Friends who mean business

THEY'RE HERE TO HAVE FUN BUT THERE'S A SERIOUS SIDE TO THEIR AMBITIONS TOO

-  Naomi Toy

They don’t finish each other’s sentences, they’re a little hazy on favourite movies or books and they’re not entirely sure of who each other’s current celebrity hall pass is. The friendship between media personality Jackie “O” Henderson and her best friend and manager Gemma O’Neill surpassed the superficial stuff long ago. “We are so deep that we haven’t done the light and fluffy stuff for about 20 years, so we need to get up to speed,” laughs O’Neill when WHO jokingly puts their “besties” claim to the test. They would, however, be able to tell you everything about each other’s children, their relationships, their divorces, their dates, their highs and their lows.
