Oh thank god – for a while it looked like this series of Celebrity Big Brother was going to slide away into obscurity, but now Celebrity Big Brother is must-watch TV again, and it's all down to nothing but good old-fashioned English racism.
If you haven't been watching Celebrity Big Brother lately, let us fill you in. Globally, one of the biggest Celebrity Big Brother housemates this year is Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. However, a small group of Celebrity Big Brother housemates led by Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara don't seem to realise how famous Shilpa is – and they all seem to be bullying her because she's got brown skin, can't cook chicken properly and flushes bones down toilets. Is this Celebrity Big Brother racism in action? Thousands of people have complained to Channel Four saying that it is. And guess what – now you can bet on it. We've got the latest betting odds to find out who'll be the first Celebrity Big Brother housemate to get formally warned by Big Brother for bullying. It's like a great big special racist party, and you're all invited!
So here are the Celebrity Big Brother betting odds to find the first Celebrity Big Brother housemate to be warned for bullying, with help from Paddy Power…
Jermaine Jackson – Throughout Celebrity Big Brother, Jermaine Jackson has been Shilpa's first port of call whenever it looks as if she's being bullied by the others. And if this simple fact alone didn't make him Celebrity Big Brother's most non-racist, non-bullying housemate, perhaps the fact that he recently genuinely calmed Shilpa by saying "These people should listen to my brother Michael's song Man In The Mirror," will. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 33/1
Cleo Rocos – Cleo Rocos is another Celebrity Big Brother housemate who seems chronically incapable of racism or bullying because she's just so bloody lovely to everyone all the time. Since Cleo is friends with everyone in the house, she often acts as the Celebrity Big Brother mediator during arguments, bringing Jade and co together with Shilpa to talk through their differences. Sure, these talks always end in crying and more shrieking racism, but what can you do? Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 33/1
Dirk Benedict – If wanting to hump a Hindu on live TV is racist then Dirk Benedict doesn't want to be politically correct. Right from the start of Celebrity Big Brother Dirk has professed his unrequited love for Shilpa Shetty, so he's hardly going to get a warning from Big Brother for racism. But bullying… every time Jade Goody honks out another indecipherable sentence at full volume you can see Dirk's eyes narrow with rage a little more. There's a chance he might snap and loudly bully Jade until she urinates down herself – in which case he's a runner – but otherwise Dirk's probably safe. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 20/1
Shilpa Shetty – Whaaaat? Shilpa Shetty still might be given a Celebrity Big Brother warning for bullying even though she's the one being bullied? Huh? Actually there is a chance that Shilpa Shetty could be given a warning, since several Celebrity Big Brother housemates think she's manipulative and controlling and this could possibly be vaguely seen as being a bit bullyish. Also, if Shilpa is subjected to more teasing from Jade's crew, she may well go postal and slash all the Celebrity Big Brother housemates' throats open with a breadknife. And that sort of counts as bullying too. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 20/1
Ian Watkins – Despite these betting odds, we actually think that Ian Watkins is the Celebrity Big Brother housemate least likely to get an official warning for being a racist bully, as racism requires an opinion and Ian has clearly never had one of these in his entire life. Throughout this whole Celebrity Big Brother racism episode Ian's reaction has mainly been to hide in a corner muttering to himself and wishing everyone would go away like the child in a broken marriage. Ian also thinks the Celebrity Big Brother situation is like Lord Of The Flies – albeit a Lord Of The Flies starring millionaires arguing about poultry – and the law states that if you read books you can't be a bully. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 20/1
Jo O'Meara – Now we start to get into the Celebrity Big Brother group that has seen the most accusations of bullying. Jo O'Meara's main crime so far involves her doing a 'comedy' impression of Shilpa Shetty, although – in fairness – the impression was so hamfisted that it could just as easily have been Ian Watkins she was impersonating. Also Jo was the ringleader of the Celebrity Big Brother chickengate incident, where she reduced Shilpa to tears by claiming her roast turkey was "a bit pink" and wondered if all Indians were thin because they were sick all the time. On the other hand, Jo has pulled up some of the other Celebrity Big Brother housemates when they've crossed the line and insulted Shilpa a little bit too much. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 8/1
Danielle Lloyd – We think Danielle Lloyd's got off pretty lightly here, since she's one of the Celebrity Big Brother housemates with the worst track records against Shilpa. During their drunken argument on Friday night, Danielle called Shilpa a "dog" and "just the cook," and has gone on to back up Jade's attacks wherever possible, as well as saying that Shilpa bleached her facial hair because she wants to be white. It's hard to tell whether or not Danielle is being genuinely racist towards Shilpa, or if she's just jealous because there's more to Shilpa than a fat chest and a middle-aged footballer boyfriend. Either way, we're putting Danielle in the racist bully Celebrity Big Brother 'one to watch' category. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 5/2
Jack Tweed – Whether he did it on purpose or not, Jack Tweed kicked off this whole Celebrity Big Brother racism landslide by insulting Shilpa so badly that Celebrity Big Brother needed to bleep it. Several Asian groups claim that the bleeped ward was "Paki" – which probably would warrant all the complaints – but in actual fact Jack was merely calling Shilpa a "cunt". Also, at one point Jack suggested that Shilpa should clean a toilet with her teeth. Jack Tweed, then. Possibly not a racist but definitely an unbelievably stupid, inexcusably nasty little tit. We tell you, if Jack hadn't have wanked up Jade's leg the other day, they'd be no way back for him. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – 9/4
Jade Goody – And now for the ringleader. In Jade's head, every single thing that's wrong with the Celebrity Big Brother house is Shilpa's fault. At last count, Jade had blamed Shilpa for filling in the shopping list wrong, for her mother being evicted from Celebrity Big Brother and – oddly – for the way that Shilpa followed the rules when deciding to evict Carole from Celebrity Big Brother. Oh, and crying all the time. Again, it might be jealousy, ignorance and incredible stupidity at work instead of racism but either way Jade has never been too far away from all this Celebrity Big Brother bullying. Her mother must be proud. Current Celebrity Big Brother betting odds – Evens
Tomorrow – hopefully something nicer, like the betting odds for all the Celebrity Big Brother housemates catching E-Coli or something. But if that's too long to wait – or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with – head right over to the Paddy Power Celebrity Big Brother betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.

