Oh Goody! Look who’s here

NEW DELHI: Jade Goody, who triggered a racism row in the recent British reality TV show ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, arrived in Delhi on a four day visit on Monday, sources said.

She arrived with a group of friends and had made all the bookings herself via internet a couple of days ago. Her publicist and media manager Sally Andrews has informed that Jade will speak to the media once she is ready.

Shilpa Shetty won the contest after being confined in a house for about three weeks with other participants including Goody, who shouted at her, called her cooking untrustworthy and mocked her accent.

“Goody is staying in our hotel. But I don’t know her travel plans,” said Akhil Mathur, media manager of the Le Meridien Hotel in the Indian capital.

The Indian Tourism Office had placed advertisements in several British newspapers inviting Goody to experience the healing nature of India.

Goody became famous after appearing on the non celebrity version of ‘Big Brother’ and has earned an estimated US 16 million through various media. She insisted that she was not racist after being evicted from the show.
