Fresh race row hits BB
Claim: Shilpa Called 'Paki'
Police are investigating claims that Shilpa Shetty was twice called a 'Paki' in unseen Celebrity Big Brother footage.
According to reports in The Sun newspaper, a Big Brother informant has spoken to police and was quizzed for 90 minutes.
The paper says Hertfordshire police have asked to see the tapes of the show, but bosses deny the footage exists.
A Channel 4 spokeswoman said there was no evidence in their log of the word being used.
But you can find out the truth when Shilpa Shetty gives her first TV interview to Sky News later this morning.
Public relations guru Max Clifford has taken her to a luxury mansion in Surrey while he negotiates a variety of deals that will make her a millionaire.
Only a chosen few are allowed through the secure gates to speak to the Bollywood star - and Sky News presenter Kay Burley is one of them.
She will give her views on the latest scandal to hit the show.
And she will spill the beans on all the other housemates, her hurt at being bullied and her plans for the future.
You can read the full story and video on sky.com/news.
You can also read Kay's exclusive account of what Shilpa's really like in a special article on the website later today.
And there will be a full transcript of the interview later this afternoon.
