BIG Brother bully Jade Goody last night launched a desperate bid to revive her flagging career – as “The Princess Diana of Reality TV”.
In her first public appearance since the show’s race row she took part in a debate about reality TV and Big Brother – the show that made her famous.
She was introduced to the 500-strong audience as “The Princess Diana of Reality TV” – because of the highs and lows she has suffered since finding fame in the BB house.
Asked if she thought she was still a celebrity she replied: “I’ve never looked on myself as a celebrity.
“I think I am an annoying person.
“I’m famous for being a loser. I’m famous for nothing. I don’t have talent.
“Celebrities have talent, like writers, singers and actors.
“Going on Big Brother worked for me the first time, but it didn’t work this time.
“But I am not one of those people who is going blame others for what has happened.
“They can’t edit me to look thick if I am.”
During the debate – “Reality TV: The New Reality?” at the posh South Bank Centre in London Jade admitted the Channel 4 show had been fairly edited.
And she refused to blame telly bosses for broadcasting her rants against Indian winner Shilpa Shetty, 31, who she once branded “Shilpa Poppadom”.
She said: “I controlled myself in that house. There was no one pulling strings.
“They didn’t fix my mouth. I said those things. It was me.
“They could have cut it out but why should they? It’s reality TV.”
The 25-year-old former dental nurse had the audience tittering as she came out with a string of daft Jade-isms throughout the 90-minute debate.
She talked about the “controservy” that appea-ring on Celebrity Big Brother had caused.
She then claimed that Crimewatch was a reality TV show and admitted that she had no idea who Tony Blair was when shown a photo of the Prime Minister.
The event was hosted by broadcaster Matthew Wright, 41, and on the panel were fellow Celebrity Big Brother star and MP George Galloway, 52, and Tim Hincks a top producer from Endemol UK who make Big Brother.
Jade said she hoped that she could now move forward and put the whole race row behind her.
And she added: “I may have offended people by what I said but I think people are now seeing beyond this and they are giving me another chance.”
Earlier, Jade had thrown a hissy fit and banned cameras from the high-profile event demanding “privacy” at the public appearance.
