Former pop singer Jo O'Meara has denied being racist after her eviction from Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother. She said, "Shilpa did aggravate me a lot - it's not because I'm racist". And then she gave some evidence, "I'm not a racist person at all. My cousin is married to an Indian man for one, and my cousins are half-Indian and their family is with me all the time."
The thing that surprised me is that people could believe she's racist. This is a girl that used to star in S Club 7. A group that had Tina Barrett and Bradley McIntosh, neither of which are particularly white. And I believe the cast got on really well together (although I think I heard things about people not liking Paul near the end, but he was still dating Hannah and remained a cast member for a while).
