Hit a raw nerve? Jackie ‘O’ Henderson gets upset when colleague asks for details about the breakdown of her first marriage to ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil: ‘How dare you?’
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson was less than impressed when KIIS FM news anchor Brooklyn Ross asked her about her failed marriage to ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil on Thursday.
The 49-year-old shared details about her first marriage on The Kyle and Jackie O Show when Brooklyn asked her who ended the union.
“When I married Ugly Phil, he was a big radio star and I was working 9 to 5 at a real estate agency,” Jackie explained.
Brooklyn then asked, “I know this is old history, but did you leave him or did he leave you?”
“How dare you Brooklyn. My only friend,” a shocked Jackie responded.

Phil and Jackie previously worked together as co-hosts of the Hot30 Countdown in the 1990s.
They met when an 18-year-old Jackie called the radio show that Phil was hosting at the time to enter a competition, and just a year later they married.
Their split in 1999 led to their radio show ending and Phil returning to the UK.
Jackie went on to marry Lee Henderson, with whom she shares daughter Kitty, 12.
The Hendersons separated in 2018 after fifteen years of marriage.
Jackie has not been in a relationship with anyone since the split, but British photographer Lee has moved on with jujitsu instructor Gabriella Motta.

The single mum previously choked back tears on the Jess Rowe Big Talk Show as she admitted what she missed most about her ‘old life’ was going out to dinner with someone every night.
‘I would love to sit down and have dinner with someone. That’s what I long for and that’s what I miss most about my old life,” she said.
‘It’s funny what we’re missing. It can be the littlest things, you know, and for me it’s spending time with the family at the dinner table; that used to be my favorite part of the day.
“So I don’t have that right now and I think I’ll get that back, but like I said, I want to wait a little bit longer, you know. And then maybe later I’ll fall in love. That would be nice.’
