Fergie: Stop picking on Jo O'MearaSarah, The Duchess of York has come to the defence of Celebrity Big Brother contestant and former S-Club 7 singer Jo O'Meara. The Express quotes Fergie: "I didn't watch the show and I don't condone anything that was said or done. But I know what it's like to be vilified. I've made mistakes. "I watched her (Jo) on television this morning and I saw a girl who was broken. All I'm saying is, it's time to remove her from the stocks. Now it should stop." Fergie was referring to Jo's appearance on GMTV in which she broke down and rocked back and forth. Jo complained about not being able to return home to Essex as she had received death threats after being accused of racist bullying. Jo told GMTV: "I just feel that Big Brother had a TV show to make and have to do what they can to make good viewing, and unfortunately I was a guinea pig. It has ruined my life. "I don't think I bullied Shilpa, I really don't. I have got feelings and I make mistakes sometimes. Everybody makes mistakes but just not everybody does it on TV." Even sadder than her obvious emotional state, was the revelation that Jo's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother was because she had been experiencing dire financial strain. Her house was under the threat of repossession and she desperately needed money. Jo said: I did it to try and save my house."
