  Jo six months pregnant!
I really didn't see this coming! I'm so happy for her! Here are some extracks from Daily Mail interview:

About the pregnancy:

She is in a stable and loving relationship and she is six months pregnant. Both she and her long-term boyfriend are thrilled, though she admits:

"To be honest, it wasn't planned, but it's a very nice surprise. I'm nervous at the thought of a little person calling me mum, but it's a very happy way to begin 2008. Right now, I'm enjoying being interested in life again. I've learned a lot in the past year. I think the whole experience has made me a better person. I think it was meant to happen – to give me a kick up the backside. This feels like a fresh start to me – new year, new baby, new purpose. I'm grateful for that."

About a comeback and future:

Jo is not planning to rush back into showbusiness. She says: "I love singing and that will always be part of my life but I'm taking it slowly and I have the baby to think about." She is considering an invitation to take part in a charity show next month, organised by celebrity voice coach Zoe Tyler.

About Big Brother racism scandal:

"I felt angry and destroyed. It was mad. It was this international fury. I was being deluged with hate-mail and threats. I was forced into hiding. It was scary and I just wanted to disappear. When I got out of the house, everything was thrown at me and I really didn't understand it. I mean how do you get your head round that? Well not very well, obviously. I thought I had lost everything."

  New desing ( finally )
First of all I'd like to apologize. When I launched the previous version I promised to update at least once a week which I haven't done this year. Now I make that same promise again. But for my defense I can say that it's not easy to update when there are no news at all. I'll try.

Here is the 20th version of Lovely Jo, very pretty, I think. I hope you like it too! I named it Story begins.

  Magazine scan additions
I found some old magazine scans when I organized my Jo files and I though I'd add them to gallery. Unfortunately I don't have all the pages of them all and I don't know who to credit. If anyone has the missing pages I'd love to get them! But, check them out:

  New Jo track!
Is there a better way to start a new year than with news of a new Jo track? I don't think so :D A song called "Learn To Love" written by Jo and Simon Ellis ( who has also written Alive ) has been registered to a songwriting website. Here's what Dale thinks about the song and it's history: It struck me odd how Simon Ellis is listed in the Album Thank-yous for "Relentless" with all the other writers FROM the album except none of Simon's songs were used. I'm thinking this song was from the '19' Era.
