And it seems Denise returned the favour by inviting Jessica to be her plus one at the TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday.
Posting to Instagram on Monday, Jessica, 53, shared two photos of herself and Denise, 75, posing in their red carpet gowns alongside the caption: ‘What fun being Neesy’s plus one at the Logies!!’
She went on to thank designer labels Romance Was Born, Canturi and Swarovski for providing garments and jewellery for them to wear to TV’s night of nights.
Jessica also confirmed that she was Denise’s guest during an interview with The Kyle And Jackie O Show on Wednesday, telling the hosts: ‘You know what? I was Neesy’s plus one. I wasn’t even invited!’

Denise, who previously expressed her desire to live a ‘nomadic’ lifestyle, sold her property property in Merimbula, New South Wales in 2015 for $870,000 and moved to Queensland so she could be close to her family.
Jessica invited her to stay ‘free of charge’ at the $11 million Vaucluse mansion she shares with her newsreader husband Peter Overton and their two teenage daughters.
Asked how Peter deals with the ‘girls night’ energy whenever Denise stays over, Jessica said ‘he loves it, he’s in heaven’ and that he gets an ‘amazing meal’ when Denise cooks for the family.

For Peter’s birthday, Denise ‘dressed up as a chef’ and made him pizza and other Italian dishes, and even printed out a menu.
‘How lucky am I?’ said Jessica.
Jessica often documents her escapades with Denise whenever she comes to town, having previously uploaded photos of the pair cooking, doing housework and sharing a laugh together in the living room.

Jessica, who quit Studio 10 to become a full-time housewife in 2018, also shared photos of herself dropping Denise at Channel 10 studios for work.
Denise has previously spoken about her dreams of living a possession-free lifestyle, telling A Current Affair in 2014: ‘I’m getting older and I looked around at this stuff that I’ve got and I thought, ‘This is ridiculous, I’ll get rid of it so I can be free and easy like the wind.”
At the time of the interview, Denise had put her Merimbula property on the market despite not having another house to move into.

The Gold Logie winner said it was ‘exciting’ not knowing where she would live next, and revealed she’d only be keeping some sheets, underwear and pyjamas once she was done with the sale.
Unfortunately, her dream of living a breezy lifestyle came crashing down in recent years after she suffered a series of health issues including a knee replacement, detached retina, fractured shoulder, blood clot in the leg and a Staph infection.
In September 2021 she was also diagnosed with a rare and painful facial condition called trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
Denise went public with the condition during a segment on Studio Ten.
In August the following year Denise announced that she was finally on the mend after months of agony..
Speaking to the Daily Mail about the downsides of the nomadic lifestyle, Denise said she is grateful for Jessica’s hospitality.
‘I’m so lucky, because I’ve stayed in lots of hotels and it’s not a nice life.’
