How did she get involved in nude modelling?
She started in 1989 [2] with some local amateur photographers where she soon progressed to the full 40 an hour for modelling fully nude. From there it was a short step to the professional shoots; in so doing she escaped a career in either hairdressing or hotel management. The dates for the early events can be a bit difficult to pin down: depending on which interview you believe, her first “top shelf” picture shoot happened anywhere from 1990 to 1992. However it is worth noting that she wasn’t accepted for Page Three of The Sun until after her first “top shelf” shoot. I believe her first published glossy magazine appearance was in June 1992 (Mayfair Vol. 27 No. 7). Some pictures that appeared in other magazines (such as Razzle and Fiesta) in mid/late 1992 had clearly been taken before the Mayfair pics, but I believe Mayfair published first. Jo herself has the final say in an International Express article: “I thought to myself, ‘I can’t sing and I can’t act so I’ll just be a Page 3 girl’
