Jackie ‘O’ Henderson wasn’t too 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 was sharing details about her first marriage on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, when Brooklyn asked her who ended the union.
“When I was married to 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 ancient history, but did you leave him or did he leave you?’
‘How dare you Brooklyn? My only friend,” Jackie responded in surprise.

Phil and Jackie previously worked together as co-hosts of Hot30 Countdown in the 1990s.
They met when 18-year-old Jackie called into the radio show Phil was hosting at the time to enter a competition, and they married just a year later.
Their split in 1999 led to the end of their radio show and Phil’s return to the UK.
Jackie married Lee Henderson, with whom she shares her 12-year-old daughter, Kitty.
The Hendersons separated in 2018 after 15 years of marriage.
Jackie hasn’t publicly dated anyone since their split, but British photographer Lee moved on with jujitsu instructor Gabriella Motta.

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