When asked by Karl what Kitty thinks of her mother’s profession, Jackie said: ‘She came and said [to me] the other day, “Mummy, I overheard you say this. Is it true?”
‘I don’t let her listen to the show, so she never hears any of this stuff. So I know I’m only two years away before I’ve got some explaining to do.’
Jackie went on to speak about her ‘beautiful relationship’ with Kitty, who she shares with ex-husband Lee Henderson.

Breaking down in tears, she said: ‘I want her to be proud of me, we have such a beautiful relationship. She’s just divine.
‘Talking about her makes me tear up, so you say how does it feel to be the most successful woman in radio, and I don’t think about that really at all.
‘All I think about is her and what I’m proud of. I’m so proud of the person that she is.’

Jackie and photographer Lee announced their split back in 2018, with Jackie speaking about the breakup on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
‘It’s not a decision we took lightly at all,’ she said at the time. ‘Lee and I have been so lucky that our separation has been extremely amicable.
‘It’s not something that happened overnight for us… We wanted to keep that private for as long as we possibly could.

Kitty was born in 2010 after Jackie underwent IVF treatment.
Following the birth, Jackie told New Idea magazine: ‘When I became a mother, it felt like everything fell into place.
‘I have absolutely adored every single day, and I can’t tell you how much it has changed me as well. I have never been calm and comfortable.’
