Emily's shock at death threats

DISGRACED Big Brother contestant Emily Parr has received two DEATH THREATS after being kicked off the show for making a racist slur.
The posh 19-year-old was given the boot just a week into the Channel 4 programme after calling Charley a “n***er.”

Blonde Emily said she was targeted by people on her MySpace website.

She claimed one of the death threats said: “I’m going to hunt you down, girl.” Now she is worried to leave her house in Bristol. She confessed: “I am a bit nervous about going out.

“It’s just about making that step. There’s still a big cloud hanging over my head.

“I want to smile again.”

But even her mum Mandy is furious at her for the BB outburst.

She said: “I love her dearly, but I was so angry with her for saying that word.

“I’ve never heard anyone in my family speak like that.”

Emily admitted she didn’t see Jade Goody’s infamous Celebrity Big Brother bust-up with Shilpa Shetty which sparked an earlier race row. And she tried to tone down her own remark saying: “It was a term of affection.”

She added: “Me and Charley were good friends in the house. I know it offended people, but it’s a term used rather loosely among my friends — black and white.”

Emily told Heat magazine she will never use the word again, saying: “I was ignorant not to think about what I was saying.

“I’ll always be gutted by what happened. There’s no amount of words that can cover how sorry and how stupid I’ve been.

“But we’ve all got to move on now and all I ask from anyone is that they understand what really happened and accept my apology.”
