Early life
In 1983, when Smith was only 13 years old, a relationship began between her and 47-year-old Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman.[1][2] In a 2010 interview with the Daily Mail, Smith claimed to have started a sexual relationship with Wyman at just 14.[3] Smith married Wyman in 1989; they divorced in 1991.[4]
Music career
In 1986, Smith was to be interviewed on TV's Saturday Live until RTÉ decided she should be downgraded to being a mere member of the audience. She was axed entirely when her manager disagreed, with RTÉ saying she was "not important enough" and that she might "give a bad example to young teenage girls". The story appeared in the international media.[5]
Personal life
On 19 June 1993, she married footballer Pat Van Den Hauwe, but this only lasted two years.[6] She published her biography It's All Over Now in 1993.[7] In 2001, she was briefly engaged to Vanity Fair fashion model Ian Mosby with whom she had a son, Max Harrison Mosby. Smith is currently a resident of Manchester where she has now become a teetotaller and vegan.[8] Smith was raised as a Catholic and, in recent years, has returned to the church.[9]
Other interests
Having tried a career as a make-up artist, Smith was reported in 2009 to be training to be a counsellor.[6] In the 1990s, Smith wrote a beauty/fashion column for a magazine; since 2012 she has written an advice column for a Christian lifestyle magazine. Smith has also set up her own business together with her sister Nicola, a marketing company named Kiss PR.[10]
