lunchboxes for bigger & more “grown up” girls!’

Jessica looked revolted as she held the plastic container up to the camera, with a murky brown liquid visible inside.

‘When you find the lunchbox still in the school bag from last year! What is it???’ she shared on Instagram Stories, referring to the mystery substance inside.

Jessica is a mum to daughters Allegra, 14, and Giselle, 11, with her husband of 17 years, news presenter Peter Overton.

In an interview with 9Honey in April 2019, Jessica spoke about not putting pressure on herself when it comes to parenting.

‘I know I’m a “good enough” mum… I’m good at not taking myself too seriously, and being in the moment with them and doing things that bring all of us joy. And that’s enough for me,’ she said. 

Speaking to Now to Love in April last year, Jessica said her daughters were entering a ‘new phase’ as they get older.

‘I still learn all the time. What I’m discovering, even though your kids might push back against you and act like they don’t need you, they actually need you more than ever,’ she added.
