2,000 complain over Big Brother 'racism'
PA Published: 16 January 2007 The number of complaints about alleged racist bullying in Celebrity Big Brother has shot up to 2,000, it was revealed today. Channel 4 viewers have flooded media watchdog Ofcom with emails and calls protesting about the treatment of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty by fellow housemates. The number of complaints rocketed from 200 which had been received by yesterday afternoon. A show spokesman said: "The social interactions and dynamics of the group are one of the key parts of the Big Brother story and viewers have a right to see these portrayed accurately - however this is balanced with our duty not to broadcast material that may cause unjustifiable offence. "We take this matter very seriously and Big Brother does not tolerate bullying or racist abuse in any form. Big Brother is closely monitoring all the housemates and will take appropriate measures to reprimand such behaviour where necessary." An Ofcom spokeswoman said: "We have now had around 2,000 complaints. They are coming in a continuous stream. "We had a similar number of complaints about the last series of Big Brother when Nikki was allowed back into the house and people were furious that they were having to pay to vote for the same person twice. "But if things continue at this level, by tomorrow this is likely to be the largest number of complaints ever received about a Big Brother series." Last night's show featured more scenes of housemates Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara allegedly picking on Shilpa. The trio mocked Shilpa's attempt to roast a chicken and initially refused to eat it, claiming she had not cooked it properly. Jo did impressions of Shilpa's Indian accent and complained that the actress had touched housemates' food with her hands. "They eat with their hands in India, don't they - or is that China?" asked Danielle, adding with a sneer: "You don't know where her hands have been." Housemate Ian 'H' Watkins became so upset by the trio's treatment of Shilpa that he fled to the bathroom in tears. The ex-Steps star said in the diary room: "I'm just a little disappointed in Danielle, she's been saying some really nasty things to Shilpa and just expects Shilpa to forget them. "I just think she's being influenced by Jade. Jade's a lovely girl as well but I really think she isn't playing fair to Shilpa. Jade should know better. "There's a lot of name calling and petty things, and its clearly school ground behaviour. It's almost like bullying, and it's really, really unfair." Allegations of racism first surfaced when Jade's mum Jackiey moved into the house. She repeatedly referred to Shilpa as "the Indian" and refused to pronounce her name properly. http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article2157874.ece |

What is the concept of the show??? How do they get a winner, do all of them stay in the house for 25 days? How many evictions are still to come?

Diary-tribe
Tuesday 16 January Day 14, 11:06 Jade's letting off some steam in the Diary Room... Jack doesn't like Shilpa; she's been annoying him. How do we know? Because Jade told us so. It's not hard to see why the House's quietest tenant doesn't talk much with Jade around. She does enough talking for the both of them - and now she's even doing it in the Diary Room. Story continues below "Shilpa's getting on Jack's nerves," the London lass told Big Brother. "She's not his cuppa tea. She keeps whispering to Jermaine and it's been doing his head in. He thinks it's rude." Well we're sorry to hear that, Jack - even if you've chosen to express your emotions through this novelty ventriloquist's act. Like a meddling mum barging into the headmaster's office, Jade continued to speak for other people in the House saying: "When he [Jermaine] wanted cloves of garlic in his food she wouldn't let him, she is so controlling." And it's not just Jack who's getting irritated by the Bollywood star, as Jade added: "Her screeching is getting to quite a few people, it's driving them mad." Then she did an impression of Shilpa screeching. Unsurprisingly, Jade tends to agree with her boyf's view and said: "There's more to Shilpa than meets the eye, she's got an agenda. She says she's being herself but I think she's fooling people into thinking she's that type of person. It never seems sincere." Jade reckons she would try to heal the rift but claimed: "Whenever I speak to her she just cries," concluding: "She's doing my nut in." And Jack's too, no doubt... WE DEFINATELY KNOW WHAT JADES HIDDEN AGENDA IS...
