Jo Wood is finding it hard to meet a man, because she is worried about gold diggers.

The 65-year-old model - who split from Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood in 2008 - admitted she worries that men are only after her money and it is proving difficult for her to trust potential new loves.

According to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, she said: "A man has to have a lot of confidence. It’s a hard thing for me as men think, ‘Oh here’s a bird with money - I don’t have to bother.’ But any money that’s left over when I’m gone goes to my kids. I’ve also had guys say that I’ve set the bar too high."

Meanwhile, last year, Jo insisted she was not in any rush to find a new man after her split from businessman Carl Douglas.

She told HELLO! magazine: "I don't have time, there's too much going on. Maybe when everything is back to normal, perhaps I'll think about it again.

"Until then, I'm happy as I am. Living here [in Northamptonshire] and looking out at the trees and nature is good for my mind and soul. Everyone needs a bit of country life."

Following her split from Ronnie, Jo started dating builder Paul Scarborough after he renovated her North London townhouse in 2012, but they split up in 2017.

She then fell for Carl in 2018 after meeting on the Telegraph's dating site, but they ended their romance last year.
