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 split from husband Lee after 18 years and the ongoing Covid lockdowns.

The radio host, 49, told this week’s Stellar magazine that the past few years were a challenge but she now feels ‘fitter, healthier and mentally stronger’.

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

Jackie O explained her divorce from her husband of 18 years, photographer Lee, was one of the lowest periods of her life.

‘Everything about who I usually am had been taken away. Now, it’s back,’ she said.

‘You ask anyone who’s going through that and, especially when you have children, it makes it even harder,’ she explained. 

‘The guilt you feel and everything associated with that is very difficult to get through.’

It comes after Jackie recently stunned her fans with her makeover after dropping almost 20kg.

The star shared her day on a plate last month. 

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

She also avoids carbohydrates, and satiates her hunger throughout the day by snacking on pre-cut pieces of steak.

‘I cook steak and slice it, and then I’ll just have a little sliver of steak if I’m hungry,’ she told her co-host Kyle Sandilands.

Jackie, who is an ambassador for weight loss program WW, resists splurging on high-calorie foods for lunch, opting to eat just ‘three little slivers of steak’ and a few Vietnamese rice paper rolls containing fish and cabbage.

Kyle was shocked by her small portion size, telling her: ‘A dog would eat more!’

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

In between meals, Jackie treats herself to smoothies and Starbucks Frappuccinos, a type of blended ice coffee drink.
