Jade Goody
Born in Bermondsey, London, Goody worked as a dental nurse before coming to public attention in 2002 when she was a contestant in the 3rd series of the UK version of Big Brother.
Goody was denounced in the British tabloid press for among other things threatening to "deck" (knock out) another contestant who claimed that Goody had a verruca (small lesions that appear on the sole of the foot) on her foot. More notoriously she displayed a high level of ignorance regarding basic general knowledge for a British native. Goody thought that the British city of Cambridge was in London. On being told that Cambridge is in East Anglia, or rather Goody's "East Angular", she assumed that this was abroad. Goody also believed that Saddam Hussein was a boxer. Fears were expressed that Goody would be physically attacked on leaving the Big Brother house.
She was voted 4th worst person in Britain in the poll 100 Worst Britons.
Since her first appearance on Big Brother she has earned an estimated £8 million fortune according to Channel Four, in other reality shows and appears almost constantly in celebrity, trivia, and gossip-oriented magazines such as heat and OK!. On January 5, 2007, Jade and her family returned to Big Brother, re-entering the house during Celebrity Big Brother.
I would say she is the only one who has manage to get such heights after coming out of the big brother house. She has sold books on her autobiography, sold videos on how to get slim (becox she was fat and ugly, and also got completely nude after getting drunk in her first Big Brother show), she's open beauty parlour and has a perfume selling named "Shsssss", which sells more then the perfume of Victoria Beckham and J Lo.
Good thing is that now everything is out of shelf and yesterday UK tv declared that they will no more support Jade Goody's things. I think she is back to her trash now. She deserve this becox she bullied and was racist to Shilpa.
Veiws on Shilpa
Gordon Brown has again waded into the Celebrity Big Brother racism row by urging viewers to back Shilpa Shetty to stay in the house, rather than Jade Goody.
Shilpa in Big Brother...
The clips from Big Brother we watched were fascinating. It is so obvious that the reason for this row is envy. Shilpa is beautiful, talented and successful. They are nothing like her, so they want to hurt her.
incident is not representative of the whole society and therefore such attention to it is not justified.
Just because she is Indian and the others are British doesn't mean anything. You cannot generalise. Maybe there is a problem at some level in British society, but the same goes for every other community.
Shilpa in Big Brother...
I live in
I was not her big fan before, but i am now when I have seen what a wonderful person she is from inside and a very beautiful soul. Shipa has a class and i was very much moved by her mother, the way she gave interview to BBC. She was so full of confidence about her daughter that she will survive with a dignity in the house, and boy she is right!
