Jo: 'I have done nothing wrong'

Jo O'Meara has refused to apologise for her part in the Celebrity Big Brother racism row.

The former S Club 7 singer has insisted that she doesn't regret any of her behaviour in the house and blamed show producers for editing her unfairly.

"I am not a racist and I am not a bully. I was bullied a lot at school and I hate bullies. It made me bulimic. I can't say sorry for something I'm not guilty of," Jo told the Sunday Mirror. "If I went back in there then I'd say it all again. I wouldn't change a thing from my BB experience, even now, because I know the truth. Big Brother has shown me unfairly. They have not shown me as I am.

"I was myself in the house, absolutely. But BB seems to have chosen all the bad bits. Everyone now thinks I'm a Fag-Ash Lil who hangs around in my dressing gown all day with unwashed hair - but it's not true."

The 27-year-old also criticised host Davina McCall for giving her a harder time than Jade Goody in her exit interview.

"Compared to Jade, I got the Spanish Inquisition," she complained. "I guess Big Brother told her to give me a rough ride. She gave Jade an easier time and that's not fair. I've just learned that Davina and Jade share the same agent, so I can see why some people might think she got an easier ride."

Jo also refused to follow in Jade's footsteps by donating the fee for her newspaper interview to charity: "I don't feel the need to do that. I have done nothing wrong."
