A bookmaker has refused to pay out if Jade Goody wins the Celebrity Big Brother show.

Bookies William Hill announced its decision after allegations of racism against Indian film star Shilpa Shetty.

Both the Bollywood actress and Goody have been rowing in the house.

"As far as we are concerned, Jade does not deserve to win and we will not be accepting any bets on her," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.


He said the firm will be paying out on the contestant who comes second if Goody is the last to be 'evicted'.

The company now offer 12/1 that the unhappy pair come to blows, while Shilpa is the 6/5 favourite to win.

The bookmaker's odds suggest Jade will be evicted before Shilpa and they offer 1/7 that Jade will be voted out of the house before Shilpa, who is a 4/1 shot to do vice versa.

William Hill Big Brother winner odds:

:: 6/5 Shilpa Shetty, 5/2 Cleo Rocos, 9/2 Dirk Benedict, 8/1 Jermaine Jackson, 10/1 Ian H Watkins, 25/1 Jo O' Meara, 50/1 Danielle Lloyd.
