The 'Torn' singer said that she had discovered a new level of confidence since her split from the Silverchair frontman.
Imbruglia claimed that her newfound freedom inspired her to go on ITV2 daredevil show Jack Osbourne's Celebrity Adrenaline Junkie.
Speaking about her appearance on the programme, she said: "I would put that down to divorce. You're just not scared of anything. It's kind of liberating.
"So they were like, 'Do you want to free dive, do you want to climb a mountain, some real crazy things?' And I was like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah!' - and all my friends thought I was mad!"
The Australian star split from Johns in January 2008 after five years of marriage.
Imbruglia will make her UK live comeback with two gigs in London later this month. She will release her fourth studio album Come To Life in September.
