Jade Goody's Indian show
Thursday, 14 August 2008
Jade Goody is set to appear on India's version of 'Celebrity Big Brother' in a bid to repair her flagging career.
The 27-year-old star - who was accused of bullying Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who she nicknamed 'Shipla Poppadom', on last year's celebrity reality show - is said to be considering appearing on the programme to prove she is not racist.
Jade is reportedly in final negotiations with producers to appear on the show, which is ironically hosted by Shilpa, after being offered £50,000 and expenses to star in the two-week programme.
A source said: "For Jade, it's a chance to show that she is not a racist. She is the first to admit that she did have her problems with Shilpa, but this will be like a role reversal and a chance to show India and the world what she is really like."
After Jade starred in 'Celebrity Big Brother' last year, over 54,000 viewers complained to TV regulator Ofcom about her racist behaviour.
The row lead to politicians including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who was then the Chancellor of the Exchequer, defending Britain insisting it is a "country of fairness and tolerance".
'Big Boss in India' starts on August 17.
