Big Bother

Dedicated Celebrity Big Brother follower and In Fact, Ah social commentator Francie has a bone to pick with Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty. Do they eat bones in India? Just wondering like.

P.S. Don't bother with the "In Fact, Ah are racist" comments. Been there, refuted that.


This year's Celebrity Big Brother had got off to a slow start and viewing figures had started to slump, but on Day 7, that all changed.

The show has been entangled with a huge row of alleged racism on the show towards contestant, Bollywood actress, Shilpa Shetty. A clique of contestants led by the motor mouth and former Big Brother contestant Jade Goody have turned on Shetty and portrayed the underlining hatred towards outsiders, still evident amongst many UK nationalists. Goody, who we know from her appearance on the 2002 show, has amassed a personal wealth of £8m sterling following her celebrity status derived from her show antics. This despite coming out with such classics as ‘They were trying to use me as an escape goat’ whilst on the show. She still knows how to market herself to the paying public and profit from it.

On the show Goody’s little racist group consists of herself, boyfriend Jack Tweed, model Danielle Lloyd and former S Club 7 star Jo O’Meara. Previously, Goody’s mother, who has been evicted, had asked Shetty, ‘Do you live in a house or a shack?’, whilst Tweed allegedly called her a ‘fucking Paki’, though the show producers later denied this saying he had instead called her a ‘cunt’, seemingly to suggest the term was less offensive. During a recent discussion over Oxo cubes another row erupted with Goody and Shetty, and afterwards Lloyd had referred that Shetty should ‘fuck off home’ whilst in conversation with Goody and O’Meara.

Viewing figures have rocketed by over a million since, and Channel 4 and producers Endemol must be secretly rubbing their hands at the expected increased ratings and voting revenues following the pairing of Goody and Shetty for eviction this Friday. Goody is 1/5 favourite with bookmakers to be evicted and faces a huge international public backlash when she leaves the house over her behaviour. Shetty meanwhile has been installed as favourite to win the show.
