Hi there, I was just wondering what Jade and Co. said that could be deemed as being racist, many thanks in advance for your non over-reactive replies.

To Lydia K, that's exactly my point!!

I have to say I completely agree with you - Jade Goody is Jade Goody. We all know that the way she behaved in the house is the way she behaves all the time. It was a simple clash of personalities if you ask me and the whole thing got blown completely out of proportion. If Shilpa didn't believe the comments to be racist, then surely they weren't? Also if Jade were racist it wouldn't have just been Shilpa she argued with, Jermaine would have had to face her wrath as well! The people of Britain have gone mad with over the top political correctness and it is really beginning to grate. Is there no such thing as freedom of speech???

Jade, Danielle and Jo made fun of Shetty's accent, Jo suggested that Indians were thin because they were always ill as a result of undercooking their food. They complained that Shilpa had touched other housemates' food and asked if Indians ate with their hands. She was refered to as "the Indian" and asked if she lived in a shack. Jade screamed at her to "go back to the slums" and Danielle said she should "f*ck off home" and that she couldn't speak English properly and Jade called her "Shilpa Poppadom" when she couldn't remember her name. I complained to Ofcom by e-mail.
FYI Lydia K, the front page of The News Of The World was, "It was racist. I am a bully". These are Jade's own words.

I complained about the bullying nature of Jade, Danielle & Jo and got a short reply from Channel 4.
The three of them were forever shouting at Shilpa Shetty, poking fun at her accent, her name and laughing at her all the time. Making fun of her cooking although they rarely got off their arses and helped out.
Wasn't sure if it was racist bullying or just ignorant girls doing the schoolyard bullying of someone they didn't get on with?
Jade has since been evicted and as you'll know, she has expressed remorse at her behaviour.
Jo & Danielle seem to be getting on better with Shilpa now so lets hope the bullying has stopped. Itt was uncomfortable viewing to be honest.

I do not think that Jade is racist and I did not complain about any of them on the show. I think that Jade is one stupid individual who has shot herself in the foot with her nasty, gobby comments which was bullying in the strongest form. If you stand for bullying then support her I do not.

This was a publicity stunt that went wrong!!!!!!
Celebrity Big Brother? Who in there is a real celebrity? Not a has been or wannabe but a fully fledged celebrity. There isn't one.
The complaint should have gone to the Advertising Standards Agency, for false advertising!!!!!

Never watched it, never wanna watch it. I think those kind of programmes are crap.
BB producers put those mixes of personalities together on purpose.....to create theatrics and you are a mug if you fall for it and watch this stuff.
Jade and the other girl are opposites nothing more.
