There were a number of people in the house that were emotionally bullying Shilpa. Jack Tweed called her a **** ****** and Goody called her 'Shilpa ****awallah' and Danielle Lloyd said she should '**** off home'. From what I remember it was really nasty stuff at the time and I believe they got a record number of complaints and lost BB sponsors because of it.

Whilst it had to be shown that this sort of talk was not acceptable, the media were particularly cruel to Goody, even after she apologised. In my mind, Jades mum, Lloyd and Tweed were much worse than Jade but she was the one who was made to suffer.

Pretty much, I think people just pinned it mainly on Jade, because she was the biggest name in the show at that point, what she did was wrong, but the backlash against her was way over the top. I remember at the time thinking Danielle Lloyd seemed to be the most horrible toward Shilpa.

Yeah, the "Shilpa Poppadom" comment was really the least of what went on that year... although I agree, Jade took most of the flak for it (because of her higher profile at the time) when she wasn't the worst by far.

Yeah was about to say the same thing. It was a sort of the higher you are the harder you're going to fall type thing, no one even knew who Jack, Jades mom and Danielle were which is why Jade and Jo took most of the backlash.simply because they were known to the public more

Well of course, if you are offensive to a national treasure on national television you are going to be the ones held to account, Imagine someone being offensive to Joanna Lumley on Indian TV There would be OUTRAGE!
