Jo Wood Fears Getting Fat

Jo Wood is terrified she's going to get fat following her split from husband Ronnie Wood.

The former model - who was married to the rocker for 23 years when he left her for a 20-year-old Russian waitress last summer - has turned to food as she comes to terms with the breakdown of her marriage.

But I don't plan to cut back on lunch with friends or afternoon tea with former colleagues

Jo - who used to act as Ronnie's personal assistant and tour manager - said: "I am finding, I will admit, this skirt is rather tight, because another truth about the effect of not having a job is that I'm perilously close to my kitchen. It's too easy to self-medicate with comfort cuisine, so my body shape maintenance has come in for a bit of a battering."

Although the mother-of-three is worried about piling on the pounds, she says she won't stop socialising with her friends as it is a very important aspect of her life.

She added to Vogue magazine: "It will be addressed soonish. But I don't plan to cut back on lunch with friends or afternoon tea with former colleagues. Food is a social glue and now that I have more time I genuinely love seeing people and, especially, cooking for them."
