Goody set to be Baddie on Indian Big Brother?

Jade Goody is reportedly set to take part in the new series of Indian Big Brother. It will be a third appearance on the series to add to her repertoire, after BB3 (in which she originally shot to ‘fame’), and last year’s disastrous Celebrity Big Brother.

The Indian version of the show – ‘Big Boss’ – will ironically be fronted by Shilpa Shetty, whom Goody was accused of racially bullying during Celebrity Big Brother in January last year.

Goody will be paid £100,000 for her appearance in the show which starts filming this weekend, according to today’s Sun.

‘She was really upset about everything that happened after the scandal last year. She really wants to clear her name and prove to everyone that she’s not a racist,’ a source told the paper.

Goody’s actions on Celebrity Big Brother, which included calling Shetty ‘Shilpa Poppadom’, resulted in more than 50,000 complaints to Ofcom and put Channel 4 in turmoil. The race row also led to street protests in India, where effigies of Goody were burned.

‘Big Boss’ is expected to last three months, and will see 12 Indian celebrities take part.

This Christmas Goody will play the wicked queen in Royal Theatre Lincoln’s pantomime of Snow White. If Jade’s a method actress, she should have plenty of life experience to draw on – though hopefully this won’t include her appearance in India.
