    The former girlfriend that exposed sick rock pervert Ian Watkins has revealed she is shocked it took lags so long to attack him.

    But Jo was dismissive of his health, telling Daily Mirror: “My only reaction is simply that I cannot believe it took them so long, particularly in Wakefield Prison.”

    Jo had an on-off relationship with Watkins from 2006 after the rocker sought her out on MySpace and confessed his dark sexual fantasies.

    She tried to warn the authorities about his lust for young children for four years but was repeatedly ignored.

    He was only finally arrested when police raided his Pontypridd home using a drug warrant in September 2012.
