The television personality, 67, took to the catwalk during London Fashion Week this year for the VIN + OMI show in a a sheer babydoll dress.

Speaking to MailOnline at The Last Heist premiere in London, Jo said: ‘My friends, they do a sustainable fashion show and because I believe in everything they do, they use plastic to make material and stuff like that.

‘And they always ask me, I think they just feel sorry for me. So they ask me again and again. The old bird. Let’s get the old bird back in.’

Jo added: ‘I love to do that. It’s great. I do that because it’s very important to do something that you believe in.’ 

Earlier this year, Jo broke her ankle after she accidentally fell down the stairs at her ex-husband Ronnie Wood’s home in Ireland.

The star joked at the time that she ‘wasn’t drunk’ and slipped because she was carrying her young nephew.

Speaking at the premiere, she said: ‘This Is the first time in heels. Well, sort of heels, yeah, so I’m like woohoo. I had the all clear from the doctor yesterday. The bone has fused. Everything is good.’ 

Career-wise, Jo added she is currently working on a follow-up book to her 2019 effort Stoned.    

She said: ‘I’m working on my next book. I did Stoned in 2019 and now I’ve just started to work on Too Stoned. Yeah, all the pictures and bits and pieces from the past. So it’s good to put them all in one book. 

‘Then, you know, you don’t have to worry and then I can sling all the pictures out. So this is a picture book of all my old photographs that I used to take on tour, and it’s the second one, so…’

Jo said: ‘They always ask me, I think they just feel sorry for me. So they ask me again and again. The old bird. Let’s get the old bird back in’

Asked what it was like looking back at all the photos from years’ past, Jo said: ‘It was hard… it was hard the first time. But this time it’s not so hard because, you know, I love looking at the pictures of the kids when they were little.’

‘It’s like my history and, you know, it was great to sort of look at it and the other thing that was really hard is so many people have died. Pull out another picture, “Ohh, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead.” It’s true. It’s quite frightening.’

Jo also spoke about the death of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who she described as ‘wonderful’.

She said: ‘I love Charlie. He was just wonderful. Such a shame. I can’t believe I’m never gonna see him again. That’s life, isn’t it? I see him… I’ll see him in the next.’
