Ken slams the Goodys

CELEBRITY Big Brother contestant Ken Russell has branded Jade Goody and her family "slum dwellers".

The veteran film director walked out of the Channel 4 reality show at the weekend after a row with Jade.

The stress of sharing a house with the "vulgar" Jade and her mother, Jackiey, made him fear he would have a stroke, reported The Sun.

"I grew up in the slums of Southampton and we had a word for people like that - guttersnipes.

"There should be a Devil's Island where we can send these people, they're all going to Hell anyway," Russell said.

"I've met people from all walks of life but no-one so vulgar.

"It's almost as though they've been programmed to be vulgar, horrible and objectionable.

Limited

"They speak in a language which is deliberately limited. They didn't even seem to know how to use a knife and fork."

Jade entered the house with mum Jackiey and boyfriend Jack Tweed.

Russell, 79, said: "I tried to get on with them, but they acted like royalty. They looked down on everyone. They were name-dropping or going on about sunbeds."

The Women In Love director has previously suffered a stroke.

And he said: "I thought 'If this going to go on for 25 days I can't take it'. I was worried I'd have another stroke."

But he added: "It was a dare to go in the house. I don't regret it."
