BIG Brother bully Jo O’Meara was on suicide watch last night amid fears she is starving herself to death.

The former S Club babe, who claims the show’s race row wrecked her life, is refusing to eat and is being pumped full of prescription drugs.

Family members claim she is having a nervous breakdown because her stint on the Channel 4 show has ruined her life and they are keeping a suicide watch on her.

A pal said: “Jo’s got everyone worried because she’s stopped eating. She doesn’t go outside as she thinks everyone hates her.

“And because she’s talked about suicide, she can’t be left alone.”

The 27-year-old star became a hate target after fans accused her of making racist jibes against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, 31.

Viewers were stunned when she claimed all Indians were thin because they undercooked their food and ate with their hands.

They were also horrified how she just laughed when the actress was abused by Jade Goody, 25.

After her eviction, where Jo was booed by the crowds, she caused more outrage by refusing to say sorry. Within hours she discovered she had become one of the most hated people in the UK.

She has also been quizzed by police after complaints from viewers that she and others allegedly made racist comments.

Her depression was worsened by the death of her agent Tony Fox, who died of a heart attack two days after her eviction.

She fears the stress that her stint on the show put him under may have led to the cardiac arrest. Jo has now checked into a secret hotel because she is too terrified to go back to her Essex home.

Medics have advised her family that someone should stay with her all the time.

The pal added: “She’s very, very fragile. She’s having a breakdown.

“She’s still very tearful and is shaking and rocking a lot. We are in contact with Jo’s doctors on a daily basis.

“They felt they had no choice but to increase her pills.

“If it helps her get through the day a bit easier then that’s a good thing. But to make matters worse she’s stopped eating.

“There are some days she doesn’t even get up and get dressed.

“The doctors have said it’s the worst case they’ve ever seen of someone so badly affected by their appearance on a TV show.”

The pal said: “Our main priority is getting Jo back to a condition where she feels she can go home.

“The irony is that she said she wanted to do Big Brother because she thought it looked fun and she would get enough money to stop her home being repossessed.

“But it’s turned out to be the worst decision of her life.”

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said last night: “Housemates’ welfare is our first priority.

“A robust aftercare system is in place to ensure all housemates are fully supported and advised after they leave the show.”
