The 31-year-old reality TV star - who rose to fame in ITVBe's 'The Only Way is Essex' before leaving last year after six years on the show - is convinced she is in with the chance of nabbing a major role across the pond after she recently signed to her successful brother Mark Wright's Los Angeles agent John Ferriter.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Jess has always dreamed of making it big in Hollywood - she loves the lifestyle and has always wanted to be on the big screen.

"So she's made the leap and signed up with renowned agent John Ferriter - who not only represents her brother but also looks after the likes of Piers Morgan, Dannii Minogue and The Beach Boys too. She's really hoping that, with all of John's experience, he will be able to help her land a film deal and a few modelling campaigns. LA is what Essex longs to be and Jess is very excited about the future."

And while the star is yet to confirm the news, the announcement comes shortly after the brunette beauty - who also took part in ITV's 'Dance Dance Dance' earlier this year alongside her friend Duane - hinted that she has something "exciting" coming up.

She said at the time: "Something really exciting's coming up and I can't wait to tell you all. It's going to be announced very soon."

However, it was initially thought she had been approached to take part in this year's 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' - and she certainly wasn't against the idea.

And when asked if she would take part in the show, she said: "I'd absolutely do that. I think it'll be a huge challenge for me but I'd love to do it."
