Viewers tuning into the latest episode of Lorraine Kelly's talk show were greeted with a blast from pop past in the shape of S Club 7 star Jo O'Meara.

The singer spoke to the host about her struggle with being addicted to playing fruit machines during her fame with the pop group.

In her first TV interview since revealing she had a gambling problem when she was younger, Jo told Lorraine on her self-titled ITV show: "It became a bit of a thing.

With the band, it was so busy and so hectic, I just used it as a bit of escapism to run away with myself for a little while. "I got caught up in the flashing lights and getting the three sevens or leprechauns, or whatever it would be.
