Jason admits he felt ‘crushed’ when Kylie called him to tell him their relationship was ‘over’, before being pictured with Michael, who sadly died in 1997, weeks later.

Speaking to The Mirror about the break-up, he revealed: “It was an extremely painful parting of the ways and, without doubt, I took a long time to recover from it. Years, definitely.

“It was bad enough that she’d run off with anybody, but she happened to run into the arms of the greatest rock god of the period, the very guy who I secretly wanted to be.

“That was a pretty big punch to take.”

Jason added that although he’s ‘bumped into Kylie quite a few times’ since, they haven’t ever spoken about the break-up.

He explained: “We’re not close enough to get into that.”
