GRACE IN SHOCK AT DAD IN JAIL
THRILLED Big Brother beauty Grace Adams-Short tracked down her dad after 17 years to speak to him - only to find out he was banged up in prison.
Former pop manager Karl Adams was on remand in jail when Grace, 20, contacted him.
Last night, a friend of the BB contestant said: "Grace was delighted to finally talk to her dad on the phone, but she was stunned when he told her he was in prison.
"They had a good chat and promised to meet up once his case had been resolved.
"After he was acquitted, Grace went to his home in Northampton where he lives with his mother - Grace's grandmother.
"It was a very emotional day and there was a lot of crying."

Last week, we exclusively revealed how Karl, 47 walked out on Grace and her mum, Alison, when the BB star was a toddler.
But she kept his photo and was determined to be reconciled.
When she tracked him down in February, Karl was in category A Woodhill Jail in Milton Keynes - having been charged with threatening his ex-girlfriend and members of her family after the end of a five-year relationship.
After spending several weeks in jail on remand, he was cleared of the charges on February 17.
But it wasn't his first brush with the law. In 2003 he was given a two-year community rehabilitation orderCourt after an 11-hour police siege at his home, following a row with his parents.
