NINETIES popstar Jo O'Meara was spotted popping to the shops after revealing a horror back injury that left her unable to walk.
S Club singer Jo, 43, ran errands near her home in Romford, East London.
The singer wrapped up warm as she stepped out in a large white puffer coat.
She managed to take her dogs out for a stroll as she donned floral leggings and fur lined wellington boots.
The star kept a low profile as she struck a casual figure with a friend.
Her hair was tied into a relaxed ponytail while she went on her walk, makeup free.

It comes as the brave singer revealed she is recovering from surgery after an operation to her back.
She previously told The Sun how she may never dance again after a horror back injury meant she was left unable to walk.

She spent eight days at Queen’s Hospital in Romford, where surgeons removed part of a disc in her back.

Jo was then left reliant on a cocktail of pain medication including up to ten Co-codamol tablets a day on top of other prescription drugs, with even morphine providing little relief.
Recalling how she awoke in agony at 4am in November, she told The Sun: “It was like someone had shot me in the bum.
“It was my right-hand bum cheek. My whole body went into shock. I thought I was having a convulsion.
“The very first thing I did was call an ambulance.
“I was sobbing and shaking. They came running in but I couldn’t move. Every time I tried to get off the bed I was screaming and sobbing in pain.”
Jo was left with permanent damage to her right leg and she still faces months of physio before she would be able to return to the stage with the hit band.
But the group, which initially split in 2003, is set to reunite 25 years after the release of their first single for a reunion tour.