I agree that Danielle seems to be the worst perpetrator of this racism. Jade’s just trying to stand up for her own skewed morality – plus she’s the loudest – but Danielle “aw, she wants to be white” Lloyd has genuinely said some very nasty stuff to Shilpa. I’m placing a bet on Danielle!!
nazzy says

“Are these comments seriously representative of the population as a whole? *shudder*”
Ahh, gotta love google for sending a quality assortment of readers to this site I guess?!
Great article though!
chris de freitas says
Nazzy you need to learn how to talk. If your going to comment on such a touchy subject and be taken serious then you might want to stop calling Jade a skeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Try spell check next time hunny.
Andy says
Further to chris’s comment on the Nazzy’s post – Well said sir!
I gave up trying to work out what this person was trying to say as I could not understand the text at all!
If you want to make a valued and level -headed comment about a serious issue of racism and bullying please do so in a language that can be read! Then again I’m sure people with the (ahem!) dexsterity of a Jade or a Danielle would make sense of it!!
rob says
Nazzy….you are a complete cretin.
Brad says
Oh my god you europeans are so stuck in old acient times with the pathetic lame raccis bs. How can a show allow this trash? in the states those people would be banned so quickly. You english need to get the hell out and see the world and that its not pale and white like you may think it is. Just like in your soccer matches were they yell monkey noises to black players, you people are the animals. Europeans have been around longer and still you haven’t learned a thing, grow up you sick peices of crap. Big brother is soooo 90’s and has been canceled in the states for couple years now, stop copying our styles and shows you biters.
Dr John says
That’s compared to America righ Brad? Where censors flipped out during an interacial kiss on ER a couple of years ago? Where shows like Survivor actually base their shows around racist divides?
You nob.
Priya says
y u lotz bein deep 4 yh leve silpa alone its not like she did anyting rong its jus
that jade and wats her name danielle wich need to sort there lives out and stop b*tch*n bout shilpa cuz dats rong
it aint like jade a bloody queen
D. Livingston says
HELLO “BRAD”
REF YOUR REMARKS ABOUT US. AT LEAST WE DO HAVE ANCIENT TIMES TO LOOK BACK ON. AMERICANS ARE THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK AND DO NOT HAVE ANCIENT TIMES TO LOOK BACK UPON. THE REAL AMERICANS (THE INDIANS ) HAVE HISTORY AND YOU LOT DECIMATED THEM!!!!!!! STICK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND AND KEEP YOUR INSULTS OUT. IF THIS COUNTRY HAD NOT INVENTED TELEVISION YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH TELEVISION, IN FACT MOST OF YOUR TECHNOLOGY CAME FROM THE EUROPEANS I UNDERSTAND….
Stuart Heritage says
Ah, mutual xenophobia. Sometimes I worry if it’s the only thing the US and the UK have in common any more…
D. Livingston says
NOT REALLY STUART, AS A 70 YEAR OLD I AM NOT SO SHARP AS YOU YOUNGER GENERATION.
GOING BACK TO THE MAIN DISCUSSION, IT IS OBVIOUS THOSE THREE “WIMMIN” WHO SEEM TO BE ATTACKING SHILPA SHETTY VERBALLY HAVE NOT ANY DIGNITY OR SELF PRIDE IN THEMSELVES. I THINK THAT THEY ARE POOR SPECIMENS OF, WELL, ANYTHING.
doyin says
This whole big brother stuff just brings to life how racist British people really are? look at jade for example that is talking she herself was a nobody before she was lucky to win the bigbrother show , the only reason why there is no racism threays against jermaine is because he is American black and Micheals brother so he is not even seen as a black person that is why he is in the position to act as peace maker , if he were African or Carribean black he would have been treated worse by jade and her gang.
