She used to live the rock and roll lifestyle while married to Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones. 

However, now the star has left the wild nights of partying behind for an eco-friendly countryside cottage.

The 68-year-old TV personality moved to the old farmhouse in 2019 and has embraced 'off-grid' living, generating her own electricity and nurturing her own vegetable patch.

Aside from WiFi, she more or less lives self-sufficiently and has traded in her days of drinking and joints for homegrown veg and is even creating a capsule supplement called Longevity to boost her health.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Jo admitted that she didn't have an addictive personality which made it easier for her to walk away from the party lifestyle after it suddenly dawned on her one day that way of living wasn't what she wanted.

She explained: 'I could drink all night, suffer the next day and not touch a drop for a few days. I never had a problem with it. I used to smoke a joint every evening and then one day I thought "No, I don't want this any more" and stopped. I'm lucky like that.'

Jo was married to Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie for 24 years between 1985-2011 and the two share children Leah, 44, and Ty­­­rone, 39.

Jo is also mum to another son, Jamie, 48, from her first marriage to clothing entrepreneur Peter Greene.

After ditching her unhealthy lifestyle, Jo converted to organic food in 1991 after she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, this was later revealed to be a misdiagnosis and she actually had a perforated appendix. 

'I laid in hospital and said to myself "from now on, I will be an organic girl",' Jo explained. 

Her obsession with organics led to her interest in plastics and chemicals in cosmetics which led to her fragrance company Jo Wood Organics. 

The star got Ronnie on a healthy diet, and her son Jamie even joked that he left home because he couldn't stand her being so health conscious anymore. 

She added: 'I'm going to live forever. That's the plan. I certainly want to make sure to live to an old age because I want to see what's going to happen with my grandchildren.'

She remarked she loves her house so much as there are no chemtrails in the sky. 

Her and Jamie are also created their health capsule supplement Longevity, which is a made with a blend of lions mane, turkey tail and reishi mushrooms as well as maca powder, he shou wu and astragalus root and promises to boost all aspects of health. 

Living in the middle of nowhere, Jo also explained that she feels free at home, away from the censoring and cancel culture of the world. 

The star remarked that she is unable to post anything that is even slightly controversial on Instagram as somehow it is blocked. 

Jo also confessed she did not get vaccinated due to her organic beliefs as she doesn't wish to be forced to get something she didn't feel like she needed it. 

The star also has a slight obsession with aliens, and her home contains a selection of alien-themed fittings. 

Showing off her extraterrestrial trinkets and even wallpaper on an episode of Abbey Clancy: Celebrity Homes last October, Jo confessed: 'I am obsessed with all things alien. The alien wallpaper I designed because I love them so much!'

Revealing how her love of aliens came to be, she explained: 'I was in Brazil in this place called Recife with my ex husband [Ronnie Wood].

'He was outside and he said "Jo, Jo get here, there's something weird in the sky! I went outside and thought "what's wrong with him?" and there above the sea was a craft!

'As I watched it it lifted straight up, went to the right and then shot across the sky at a speed that was just... and I just went, "oh my god!"' 

In her spacious living room, Jo removed double doors in order to have a wall large enough to hang her beloved portrait of Marilyn Monroe. 

Revealing the importance behind the painting, Jo explained: 'Marilyn reminds me of my mummy.' 

She also pointed out her 'valuable' yet 'fake' fireplace with no fire as she toured Abbey through her home. 

Discussing her decorating inspiration, Jo explained: 'My style I suppose is very eclectic obviously and things that I think are beautiful.

'All this stuff here, it's me. It's the things that I've got because I love them.'
