Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admits she hated wearing swimsuits in her twenties because of body insecurities

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson confesses she used to avoid wearing swimsuits because of her severe body insecurities

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson made the painful admission on Monday she previously hated wearing swimsuits due to her body insecurities.

The radio queen, 48, confessed she has long struggled with body image issues and it wasn’t until recently she came to accept herself.

‘When I was in my 20s and 30s, I used to be so hard on myself. I never wanted to be seen in swimmers,’ she told Woman’s Day.

She added: ‘But now, who cares? Just live your life. I feel a lot more confident than I ever have and I’m learning to love my body.’

The blonde beauty said a combination of undergoing a strict WW program, formerly known as Weight Watchers, and becoming a mother helped change her outlook.

‘You want to be a good role model for your kids and you don’t ever want them to see you analysing your own flaws because that’s not healthy.’

Last month Jackie returned to KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show looking better than ever, after leaving in November to focus on her physical and mental health.

Jackie told listeners why she decided to sign up to WW for the second time after regaining the weight she lost when she followed the program the first time.

‘They probably think “f**king hell, she is the worst ambassador ever”,’ she joked. 

'When I was in my 20s and 30s, I used to be so hard on myself. I never wanted to be seen in swimmers,' she said

Jackie also revealed her weight loss on New Year’s Day when she shared two pictures of herself in a red swimsuit while enjoying a holiday in Fiji with her daughter Kitty, 12.

She then encouraged her fans to join WW – a weight loss program she’s an ambassador for – if they want to shed some unwanted kilos and feel healthier. 

‘If one of your goals is to lose weight, feel healthier and more confident this year then join me on the Program,’ she said.
