Jo, a prominent figure in the BBC coverage of Glastonbury festival every year, has become “more aware” of her body and what it needs over the years, and is now focusing on strength and flexibility, with Pilates. “I really had to make myself do this because it’s not something I wanted to do.

I'm not a self-help book kind of girl...

“At the moment I'm just really focusing on trying to be stronger and more flexible.”

Cholesterol is something she’s is conscious of too, with age, as an ambassador for Benecol. Her music executive husband Steve Morton discovered he had high cholesterol last year. “He’s completely changed his diet. There's a saying that heart attacks and heart disease are 30 years in the making. It’s about being aware of your diet when you're young, to prevent something happening 30 years down the line.

“I’m not a natural cook at all by any means, but I've definitely stopped having ready meals!”

With a busy career and four - now adult - children (India, Jude, Cassius and Coco), Jo says she needs alone time to recharge. “I really enjoy my own company. Because I talk for a living, I’m on the radio, I interview people, I’m talking a lot, I’m surrounded by music and noise.” Over the years she’s interviewed the likes of David Bowie, George Michael, Amy Winehouse and Madonna.
