HEAVILY pregnant Jo O’Meara – struggling financially since her disastrous Celebrity Big Brother appearance – has sold her country home. The singer had put the four-bedroom property in leafy Noaks Hill, Essex, up for auction, but accepted an offer of £560,000. Depressed after last year’s CBB found her caught up in a racism row, former S Club star Jo, 28, retreated to the house to work with rescued horses. Estate agent Duncan Kaye said: “It was on the market for a few months. The owner wanted a quick sale.”
