[Mr Morningstarr*]

Jade Goody is to appear in the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother, according to reports.

It comes 18 months after the 27-year-old reality TV star was accused of racism towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in the UK show.

Goody is expected to join the Indian house this weekend. Shetty is the host of the programme, known as Bigg Boss.

A spokeswoman for makers Endemol said the identity of contestants was never confirmed or denied at this stage.


Because I've been there, done that, I'll be able to relate to the housemates in a more empathetic way because I can imagine what they're going through at that point in time

Last week, speaking in an interview ahead of the show, Shetty said her advice to housemates was "just be yourself".

"Because I've been there, done that, I'll be able to relate to the housemates in a more empathetic way because I can imagine what they're going through at that point in time," she said.

Last year's British show attracted 45,000 complaints to media regulator Ofcom over the alleged bullying of Shetty by Jade Goody and fellow contestants, model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O'Meara

JADE Goody is to enter the Indian Big Brother house, it emerged today.

news comes 18-months after the disgraced former housemate was kicked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house following an alleged race row.

The 27-year-old was accused of racism towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty after calling her “Shilpa Poppadom” on the reality TV show.

But according to sources, Goody – who first hit our screens in 2002 as a contestant on Big Brother 3 - is keen to clear her name by appearing on the Indian version of the show.

A source said: “Jade would like to prove that she’s not a racist.

“When she was first approached, she was a little apprehensive. She doesn’t know how viewers and housemates might react. Now she’s looking forward to it.”

The show, called Bigg Boss, features 12 Indian celebrities and is hosted by 33-year-old Shilpa.

It is thought the mother-of-two will earn up to £100,000 for her appearance.
