Jessie has three children with her partner, comedian Alfie Brown: seven-year-old Donnie, four-year-old Margot and 14-month-old Tenn.
The couple originally named their youngest son Abraham "Bam" Benjamin but announced shortly after that they had changed his name to Tenn. Last January, he tested positive for the illness when he was just three months old. He was treated for the virus in hospital and was brought home to the family soon after.
