But it appears Jackson Palmer didn't need Channel Nine's stylists to make him look more dashing than his 'geeky' exterior on the show, an unearthed photo proves. Last week, his co-star Jessica Antoniou shocked fans after sharing a jaw-dropping image of the 19-year-old - where he looked more like a catalogue model than a self-proclaimed 'awkward' nerd.

Jessica captioned the photo, in a short clip she shared to TikTok. In the footage, Jessica posted a photo of Jackson wearing his trademark goofy hats, glasses and a colourful T-shirt. But seconds later, the clip cut to 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 series. 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.' 'Girl, I called it!' another said, while a third added: 'We all knew!'

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

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.
