The couple split in 1980 after 10 years of marriage. They had one son, Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones, whi is now 44.

The 66-year-old former model has spoken about her ex-husband several times since entering the house, and accused him of turning their son against her.

“I don’t see him (Duncan) at all,” she said. “He doesn’t like me. But my daughter loves me, so it’s good.”

On the question of why her son chose not to see her, she said: “I guess David told him not to.”
