return json value as char/text instead of json

I'm using Concat of some annotated json fields (from .values("data__somefield", "data__someotherfield")

The values are being returned as json, so the concatenation ends up with a hot mess of double quotes:

"somevalue" "someothervalue"

 

I can see in the query that Django is using the "->" operator to retrieve the value from the json which explains the double quotes.

Is there a way to encourage Django to retrieve as text (ie with the "->>" operator) - to prevent the double quotations?

Thanks
