Jo Whiley has opened up about the late Steve Wright's behind-the-scenes kindness, which only came to light following the Radio 2 star's passing. Whiley had always felt she shared a unique bond with her colleague and friend, the broadcasting icon who died at the age of 69 in February.
At 58, Jo views her age as a badge of honour, stating: "There is no shame in being older that should be celebrated. You've got a fair amount of wisdom. There are so many amazing women who are my age and older in the music industry, such as Patti Smith and Courtney Love.", reports the Mirror. Jo credits her fashion sense and learning from her idols for boosting her self-assurance. The mother-of-two reveals: "I have learned an awful lot from people who work in fashion, stylists who have helped me along the way. I take all the advice and learn. Now I put on the clothes, and it's like armour. You become somebody and that gives you the confidence to walk out there."
