Denise Drysdale, affectionately known as Ding Dong, is an Australian Entertainment icon. The two time Gold Logie winner has been performing since she was a young girl, and shares a deep love with her audiences, in fact Denise says she ‘gets more back than she gives’. 

While Denise continues to entertain us on both stage and TV she also happens to be Jess’s best friend, which means this episode gives you a rare inside peek into who Denise is when she’s not performing. When these besties are not making each other laugh, Jess digs a little deeper into her relationship with her body, where her shyness comes from, and how she really feels about her famous nickname Ding Dong. 

Denise also opens up about the private and crippling pain she suffered with Trigeminal Neuralgia, and the brain surgery that changed her life.
