Jackie O Henderson makes raw confession about ‘hitting rock bottom’

Jackie O Henderson has opened up about a difficult period in her life following her divorce from husband Lee after 18 years and the ongoing Covid lockdowns.

That’s what the radio presenter, 49, said this week Stellar magazine that the past few years have been challenging but that she now feels ‘fitter, healthier and mentally stronger’.

“I can’t believe how good I feel this year. I’ve had some kind of crazy breakthrough in my life. But I feel like I hit rock bottom getting to this point,” she said.

Jackie O explained that her divorce from husband of 18 years, photographer Lee, was one of the low points of her life.

“Everything about who I usually am was taken away from me. Now it’s back,’ she said.

“You ask anyone going through that and especially when you have kids, it gets even harder,” she explained.

“The guilt you feel and everything associated with it is very hard to get through.”

It comes after Jackie recently wowed her fans with her makeover after she lost almost 20 kg.

The star shared her day on a board last month.

She revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she regularly skips breakfast, a practice known as intermittent fasting.

She also avoids carbs and satisfies her hunger throughout the day by snacking on pre-cut pieces of steak.

“I cook steak and slice it, and then I just have a little piece of steak when I’m hungry,” she told her co-host Kyle Sandilands.

Jackie, who is an ambassador for the WW weight loss program, resists splurging on high-calorie foods for lunch, opting to eat just “three small pieces of steak” and a few Vietnamese rice paper rolls with fish and cabbage.

Kyle was shocked by her small portion size and told her, “A dog would eat more!”

For dinner, Jackie usually eats vegetables and a protein such as chicken or red meat.

Between meals, Jackie treats herself to smoothies and Starbucks Frappuccinos, a kind of blended iced coffee drink.
