Fergie’s mother has spoken out in defense of her “great” son-in-law, following reports the Transformers star – who married the pop singer last January – has cheated with several women.

Last month, Atlanta stripper Nicole Forrester claimed she was intimate with Josh, 37, after he turned up at the club she worked at while in town shooting a movie. It is a allegation Josh categorically denies. For her part, Terri Jackson is convinced her daughter and son-in-low will survive the “absurd” rumors.

“My daughter’s life is amazing and Josh is a great guy – that story is bullshit as far as I’m concerned,” she told RadarOnline.com. “It was totally ridiculous and absurd and I’m confident their marriage will weather the media storm. But it’s not my place to talk about my daughter’s private life, so, if you need specifics then you will have to ask her questions in person.”
