Triple M has announced that Jess Eva will join Elliott Lovejoy on The Rush Hour QLD Drive show for the remainder of 2024, filling in for Annabelle “A.B” Brett who commences maternity leave from Monday, 29 July. 

Jess is no stranger to Triple M having co-hosted the Sydney Breakfast with MG and Chris Page from 2019 until 2022. She is also a celebrated author, TV presenter, was a contestant on ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!’ in 2021 and won the 2018 series of The Block alongside her husband Norm.

Jess Eva said: “I’m thrilled to be back on Triple M and can’t wait to catch up with Elliott and all The Rush Hour listeners. It’s going to be a lot of fun with my old far North Queensland people again!”

Annabelle ‘A.B’ Brett said: “It’s bittersweet to be taking time off from the best job in the world but I am feeling so excited and supported by my amazing team while I undertake this new journey. I do want to credit SCA for having arguably the best Paid Parental Leave policy of any media company, let alone the country, which gives me ample time to transition into this next stage of my life. 

“Jess is someone I’ve admired for many years and I am honoured to call her a friend and mentor. To have someone of her calibre joining the show while I’m away is a dream come true for the team and for our amazing listeners. I look forward to returning in 2025 following some special time with my family and a Brisbane Broncos and Lions Premiership of course!”

Listen to The Rush Hour with A.B & Elliott with Jess Eva from 4-6pm weekdays on Triple M regional Queensland stations and on LiSTNR.
