The light-hearted event was no doubt a welcome break for Jessica, who was recently involved in a terrifying car explosion. 

Last month, the television star was picking up her eldest daughter Allegra, 14, from school in Sydney’s eastern suburbs when her $66,000 black Volvo XC 60 began billowing smoke on New South Head Road in Rose Bay.  

A passing school bus driver named Mev flagged them down to alert them of the danger and helped the pair escape from the vehicle and flee to safety just as the car burst into flames. 

The pair escaped uninjured but were traumatised by the ordeal.

Jessica later assured fans she and Allegra were doing fine at home, and thanked Mev and all the others who helped them.
