Jealousy in relationships is normal—side-eyeing a flirty waitress, snooping on a liked Instagram pic… we’ve all been there. But Debbi Wood? She cranked it up to 11. Dubbed the “most jealous woman in the world,” Debbi reportedly makes her husband, Steve, take a lie detector test when he gets home. Oh, and she also banned him from watching women on TV.
Yes, you read that right. No actresses, no music videos, not even a casual glance at a shampoo commercial. If there was a woman on screen, Steve had to look away—or face the wrath of Debbi.
The couple made headlines in 2015 when they appeared on This Morning to discuss their… unique romance. “When you’ve got a good man, you’re not going to let him go, are ya?” Debbi, then 44, declared. When asked if she might be scaring Steve away, she scoffed. Steve, then 32, agreed: “If I was going to leave, I’d have done it by now.” (A statement that sounds suspiciously like someone who’s just passed a lie detector test.)
While Steve once had to take polygraphs daily, things have “chilled out” to just the occasional grilling—what progress! As for the TV restrictions, Steve doesn’t seem too bothered, claiming he’s more of a sports guy anyway.
Debbi later revealed she suffers from Othello syndrome, a condition that causes extreme jealousy and irrational fears of infidelity. But hey, with some treatment and maybe a remote control with a woman-free setting, things might just work out for these two.
Would you survive Debbi’s relationship rules? Let us know—after passing a polygraph, of course.
