Beauty and the Geek’s Jackson Palmer EXPOSED as a ‘secret hottie’

Beauty and the Geek’s Jackson Palmer is EXPOSED as a ‘secret hottie’ as his co-star finds photos of the ‘awkward’ nerd looking like a runway model

He was eliminated from Beauty and the Geek before the highly anticipated makeovers.

But it seems Jackson Palmer didn’t need a team of stylists to transform him from geek to chic, as he was already breaking hearts long before filming the show.

His co-star Jessica Antoniou last week unearthed smouldering photos of the 19-year-old looking more like a catalogue model than a self-proclaimed ‘awkward’ nerd. 

Exposed: Beauty and the Geek’s Jackson Palmer (R) didn’t need a team of stylists to transform him from geek to chic, as his co-star Jessica Antoniou (L) has unearthed smouldering photos of the 19-year-old looking more like a male model than a self-proclaimed ‘awkward’ nerd

‘I had the hot geek?’ Jessica captioned a video on TikTok comparing Jackson on the Channel Nine show to his sultry modelling photos. 

In the footage, Jessica looked over at photo of Jackson on BATG wearing his trademark goofy hats, glasses and a colourful T-shirt.

But seconds later, the clip cut to a black-and-white image of Jackson gazing seductively at the camera – looking worlds away from his geeky on-screen persona.

Fans couldn’t believe the transformation, with one commenting: ‘My friends didn’t believe me when I said he was the hottest geek – now look! I always knew.’

‘Girl, I called it!’ another said, while a third added: ‘We all knew!’

Transformation: Jessica shared a picture of Jackson on the show, wearing his trademark hats, glasses and colourful T-shirt and shirt combo he became known for on the show

Change: But she then shared a smouldering black-and-white image of Jackson, wearing all black and gazing seductively at the camera - looking worlds away from his techie appearance on the reality show

Others questioned the legitimacy of the show, with one commenting: ‘Oh I get it, “beauty and the pretend geek”.’

But Jessica bit back, writing: ‘Who said geeks can’t be good looking too? Jackson is just a lucky geek, that’s all.’

Since his short stint in reality TV, Jackson – who has apparently ‘never kissed a girl’ – appears to have toned down his ‘geeky’ look an opted for a more demure vibe.

Shocked: Fans rushed to the comments section to share their disbelief at the transformation, with one writing: 'My friends didn't believe me when I said he was the hottest geek - now look! I always knew'

Earlier this week, he shared a photo of himself posing by the sea in a white T-shirt, denim jacket and the same smouldering glare as before.

The photo was taken by fellow Beauty and the Geek star James Letheby, who commented: ‘Gosh that’s a great photo. That photogs got some mad skills.’

Jessica and Jackson were the second couple to be sent packing on Beauty and The Geek.

While they failed to find a romantic connection, they are said to have maintained a ‘really good friendship’ away from the series.
