About two months into her relationship with her husband Lee Henderson, Jackie O knew he was the one.
The couple were down at Paddy’s Market in Sydney and the photographer bent down to grab a handful of herbs for their dinner.
“I think we’d been dating for maybe two months or something and he had his little shopping basket and he picked up a bunch of basil and he smelt the basil and as soon as he did that for some reason I just look at him and thought I’m going to marry that man,” Jackie told her co-host Kyle Sandilands on their KIIS FM show this morning.
“I can’t explain why but it was just a moment where I looked at him and thought yeah, I know.

Jackie chimed in to admit she'd gotten a little carried away.
"I was so competitive Kyle, I looked ridiculous," the 42-year-old said.
But it wasn't just his wife's healthy sense of competition that led to the momentary cold feet, "It was the complete lack of co-ordination," Lee said.
