Bully V Bigot

THE disgraceful racist bullying of Big Brother's Shilpa Shetty reached a new low yesterday as Jade Goody told her to "go back to the slums".

And two-faced Danielle Lloyd said the actress should "F*** off home" before sidling up to her in quiet and declaring: "I don't want to argue with you."

The shocking treatment came as Channel 4 bosses AGAIN refused to step in to stop the bullying - while a million extra viewers tuned in. Complaints to TV watchdogs rose to 21,000 and Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and Indian politicians waded into the row.

The bitterness inside the BB house intensified after Jade - who is up for eviction against Shilpa tomorrow - laid into the Bollywood star and accused her of lying about buying an Oxo cube.

She hissed: "I f***ing hate liars, don't lie over something stupid.

"You're not some princess in f***ing Neverland. You're not some princess here. You're a normal housemate like everybody else. Everybody else.

"Go back to the slums and find out what real life is about lady. "You're so far up your own a**e you can smell your own s***. You're a liar and a fake."

Shilpa, 31, told 23-year-old Jade she needed elocution lessons, before fleeing to the bedroom.

Sniggering Danielle - who once fronted an anti-bullying campaign - said to Jade: "That was f***ing fantastic, I loved it. I think she should f*** off home.

"Does that mean I need elocution lessons because she can't understand what I f***ing say? She can't even speak English properly anyway."

Incredibly, C4 bosses claimed the outrageous comments were NOT racist and dismissed the bullying as merely a "culture clash".

A source said: "It could have been Danielle merely suggesting that Shilpa should be evicted."

Another added: "She didn't say it to her face, and we would only take action if it was said to her directly." In a statement, the station said the comments were "ambiguous". It added: "To date there has been no overt racial abuse or racist behaviour directed against Shilpa within the house.

"However there has undoubtedly been a cultural and class clash between her and three of the British females.

"Unambiguous racist behaviour and language is not tolerated."

Channel 4 boss Andy Duncan gave a one finger-salute to a Mirror reporter as we confronted him about the gang of bullies and asked if he planned to put a stop to the pitiful spectacle inside the house.

Executives even refused to appear on their own channel's news bulletins to discuss the cowardly abuse.

Presenter Jon Snow told viewers: "We asked someone from Channel 4 to come on but they declined."

Despite the controversy TV chiefs are delighted that an extra one million viewers that tuned in on Tuesday, bringing the figure to 4.5million. The National Civil Rights Movement accused Channel 4 of burying its head in the sand over the racist abuse and said it was clear for all to see.

Chair Suresh Grover said: "Every time the girls look at Shilpa they see an Indian. They can't ignore the fact she is not white, they see an Asian woman rather than another human. This is racist and it is bullying."

Suresh said Jo's mimicking of Shilpa's Indian accent two days ago was "racist and totally unacceptable".

And of Danielle's "f*** off home" jibe, she added: "The suggestion is that Shilpa doesn't belong here because of her colour and ethnic origin."

Suresh also said Danielle "does not understand the gravity" of her not speaking English comments.

She said: "Totally racist. Frankly Shilpa's English is a lot clearer than others in the house."

BB chiefs later hauled Danielle, 23, out of bed and pulled her about her remarks to Shilpa.

Realising viewers would see her in a negative light, she did an amazing U-turn. She said: "I don't want anyone to go home. If I said that I regret it.

"I feel disgusted with myself that I actually said it. I'm going to make things better."

And her attitude towards Shilpa, who was also called a "dog" and "bitch" by the girls, changed dramatically.

Speaking in the bathroom - well out of Jade's earshot - she grabbed her and said: "I don't like arguing with anyone and I don't want to argue with you. I don't want you to feel left out. I feel bad and I'm not a bad person."

It came just days after she mocked Shilpa for using facial hair bleach, telling others: "She wants to be white."

After Jade's foul-mouthed attack on her, Shilpa told Jermaine: "I cannot fight people like that. I am not from the road side, she must be and she is."

Jade may have called the actress a liar, but she has yet to learn that outside the house her secret liposuction has been revealed.

She now stands accused of lying to millions of her fans after conning them over her best-selling fitness DVD by resorting to surgery to achieve her current shape.

Bigmouth Jade was last night made 4-5 odds on to be booted out of the house tomorrow. Shilpa is 14-1 to stay in and 13-8 favourite to win the show.
