Singer Jody Williams admits 'Idols' ruined her life
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Former 'Idols' winner Jody Williams has admitted that the show saw her life take a very different journey to the one she had planned.
Jody Williams was one of the youngest 'Idols' winners in South Africa, but things did not turn out the way she planned.
After her win in 2007, it caused a massive rift in her family. People who managed her career at the time also ripped her off big time, she said.

Shortly after her win, she bought her parents a very expensive house in Durbanville.
Gigs were not coming in and Williams struggled financially.
"I wish that we only had a life coach and financial advisor back when I won Idols, I think things would have been so much different," Williams told The Daily Voice.
Williams is now a receptionist and is happy with her life.
Can you still remember former 'Idols' winners and where they are now?
