Agoraphobic O'Meara

Jo O'Meara is reportedly suffering from agoraphobia and is too terrified to leave her room.

The 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant - who is on suicide watch following her alleged racist bullying of fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty - has been in hiding since receiving death threats and is now said to be suffering from agoraphobia - a fear of open spaces.

One of Jo's closest friends revealed to Britain's Star magazine: "She's terrified of the public reaction to her and her safety. She keeps saying, 'Everyone hates me.'

"She stays in her room all day, she doesn't go outside - she's too scared. There are some days when she doesn't even get dressed.

"Our main priory at the moment is getting Jo back home."

Jo, 27, has also been prescribed stronger anti-depressants after reportedly having a breakdown.

The former S Club 7 singer is said to be "fragile", forcing psychiatrists to increase her current medication dosage.

The source added: "She's very fragile. She's having a breakdown. She's still very tearful and is shaking and rocking a lot.

"We're 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."

To make matters worse, Jo has also reportedly stopped eating - sparking further health concerns.

It has been claimed a Big Brother psychiatrist told Jo he would never have let her go on the show if he had been allowed more than a ten-minute consultation with her.
