== BiographyCareer ==

=== 1996–1998 ===

O'Meara was born to father Dave O'Meara and mother Barbara O'Meara and raised in [[Romford]], [[East London, England|East London]].

At age 16, O'Meara joined the earliest incarnation of girl group [[Solid HarmoniE]] and flew out to Sweden to work with record producer [[Max Martin]]. She'd move to Essex and performed open mic nights until she was spotted by the [[S Club 7]] team in a country and western bar.<ref name="auto1"/> Prior O'Meara was also a member of a German rap/hip hop group [[2-4 Family]] which was formed in 1998.

=== S Club 7 ===

{{main|S Club 7}}

=== 1998–2003: S Club ===

In her teenage years, Jo O'Meara would sing in a [[Country Music]] pub by the name of Wild Jack Henry's. It was there that someone from [[19 Entertainment]] spotted her on stage. She was also in a group called 2-4 family. However, it was two years later before she got a call from them asking her to audition for a new pop group called S Club 7. O'Meara easily earned a spot in the band. She was a prominent member of the English group, singing most of the group's lead vocals, as well as acting with the group in TV series such as Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club, and S Club's own movie, "Seeing Double."

{{Main|S Club}}

The group rose to public prominence by appearing in their own [[BBC]] television series, ''[[Miami 7]]'', in 1999. Over the five years they were together, S Club 7 had four UK No.1 singles, one UK No.1 album, a string of hits throughout Europe, including a top-ten single in the United States, Asia, Latin America and Africa. They recorded a total of four studio albums, released eleven singles and went on to sell over fourteen million albums worldwide. Their first album, ''[[S Club (album)|S Club]]'', had a strong 1990s pop sound, similar to many artists of their time. However, through the course of their career, their musical approach changed to a more dance and [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] sound which is heard mostly in their final album, ''[[Seeing Double (album)|Seeing Double]]''.

The concept and brand of the group was created by Simon Fuller, also their manager through 19 Entertainment; they were signed to [[Polydor Records]]. Their television series went on to last four series, seeing the group travel across the United States and eventually ending up in [[Barcelona]], Spain. It became popular in 100&nbsp;different countries where the show was watched by over 90&nbsp;million viewers.<ref name=Reach>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/796258.stm | title=S Club reach for the top | access-date=4 September 2007 | date=18 June 2000 |publisher=BBC News }}</ref> The show, which was a [[Children's television series|children's]] sitcom, often mirrored real life events which had occurred in S Club, including the relationship of [[Hannah Spearritt]] and [[Paul Cattermole]], as well as the latter's eventual departure from the group. As well as the popularity of their television series, S Club 7 won two [[Brit Awards]]—in 2000 for British breakthrough act and in 2002, for best British single. In 2001, the group earned the [[The Record of the Year|Record of Year]]. S Club's second last single reached number-five in the UK charts and their final studio album failed to make the top ten. However, on 21 April 2003, during a live onstage performance, S Club announced that they were to disband.<ref name=split>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/2965273.stm | title=S Club to split up| access-date=25 August 2007 | date=21 April 2003 |publisher=BBC News }}</ref>

During the filming of the movie, Jo had an accident on set during one of the stunts which hurt her back, limiting S Club's dance routines and leaving her out of the group for a brief period. Jo's voice remained, however, her vocals were re-recorded by [[Rachel Stevens]] for use during live television performances. Jo eventually returned to continue performing with S Club and to promote the movie, but in June 2003, S Club announced during one of their concerts that they were to split, and performed together for the final time a few weeks later at the [[G-A-Y]] nightclub in [[London]], [[England]].

=== 2004–2007: ''Relentless'' and reality shows ===

=== Solo Career ===

In 2004, O'Meara signed with [[Simon Fuller]] as her artist manager and began recording her debut solo album, planned to be released between September and December.<ref name=monrezo1>{{cite news|url=http://sclub.monrezo.be/JoOMeara/Jo_News.htm|title=Jo O'Meara – News|publisher=Monrezo|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref> The album would be focused on [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] sound, with Fuller describing O'Meara as "the next [[Christina Aguilera]]".<ref name=monrezo1 /> In December 2004, Fuller dropped O'Meara when they failed to sign with [[Polydor Records]] and had creative conflicts – he proposed that she record music from famous songwriters as [[Xenomania]], but she wanted an authorial album.<ref name=monrezo1 /> In 2005, O'Meara returned to studio as an independent artist to record a new material, focused on [[pop rock]] style and produced by [[Richard Carpenter (musician)|Richard Carpenter]], and recorded songs like "Taxi Cab", "Lovely" or "Don't Wanna Let You Down".<ref name=monrezo1 /><ref>{{cite news|url=http://sclub.monrezo.be/JoOMeara/Jo_Portrait.htm|title=News Express|publisher=Monrezo|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref>

In July 2005, O'Meara signed with [[Sanctuary Records]] and on 26 September was released her debut solo single, "[[What Hurts the Most]]", a version of [[Mark Wills]]'s 2003 song. The song peaked at number 13 on the United Kingdom and 26 in Ireland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukchartsplus.co.uk/ChartsPlusYE2005.pdf|title=2005 UK Singles Chart|work=[[UKChartsPlus]]|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref> On 3 October she released her debut album, ''[[Relentless (Jo O'Meara album)|Relentless]]''; the album peaked at number 48 in UK and was described by music critics as "polished", "well constructed" and "better than other former boy/girl band" albums and O'Meara's Voice as "strong".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/xqf9/|title=Jo O'Meara Relentless Review|work=BBC|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref><ref name=uk /> In November, Sanctuary planned to release "Relentless" as the second single, but O'Meara decided to leave the label.<ref name=joofficial1>{{cite news|url=https://jo-omeara.com/jo-omeara/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181031111923/https://jo-omeara.com/jo-omeara/|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 October 2018|title=Jo O'Meara solo career|publisher=Jo O'Meara Official|access-date=31 October 2018}}</ref>

Many speculated when Jo would make her comeback, having been the voice of S Club 7, but instead it was [[Rachel Stevens]] who was the first member of the band to release solo material. Jo surprised many fans by taking a long [[hiatus]] from pop music, many thinking she was healing up her back injury. However, she revealed that she was taking time out from five years on the road with S Club 7, allowing her to spend time with her family and to indulge in her hobby of playing the slot machines in her home town of [[Romford]].

