Don’t let the friendly smile fool you. Tess is a businesswoman. She has her own production company. She says she hates the title “boss,” but she is the boss. She greenlights projects. She negotiates deals. She once fired an agent for being rude to a waiter. Karma.

She also writes books. Not ghostwritten fluff. She wrote a novel called The Boy Next Door. It’s a romantic comedy. It’s actually good. She wrote it on her phone. In bed. During Strictly season. Multitasking queen.
Her Hidden Talent? Sleeping
Here’s the weirdest fact. Tess can fall asleep anywhere. Planes. Cars. Backstage in a noisy studio. She once fell asleep during a costume fitting. The dress was half-on. The stylist just kept pinning. She didn’t wake up. It’s a gift. It’s also the secret to her eternal youth. She naps like a cat.
She claims she can sleep for 12 hours straight. When she’s not working? She’s in pajamas by 7 PM. Glory days. She watches true crime documentaries. She loves the gruesome ones. Then she sleeps like a baby. Contradictory? Absolutely. Endearing? You bet.
