In the 1960s, Joanna had a high-profile romance with photographer Michael Claydon, with whom she had her only child, son Jamie.
Between 1970 and 1971, she was married to ‘Allo ‘Allo! star Jeremy Lloyd.
However, it’s her marriage to Stephen Barlow that has lasted. The couple tied the knot back in 1986 after having met at a friend’s wedding.
Joanna once opened up about their first meeting.
“I felt like I’d had a kind of electric shock; it wasn’t a matter of falling instantly in love, it was the impact of a colossal shock, completely memorable,” she said.
Stephen has also spoken of first encountering Joanna, saying: “Jo looked amazing in a turquoise coat. I’d never seen anything so glamorous and statuesque.”
