Jessica Marais’ risque new role

Jessica Marais' risque new role

Jessica Marais has a risque new role that would shock her Aussie fans.

She made a name playing wholesome Rachel Rafter on family TV favourite Packed To The Rafters. But in her new show, Jessica Marais looks anything but innocent, as these racy photos show.

The new mum, who had her first child, Scout, in May with fellow Rafters star James Stewart, stars in the Foxtel drama Magic City. And her new role has pulses racing with its saucy story-lines and full-frontal nudity! Jess plays mobster’s wife Lily Diamond in the drama, set in Miami during the 1950s – and in just about every episode, the 27-year-old actress strips down to her smalls (and yes, often even less!).

But Jess seems unconcerned that stills from the show are now all over the internet. “One of the reasons I did Magic City right off the back of Packed To The Rafters [was] to shake up the image of the girl next door,” she recently told The Kyle And Jackie O Show.

And boy has she succeeded! Jess was in the very early stages of her pregnancy during filming, but soldiered on with her sexy role – even when she had to film her first nude scene on her very first day on set!
