Celebrity Big Brother ends tonight, Shilpa ahead in the race
Publish Date : 1/29/2007 8:34:00 AM   Source : Entertainment News ExpressNewsline.com

It is a breathless wait for fans, friends and family of cinestar Shilpa Shetty as the countdown began today for the grand finale to Celebrity Big Brother, a show on which she faced racist bullying, gained sympathy of the British viewers and emerged a favourite for the top prize.

The reality TV show on UK's Channel 4 ends tonight with 31-year-old Shilpa, former A-Team actor Dirk Benedict and ex-Steps singer Ian "H" Watkins going up for eviction.

Pop Star Jermaine Jackson, model Danielle Lloyd and Jade Goody's boyfriend Jack Tweed are also still on the show.

Former pop singer Jo O'Meara and actress Cleo Rocos were ousted from the show by the UK audience yesterday, leaving the Indian star as one of the clear contenders for the top prize.

Shilpa along with the other contestants remains locked up inside the house of Big Brother, unaware of the global row some of her fellow contestants' comments towards her have sparked. A prize money of 100,000 pounds awaits the winner.

Shilpa's family, in true Gandhian style, has decided to take a 'forgive and forget' stance against Goody who earned the CBB viewer's wrath for racist jibes at the Indian star.

Shilpa's father Surendra said Goody will be welcomed with open arms during her India visit next month and a few "hurtful words" made by her against Shilpa should not make her a victim of aggression.

But Jo, in an interview to the Sunday Mirror, refused to apologise for alleged racist jibes at Shilpa, saying she paid a compliment when she said Indians were skinny. "They should take what I said as a compliment," the newspaper quoted her as saying.
