But she is best known from her role in Netflix drama The End Of The F***ing World, which has garnered her cult fame and 2.1 million Instagram followers.

The British dark comedy follows James (Alex Lawther), a 17-year-old psychopath, and Alyssa (played by Jessica), his rebellious best friend.

The show ran for two seasons with the actress taking a starring role in both of the seasons.  

Jessica told the Herald Sun back in July 2019 that she is still pinching herself that she has become as successful actress. 

‘I’m filming a movie in LA and was doing a scene with Marcia Gay Harden and Michael McKean the other day and I was like “Wait, how did this even happen?”‘ the actress marveled at the time.

‘I’m filming in Hollywood right now and I feel that it’s so random that this happened to me,’ she added.

However, the star said she is making sure she keeps her ego in check as her star  continues to rise.   

‘I’m really grateful for the opportunities I get. But I do spend a lot of time thinking about how lucky I am so I don’t become complacent about it.’
