S Club 7 star Jo O’Meara has said she feels ‘devastated’ after suffering ‘the worst pain yet’ in a health update shared with fans.
The singer, best known for performing 2000s hits such as Reach, published a picture on Instagram on Wednesday in which she appeared to be receiving treatment in a hospital.
The Don’t Stop Movin’ hitmaker captioned the post: ‘When am I gonna get a break ?? I really thought I was on the road to recovery 😢.
‘4am this morning the pain was the worst it’s been yet ! So here we are again ! I am devastated.’
The 43-year-old has previously spoken about suffering from back pain and shared a ‘horrendous’ ordeal in which she sought hospital treatment.
In a post published in September, she wrote: ‘So after almost 20 years pain free my back decided it was time to flake out on me again.
‘The pain has been absolutely horrendous! 4 discs bulging, and a bad case of sciatica, I yesterday went for spinal blockers at the amazing @thelondonclinichospital to try and get things moving again!
‘It will not stop me doing my shows, and I will not be beaten by it!’
