Jackie ‘O’ Henderson reveals she’s ‘terrified’ of going to Mount Druitt

There’s a reason why you’ll never catch Jackie ‘O’ Henderson driving the streets of western Sydney.

The 45-year-old, who lives in the upmarket eastern suburb of Woollahra, revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show last week that she was ‘terrified’ of going back to Mount Druitt after being ‘abused’ in the street by a group of young women years ago.

Jackie explained that she had angered the local women by wearing a white jumpsuit while driving a sports car.

‘I was in Mount Druitt and god, the women that abused me, the young girls! [They were screaming], “You effing sl*t! Get off the road!”‘

Jackie said she was ‘so terrified’ that she shut her car window and kept staring forward.

‘I wasn’t even game to look at them, I just heard them yelling out at me,’ she added.

The mother of one explained that she had travelled to western Sydney in 2002 to film her short-lived reality show Undercover Angels. 

The Channel Seven program saw Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe play the role of mentor, while his three ‘angels’ – Jackie, Bardot’s Katie Underwood and Simone Kessell – performed good deeds for unsuspecting civilians. 

Undercover Angels lasted for just 11 episodes, and was described by the Sydney Morning Herald at the time as ‘the worst show in the history of the world’. 

‘I was going out to someone’s house in Mount Druitt for the day. They made me wear the white jumpsuit, I was supposed to look a bit like Charlies Angels,’ she said. 

Jackie admitted that the incident taught her a very important lesson about when not to flaunt her wealth.

‘It made me realise, driving a sports car [makes] people hate you. You get so much abuse driving in a sports car,’ she said.
