Jodie's break-up sparked her to light up

Jodie said: "I've started smoking again. I stopped when I met him but then we broke up and I started again."    

The couple split two months ago and Jodie has since been linked with England cricket star Simon Jones.     

However she has denied that they are an item. "That was just a silly rumour," she said.     

She says there is someone special but refuses to reveal their identity.
