From The Star:

JO O’Meara is to pen an explosive book lifting the lid on the Celebrity Big Brother race row.

The singer, who has been suicidal after becoming a hate target, is being chased by publishers for the warts-and-all story.

And Jo, 27, could net a whopping £250,000 deal to help her clear her mounting debts and stop her home being repossessed.

A close pal said: “Jo wants to move on with her life and she feels the only way she can put this nightmare behind her is by telling all.

“So she’s got herself a literary agent and she plans a full and frank account of life inside the house and how badly she’s been treated since she came out.”

The former S Club star plans to tell all about her friendships with Danielle Lloyd, 23, and Jade Goody, 25, and why Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty got up their noses.

Jo will claim that housemates like Jade’s mum Jackiey Budden, 48, uttered comments about Shilpa, 31, that were far more offensive than anything she ever said – yet she bore the brunt of abuse from fans.

She will expose how Jade was “tipped off” about the BB race row in hush-hush diary room chats.

And she will reveal how footage of infamous Oxo Cube row was edited to make her nervous laughter look as if she was laughing at Shilpa.

She will also disclose the “Witches of Elstree’s” taunts and jibes against Shilpa were not racist rants but schoolgirl bully antics that they are now deeply ashamed of.

Jo’s book will also give details about the death threats which pushed her to the brink and reveal how she feels abandoned by BB’s producers and thinks they have “washed their hands” of her now that the show is over.

Jo’s pal said: “She thinks a book will be a good form of therapy to get it all out of her system.

“Channel 4 probably won’t like what she has to say. But they used her like a puppet on the show and now she feels it’s time to hit back.”

Jo signed for the Channel 4 show because she was in financial trouble after her solo pop career and her dog breeding business had not taken off in the way she had hoped.
