Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Shilpa Shetty supporters are feeling vindicated today as her arch-nemises Jade Goody is out  by an over-whelming 82%. Here is what the actress has to say to Scotland's Daily Record.

BULLYING Jade Goody last night admitted her career was over.

After she was booted off Celebrity Big Brother in a viewers' vote, she said: "I'm disgusted with myself."And when DavinaMcCall asked Jade why she bullied housemate Shilpa Shetty causing an international race row, she said: "I'ma p***k. I don't know why I put myself back in here.

"I said it was the beginning of my career and the end of my career."

The mum-of-two was evicted from the BB house after getting 82 percent of the public vote.

As she prepared to leave, Goody said: "I know why."

The millionaire, who was accused of bullying Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty andmaking racist comments, left the house to silence instead of the expected jeers.Channel 4 chiefs, fearing for her safety, had banned the public from her eviction.When she realised there was no crowd awaiting her, Goody muttered: "It has to be that bad that there has to be none."

Goody, 25, showed no emotion when the result was announced. But she became tearful as she prepared to leave the house.Later, Goody, who was up against Shilpa for the eviction vote, insisted she was no racist.

But when she was shown clips of herself in the BB house, she realised why she had caused such a row. Goody said: "I look like a complete and utter nasty small person.

"I'm embarrassed and disgusted in myself after seeing that."

She told presenter Davina McCall: "I am not going to sit here and try to justify myself. Yes, I said those things and they were nasty. But no, I amnot a racist.

"What that house has taught me is that people can come from different countries and different backgrounds and they are just different. It doesn't meant they are not genuine.

"I sincerely, with my hand on my heart, apologise to anyone I have offended out there."

Goody had pleaded with the show's producers to spare her the eviction night crowd.She said she was "petrified" by the idea of facing the public "because people think I'm a racist bitch".

"I've never been more scared in my life." she said.

Goody, who shot to stardom after appearing on Big Brother 3, was also spared the prospect of the post-eviction press conference.here have been claims that Big Brother bosses had warned Goody about the storm she had caused.
During the day, she seemed more interested in sucking the toes of her boyfriend Jack than her impending departure.

But in the diary room, she told Big Brother: "I'm nervous about being booted out. It was different four years ago because I had nothing to lose. Now I've got a fan base and I'm scared of being rejected."

Goody, who earlier in the week called Shilpa "poppadom", went on: "I think it may have caused offence outside.

"Shilpa says she knows I'm not racist, but the press have a lot of power."

Fellow bully, model Danielle Lloyd, also finally twigged that her behaviour could be seen as racist.

Danielle, who said Shilpa should "f*** off home," earlier this week, apologised to her yesterday. She said: "I feel disgusted with myself the way I've treated you.

"And you can even cook me curry and you can pick the onions out with your fingers."

Media watch dogs received more than 40,000 complaints about Shilpa's treatment at the hands of Goody, Danielle and former pop star Jo O'Meara.

PR guru Max Clifford said Goody would need protection. He said: "There are people who feel very passionately about this and she will be at risk.

"She will need protection from police or private security."

But the police themselves want to talk to Goody about the events in the house.

After complaints from the public, Hertfordshire police said they were reviewing tapes of the show and were liaising with producers.

A spokesman said: "We will be speaking to housemates, if and when appropriate, at some point once they have left the house."

Channel 4 announced they would donate proceeds from this week's eviction vote to charity. The move followed a call from Labour MP Keith Vaz to donate profits to a racial awareness campaign.

Big Brother said they would be distributed between charities nominated by the contestants.

In India, Chancellor Gordon Brown hinted that he believed support for Shilpa would be a sign of Britain's tolerance.

On a visit to a Bollywood studio in Mumbai, he stopped short of urging viewers to cast their votes to evict Goody.

But he said: "There is a lot of support for Shilpa. It is pretty clear we are getting the message across. Britain is a nation of tolerance and fairness."

The India Tourism Office issued full-page adverts inviting Jade to "experience the healing nature of India".

But Goody has already visited India - during filming of her own TV show - and seemed less than impressed by the country.

Punters were so certain of Goody being shown the door last night that three William Hill customers placed £5000 bets for the chance of winning just £150. The bookies offered odds of just 1-33 on her eviction.

This week, bottles of Jade's own-brand perfume were taken off shelves.

And in India, outraged protesters burned an effigy of a Big Brother producer.

One group of residents in Jade's home town of Bermondsey, south London, have threatened to burn an effigy of Shilpa today.

A demonstration was being organised by "performance artist" MarkMcGowan, who said: "Jade is getting a really bad time. She is not a racist, she is a good person. Shilpa is manipulative and is the cause of all this trouble."

Traders on Bermondsey's Blue Market launched a Save Our Jade campaign.

But a taxi driver, who did not want to be named, said: "There is a real undercurrent of racial hatred here and I know that the British National Party have a large presence in this area."

Yesterday, a plane trailing a banner which read BB Bullies Out, flew over the house.

And race-hate T-shirts sold from Scotland showing Jade and Shilpa were removed from internet auction site eBay.
