She has been married to TV funny man Jonathan Ross, 56, for 29 years.

But Jane Goldman, 47, who married the presenter aged 18, has revealed she was sexually assaulted by a rock musician at the age of 16.

The screenwriter, whose credits include Kick-Ass, Stardust and Kingsman: The Secret Service, admitted she only realised the severity of the incident by her daughters' reaction.

Brave: Jane Goldman, 47, who married presenter Jonathan Ross aged 18, has revealed she was sexually assaulted by a rock musician at the age of 16

Speaking to The Guardian, she explained: 'I had anecdotes that I thought were funny, about stuff that had happened to me.

But recalling an unpleasant incident when a musician put his hands up her skirt in a taxi queue when she was just 16, she soon got a much-needed wake up call.

'My daughters responded by saying, 'You mean you were sexually assaulted?' And I thought, 'Hang on, I should be as outraged as [my daughters] are'.

Wake up call: The screenwriter, whose credits include Stardust and Kingsman: The Secret Service, admitted she only realised the severity of the incident by her daughters' reaction

Revealing her change of heart, she added: 'In a society where a 16-year-old getting groped by a dude, while she's waiting for a taxi, is considered a funny anecdote, I'm contributing by telling it like that.'

Jonathan and Jane are parents to daughters - Honey, 20, and Betty, 26 - as well as a son called Harvey, 23.

In 2016 the TV star previously revealed he would love to have more children, but thought it was more sensible to wait until his kids give him grandchildren.

'I miss having little children around. But then we think we enjoyed the experience so much the last time, what if it wasn’t the same?

'And at the same time, if and when they decide to have children of their own, I want to make sure we are free to help them.

'So I might wait for the grandchildren', he explained in an interview with the Sunday Mirror.

'My daughters responded by saying, 'You mean you were sexually assaulted?' And I thought, 'Hang on, I should be as outraged as [my daughters] are', she admitted
