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.”

Uh-oh, Bradley McIntosh – of S Club 7 fame, remember? – is in trouble. The 26-year-old ex band member was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving early this morning.
A spokesperson for Oxford police would only confirm to heatworld: “At 5.30am, on Gypsy Lane, Oxford, a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and released on police bail today until 1 March.” When we contacted Bradley’s agent he could neither confirm nor deny the story.

Hannah Spearritt is sick of Primeval being compared with Doctor Who – she insists the ITV1 series is out on its own.
The perky blonde, formerly of S Club fame, believes the sci-fi show is established enough to have its own vibe.
And now it is in its second series, she and fellow actor Andrew Lee Potts (also her boyfriend) are sure the fantasy drama has moved on from tired old comparisons.
Hannah said: “I believe we won’t get the comparisons this year. This year it’s established, and if you’ve watched the series it’s obvious it’s nothing like Doctor Who.”
Andrew added: “It was frustrating for us last year, but without Doctor Who we probably wouldn’t have been given the slot. There’s space for everybody.
“The great thing is with all these sci-fi series, people are starting to say, ‘Hang on, Britain can make fantasy really well.’”

When S Club 7 split up in 2003, many thought that would be the end of the tween sensations.
But one member of the pop band has come back bigger and better than before, although this time she has reinvented herself as an actress.
When Hannah Spearritt, the impishly pretty one from S Club, signed up to star as zoologist Abby Maitland in ITV1’s Saturday sci-fi smash hit Primeval, she didn’t realise it would be such a success, or that she’d bag herself a new bloke in the process. The boyfriend in question is her co-star, Andrew-Lee Potts, who plays her will-they-won’t-they? love interest, Connor, in the show.
So, how do the lovebirds cope, living and working together?
“Working together 24-7 is always going to be a rollercoaster I suppose, but we’re good because any problems we have, we have a chat about and work through,” says Hannah.
“It was a journey,” adds Andrew. “The last thing you want when you’re doing stuff wrong at work is for your missus to be watching it, so there was all that mixed in.
“Also, as an actor I’m used to looking after myself, even though it sounds selfish,” he continues. “But with Connor and Abby, because it was me and Hannah, it meant so much more and we so wanted to get it right. There were a lot of emotions on the set for us. If we do it again we’re looking forward to it because we went through that whole journey and we learned quite a lot about each other.”

Fans of hit ITV1 show Primeval are being given the chance to design their own monster for Hannah Spearritt and her team to tackle.
The competition, which is launched today and runs until April 7, will see the winning creature being brought to life when the show’s third series hits screens next year, reports the Daily Star.
Executive producer Tim Haines said: “By giving people the opportunity to design a monster for the third series we are creating a chance for them to be more involved and feel closer to the programme.”
Tim added that the cast and crew were all delighted with the success of the second series: “We are extremely proud of Primeval. Its popularity demonstrates that you can create ‘characters’ in CGI that audiences will respond to.”
