Reality TV star Jess Wright has candidly spoken about the challenges of being constantly compared to her brother, former The Only Way Is Essex star and TV presenter Mark Wright.
In a heartfelt interview, Jess admitted feeling the weight of expectations as her brother's career soared in the entertainment industry. "It's tough when people constantly measure you against someone else's success," she shared.
Breaking Free from Comparisons
The 37-year-old, who rose to fame on ITV's TOWIE, explained how she's learned to focus on her own journey rather than external expectations. "I've had to remind myself that we're different people with different paths," Jess revealed.
Despite the pressure, Jess has built an impressive career of her own, including fashion ventures and television appearances. She recently showcased her talents on Dancing on Ice, proving she's more than just "Mark Wright's sister."
A Supportive Sibling Relationship
Jess was quick to clarify that there's no sibling rivalry between them. "Mark has always been my biggest supporter," she said. "We cheer each other on, but that doesn't mean the comparisons don't hurt sometimes."
The Essex native also opened up about how social media amplifies these comparisons, with fans frequently commenting on their respective careers. "You learn to develop a thick skin in this industry," she added philosophically.
As Jess continues to forge her own identity in showbusiness, she remains determined to succeed on her own terms while maintaining the close family bonds that have supported her throughout her career.
