Jessica, who is in living in Brisbane, admitted it could be quite a wait until she is finally reunited with her LA-based love.

‘Even though we are engaged, we won’t be able to see each other until the borders are open again because of the government restrictions,’ she explained.

‘But we are doing amazing and I’ve got the family through all of this,’ she added.

‘When desire sits on the tip of your tongue and you don’t know if you should share your feelings and risk it all, or hold it in and risk never knowing,’ they added. 

‘I think we would always feel it was a tragedy to love someone and to allow fear of their reaction stop us from knowing if they might feel the same. So writing this was like a confession pouring out.’  

Human will be the first studio album to be released by the pop group in seven years. 

Biting My Tongue is out now.