In February 2006, O'Meara took part in the BBC reality show ''[[Just the Two of Us (TV series)|Just the Two of Us]]''. Her singing partner was [[Chris Fountain]], actor on the [[Channel 4]] soap opera ''[[Hollyoaks]]''. The pair came third in the competition, failing to attract enough votes to make the final after their performance of "[[Never Had a Dream Come True (S Club 7 song)|Never Had a Dream Come True]]". In January 2007, O'Meara appeared on ''[[Celebrity Big Brother (British series 5)|Celebrity Big Brother]]''. Along with [[Jade Goody]] and [[Danielle Lloyd]], O'Meara was [[Celebrity Big Brother racism controversy|accused of racist and bullying behaviour]] toward fellow contestant Indian actress [[Shilpa Shetty]], resulting in a record number of complaints to [[Ofcom]], national and international media coverage, and condemnatory statements from the British and Indian governments.<ref name="Metro Backlash">{{cite web |last=Taylor |first=Joel |url=http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=33530&in_page_id=34&expand=true |title=Big Brother backlash |date=17 January 2007 |publisher=Metro |access-date=27 November 2010}} |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110522124540/http://www.metro.co.uk/news/33530-big-brother-backlash</ref>

In July 2005, Jo announced that she had signed a new solo recording deal with [[Sanctuary Records]], the label behind acts such as [[Morrissey]], [[KISS (band)|KISS]] and [[Megadeth]]. Her debut single, "[[What Hurts the Most]]", was released on [[26 September]], [[2005]], followed a week later by her album, ''[[Relentless]]'', getting disappointing charts results along the UK and Europe Charts, getting in the [[UK]] the #47 and in [[Ireland]] the #152. She has already performed at various roadshows in the UK alongside the likes of [[Lemar]], [[Girls Aloud]] and her old bandmate [[Rachel Stevens]].

=== 2008–2020: S Club 3 and S Club reunion ===

In 2006 she took part in the BBC show [[Just the Two of Us]]. Her singing partner was [[Chris Fountain]], who is an actor in [[Hollyoaks]]. The pair came third in the competition, failing to attract enough votes to make the final after their performance of "[[Never Had a Dream Come True]]."

In November 2008, O'Meara, [[Bradley McIntosh]], and [[Paul Cattermole]] formed the spin-off group [[S Club Allstars|S Club 3]] and had been performing in nightclubs, universities and [[Butlins]] holiday camps around the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.happymondaysleeds.com/events/s-club-live-on-stage---the-reunion-show |title=S Club live on stage – The Reunion show |access-date=2 November 2008 |publisher=Happymondaysleeds.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090108095222/http://www.happymondaysleeds.com/events/s-club-live-on-stage---the-reunion-show |archive-date= 8 January 2009 }}</ref> On 12 November 2008 a bottle was thrown during their performance in [[Bradford]]. It struck O'Meara, leaving her with a cut to the head requiring hospital treatment. A 20-year-old man was arrested and it was suggested the attack was linked to her ''Celebrity Big Brother'' appearance where she was accused of racially aggravated bullying.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/former%20s%20club%20singer%20omeara%20injured%20after%20bottle%20thrown_1086629|title= Former S Club Singer O'Meara Injured After Bottle Thrown|access-date= 14 November 2008|date= 14 November 2008|publisher= contactmusic.com|url-status= live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090104055120/http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/former%20s%20club%20singer%20omeara%20injured%20after%20bottle%20thrown_1086629|archive-date= 4 January 2009|df= dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="auto"/>

O'Meara featured in a cover of the [[Python Lee Jackson]] song "[[In a Broken Dream]]" on [[Shane MacGowan and The Popes|the Popes]]' 2012 album ''New Church'', her first released recording in seven years. She also appeared on stage with them performing the song. In November 2014, all seven original [[S Club 7]] members reunited to perform a medley of some of their greatest hits on [[BBC Children In Need]]. They performed a reunion tour, [[Bring It All Back 2015]], in May 2015.

In March 2006, "What Hurts The Most" was recorded and released by country group [[Rascal Flatts]]. It reached #1 on the US Billboard Country Chart, and peaked on the Hot 100 at #6.

Following the S Club reunion Jo continued to tour with Tina Barrett and Bradley McIntosh performing as S Club 3.<ref>{{cite news|title=S Club 7 reunite for Children in Need|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29720935|access-date=22 October 2014|work=[[BBC News]]|agency=[[BBC]]|publisher=bbc.com|date=22 October 2014}}</ref> In 2017, the trio released a single titled "Family" for charity but failed to chart in the UK.<ref>{{cite news|title=S Club 7 reunite for Children in Need|url=http://sclub7.com/sc3-family-release-date/|access-date=24 April 2021|work=SClub7.Com|agency=SClub7.Com|publisher=SClub7.Com|date=2 December 2017|archive-date=24 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210424213723/http://sclub7.com/sc3-family-release-date/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
