But, 20 years on from launching the show the childcare expert has shared how a parent 'grabbed by the throat and pinned her against the wall' when he didn't like something she said. Appearing on the Parenting Tools Podcast, Jo explained to hosts Jason Heron and Jordan Piano that she had been attacked while filming an episode filmed in Florida in 2007 for the US version of the show.

The television personality was visiting the Nitti family in West Melbourne, Florida, where she met Lisa, 28, her four sons, Darren, 10, Matthew, eight, Devin, six and Jared, five, as well as her boyfriend of two years, John, 44. The mischievous boys were frequently getting into trouble for their unruly and uncontrollable behaviour, despite efforts from Lisa and John - who even dubbed their home 'The Crazy House'.

The episode, which was eighth in the third season, proved difficult for Jo, who battled not only rowdy children, by the 'intimidation and aggression' from their stepfather, John. 'I helped a family called the Nitti family in Florida and there was a gentleman, a man, who was living with his girlfriend at the time and they had four children,' she said.
![['I would say that was pretty crazy for me at that moment. I was used to parents not agreeing, that's fine but not the physicality from the parents.' Jo said]](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/12/11/08/93005135-14178007-image-a-8_1733906794082.jpg)
