A chat in Nowhere can get you everywhere...
Newsflash! Jade and Shilpa have made up!
The 25-year old instigated the peace talks which took the form of an extended one-to-one in Nowhere. She started by acknowledging that Shilpa must have been affected by her outburst during Tuesday's great stock cube debate:
"I know that what has happened has not been nice for you... and a lot of stuff got said the other day from you and from myself," she began. Referring to her use of the term 'Shilpa Poppadom', Jade took great lengths to explain that nothing malicious was behind it: "I didn't say [it] in a racial way... I do not judge people by the colour of their skin."
"I know that," replied a calm Shilpa. "I don't think you're racist."
"I appreciate you saying that - it does mean a lot," said Jade.
But diplomacy is rarely easy - and as the pair sifted through their exact words during Tuesday's row, tempers momentarily threatened to ignite once more.
"If somebody is going to keep calling me fake, it's bound to hurt me," stressed the actress.
When Jade said the suggestion that she needed elocution lessons really wound her up, Shilpa had to correct her: "I didn't say elocution. I said etiquette."
"It's obvious we don't get on," said Jade, citing "different backgrounds". "There is definitely a culture clash," agreed Shilpa, who then took the high ground saying: "You said more nasty things about me than what I said about you."
With inroads slowly being made, Jade pointed the finger at herself for letting events escalate on that night: "I was angry of the fact that I'd let you make me get so angry over a cube!"
After giggling over how trivial if all was, the pair agreed that it was sad the House had become divided. "I don't want the awkwardness anymore," remarked Jade.
Then, at precisely 7.50pm and 40 seconds, it happened. Jade uttered the immortal words "I'm sorry" and lunged in for a hug. Yes - A HUG!
Smiling, they joked that they are unlikely to be best friends, but were pleased to dispel any bad feelings.
"I really appreciate that you took the first step," smiled Shilpa. And with that, the pair walked into the House to report their armistice.
Dirk applauded, Ian launched into a rendition of 'Love Is In The Air', and all seemed well in Celebrity Big Brother House.
