Who is Jo O’Meara?
Born April 29, 1979, Joanne Valda O’Meara is an English singer-songwriter and television personality.
The star shot to fame in 1999 with the pop band S Club 7, alongside Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Rachel Stevens and Hannah Spearritt.
The group released their first single, Bring It All Back, in 1999 with the song going straight to Number 1. They went on to have four UK No1 singles and a UK No1 album.

Jo became the fourth housemate to be evicted while Bollywood actress Shilpa went on to win the series.
In November 2008, Jo suffered a head wound after a man threw a bottle at her during a club performance in an attack thought to be motivated by her CBB appearance.
