The Londoner reveals her fears...
Jade has admitted that she's far more scared of being evicted tonight than she ever was in her previous Big Brother incarnation.
A week of tension and allegations comes to a head in just a few hours and Jade is fearing possible rejection - and a backlash.
"I'm nervous about being booted out," she told Big Brother in the Diary Room. "It was different four years ago because I had nothing to lose. Now I'm a known person and there are people that like me. I've got a fan base and I'm scared of being rejected."
What worries the Bermondsey girl most is being perceived as a racist, an issue on which she tried to set the record straight.
"I said something regarding Shilpa's surname that I think may have caused offence to people outside," she said. "It wasn't meant in a racist way at all and it worries me that people may think of me as a racial person that makes racial comments. I never would, I've not been brought up like that."
Jade says the Bollywood star is on her side, but she's not sure if everyone will be.
She continued: "Shilpa says she knows I'm not racist, but the press have a lot of power and if they want to print I'm racial.. that could influence a lot of people and I could be evicted for the wrong reasons."
"Fair enough if people vote me out because they don't like me, but if it's because they think I'm a racist b**** I'll be worried about walking out - because that's not me."
