‘I just knew I’d seen a UFO. They came round with the paper and it said: “UFO invades Brazilia”, and hundreds of people have seen so I knew I wasn’t going mad.’
Panelist Gloria Hunniford jokingly asked Jo if may have been ‘off her face when she saw it’.
But Jo insisted she was sober, adding that she was packing her children’s clothes because they were leaving the next day.
Speaking of another incident with potential aliens, Jo recalls seeing a ‘green orb’ flying past the window.

She said: We were all over South America, I was about 15 or 16, and we were looking out the window and huge green orb flew round the window.
‘I said: “Mum, mum what’s that?” I said: “God I’ve never seen anything like that in my life!”‘
Mother-of-three Jo recently voiced her regrets over her time with The Rolling Stones and admitted frontman Mick Jagger made her feel ‘uncomfortable’ when she took pictures.

On touring with the iconic rockers, she lamented not taking more snaps while also discussing taking their kids, Leah, 42, and Tyrone, 37, and her son Jamie, 46, from a previous marriage, around the world with the band.
In the podcast, Jo admitted she wished she had taken more pictures of the band after Ronnie bought her a camera, saying: ‘Ronnie bought me my first Polaroid when we moved to LA then he bought me my first camera in the 80s.
‘I actually wish I had taken more pictures, because there were so many times, I wish I had taken more pictures of Mick, but he always made me feel so uncomfortable when I got my camera out…’
Host Jenny, who was in a three-year relationship with Take That star Jason Orange, said: ‘I used to feel like that with Gary Barlow.’

Mother-of-three Jo added: ‘So, I wish I had but mind you, Keith made up for that because, he would pose or anything, he was great, great guy.’
The former model also spoke about taking her children on tour with the band, adding that they ‘learned so much from travelling’
She said: ‘We weren’t allowed to bring the kids on tour, maybe because they were too young, and then in ’89 I missed my kids so much on the first leg of the tour and I said to Ronnie, ‘come on, it’s a kids’ holiday, let’s take the kids to Japan…
‘Then after that all the kids started coming out, only in school holidays, but it was lovely because they learnt so much from travelling around the world, and learning about other cultures and it was great.’
