SHAMED S CLUB 7 singer JO O'MEARA was left with a gaping two-inch head wound after a bottle was hurled at her during a gig.
The 29-year-old — involved in last year’s Celebrity Big Brother race row — collapsed to her knees and had to be helped off the stage.
Jo and bandmates BRADLEY MCINTOSH and PAUL CATTERMOLE had been on for only 15 minutes at Tokyo nightclub in Bradford, West Yorks, when she was struck by the glass.
She was helped away by Paul, 31, as Bradley, 27, yelled at the 900-strong crowd: “It takes just one idiot to ruin everybody’s night.
“If you are going to throw a glass, throw it at me...you had to spoil it.”
Jo was rushed to hospital but later allowed to return to her London home.
She said: “We were all having a great time until the incident and would like to apologise to fans that our set was cut short.”
A 20-year-old white male — grabbed by club bouncers — was yesterday being quizzed by cops.
Police are trying to establish if the assault was connected to last January’s Big Brother race storm, which saw Indian actress SHILPA SHETTY bullied by housemates Jo, JADE GOODY and DANIELLE LLOYD.
Jo was one of only three of the original S Club 7 — who had hits with Reach and Don’t Stop Movin’ — to join in the reunion tour.
