“Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has been expressing her passion for fashion since her recent weight loss. ”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The radio queen headed out of Australian Fashion Week on Monday and was living it up with her best mate Pip Edwards.
The two women posed up a storm for a series of selfies as they attended the Carla Zampatti showcase.
Jackie showed off her trimmed down figure in a sleek black blazer and a matching maxi skirt.
Underneath, she had on a sheer bustier for a flirty touch and added a pair of heels in the same dark tone.
The 50-year-old opted for a clean makeup look with a peachy blush and coral nude lipstick while wearing her blonde locks in soft waves.
Pip meanwhile was also flaunting her fit figure in a backless halter top that showed off lots of skin.
The 45-year-old added a pair of black jeans and a designer belt while carrying a black and white fur jacket.
The designer wore her hair in beachy waves and chose a bronzed makeup palette with a nude lipstick.
Jackie also had her teenager daughter Kitty in tow, with the 14-year-old cutting a chic figure in a black mini fur dress and grey blazer.
The star, who has shed a whopping 18kg in the space of less than a year, previously opened up about her negative relationship with food and struggle with binge-eating, revealing the insane amount she’d consume each day.
In her tell all memoir, The Whole Truth, the radio star revealed she has always had issues surrounding food and tried every diet like the lemon detox and keto.
But in the times she wasn’t dieting, Jackie says she was ‘binge-eating all weekend’, insisting her healthy habits will ‘start on Monday’.
‘I’ve never had a clinical eating disorder, but I have always had a very unhealthy relationship with the way I view eating,’ she writes.
Jackie says during her childhood, she would set her alarm for 5am each morning and make toast with white bread lathered with ‘peanut butter and butter (double the butter!), or butter and cinnamon sugar’.
During her marriage to now ex-husband Lee Henderson, Jackie’s diet once consisted of ‘hamburgers, hot chips and pizza’.
One night she consumed a whole jar of Nutella and a glass of champagne for dinner.
She highlights the ‘vulnerable’ moment’s Lee would point out her weight gain and how they have stuck with her to this day.
‘I remember getting changed in the walk-in wardrobe, standing there naked and vulnerable, and Lee walked past and I caught him looking at me in the mirror with an expression of disdain or disgust.
‘I’ll never forget that look. Sometimes he would wrap an arm around me and grab a spare tyre.
”Look at that!” he’d say as a joke, but I wondered if it really was.’
It got to the point where Lee suggested she undergo a full body scan ‘because he thought I was obese’.
‘I went and got one… and I wasn’t obese,’ she continues. ‘I was overweight, though. Probably just eating my feelings, and my palette wasn’t discerning.’
Later on in her memoir, Jackie explained her recent weight loss came down to strict diet and exercise after overcoming her addiction battle with drugs and alcohol.
‘Naturally, after three years of sitting on a lounge consuming copious amounts of fast food, alcohol and sedatives that slow down the metabolism, the body will go into shock and shed the kilos when that stops,’ she writes.
‘Rumours circled that I was taking Ozempic — because surely I must be on the weight loss wonder drug to have had a transformation so dramatic.’