Beth says
hey, I don’t think this is racism, although it could be. From what I have seen I think dumb and dumber (Jade and Danielle) are envious of Shilpa. She is beautiful, she has class, she is smart and she is constantly in a group of men who like her. Jade is as thick as a door post (sorry I shouldn’t insult the door post), on one episode she asked if there was any eskimos out there could they contact her…does she really think that any eskimos are watching big brother?! It worries me when Danielle says she has the highest IQ out of all the WAGS, they must be seriously retarded if she is the smartest. I like Jo, however she is not helping Shilpa by being in the “crew”. Danielle is always looking for approval from Jade when she makes comments about Shilpa. Jade is a manipulating cow and I think she should be out or have a humiliating punishment which the public will enjoy.

Frederick Scott says
Reality Shows are for $ only. Americans will watch and buy anything. It’s all about RATINGs not ABout U. For Ex: American Idol Show keeps the Judges with a JOB!!!!!!!! That’s All. People are sSo Big on Becoming Rich and That’s IT!!!!
C J Davies says
People, people … when will we realise? Regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or other such factors … deep down, everyone in the Celebrity Big Brother House is essentially the same. They’re ALL twats.
Now what could be more unifying than that?
lolz says
well shilpa rockz other ppl STOP BULLYING HER!!! MAN.. SOOO MEAN..
James says
Brilliant. Another wonderful example of how hate breeds hate. How did we get from three British morons in Big Brother giving an Indian woman a hard time, to some Americans slagging off Europeans?? And about racism of all things! Because everyone in Europe is the same, right? It’s beggars belief how you can rate the British people on the behaviour of SOME of the individuals at Football matches. Some people may want to read back what they write before actually posting on a website. Is it just me or is anyone else a bit ashamed that the subject of Big Brother was raised in the House of Commons? We shouldn’t give the show the oxygen of publicity that it so clearly craves. I wonder how many extra millions watched the show yesterday hmmmm? I can only hope that the appalling women get the reception they deserve when they leave the House. Although go easy on Danielle, I just think she’s a bit dim and doesn’t intentionally mean to be “racist” or whatever. But that’s just me and I have a weakness for pretty women…
Crayzee says
i tink that jade is a bloody dam ryt bitch for treatin shilpa like that!! The reason people respect shilpa so much is cuz she is a decent women unlike fat jade.
How dare jade call shilpa a liar when jade lied about training and takin that weight of buh instead she realli had lipo suction.
Shes a stupid dumb bimbo which does need to learn her vocab
Chris Laverty says
Guys, just scroll up and see what CJ has written. It caps eveything.
angry brit says
my god what is wrong with all these bloody amricans leaving comments tellling us brits off. You jackass’s do you think we can control what goes on TV or have you not noticed all the outraged comments at the way SHilpa is being treated and by the way you Americans are no better than us, your comments in themselves are racist for generalising all Britain into one racist group that is the definition of racism to think you are superior to all of Britain. MY God what kind of idiots leave these comments about their own superiority at least why didnt vote I guy as stupid and arragont and ignorant as BUsh into control of an ENTIRE COUNTRY.
indian yuppie says
It is very sad to see Shilpa being treated this way but I do not think that a Jane Goody is a true reflection of British society.Racism like any other malice may be present in the odd individual but branding an entire community/population or country racist is wrong……playing the devil’s advocate I am glad that even for a brief period Brits know how the millions of Muslims across the world feel(every one accused of being a terrorist for the sins of a few)….as many of the comments have stated :dont judge the majority by a few sick individuals un fortunately its easier said than done……
English thoughts says
Why ohh why
This is simply another situation that has been blown up and picked up by the media, and a lot of it has been taken out of context. It is purely too people that have an argument and dislike each other, we have all met people that we just don’t like or have personality clashes with. But just because one is Indian and the other is lets say simple English to say it nicely, in other words she just says the first thing that comes to mind. It is picked up on as being racist because she is Indian, if she had this argument with one of the other English women would we really be blowing it up so much, I think not. I feel the media has a lot to answer for in this case and taking comments out of context to fuel the racism row. I hope most people can see through all the hype and see it for what it was just a argument that was initiated by shilpa about stock cubes? PLEASE BRITAN GET REAL AND DON’T PUT RACISIM IN THE MIX, that only fuels segregation
American Woman says
First off Big Brother has not been cancelled in America as someone state above. Americans are a guilty of racism as citizens of any other country. We may be, I am ashamed to admit, just better at pretending to be politically correct in denouncing it publically. I came to this site to get more information about what actually happened since the show was not aired in the US. Before this incident I had only heard of one of the women involved, Shilpa Shetty. After it all blows over She is the only one I will remember for her work in film and her bueaty.
Joe says
I’m white. Shilpa Shetty looks GOOOOOOD! Who cares, she’s hot! I love all people except terrorists, criminals, and cheaters! All others are ok with me. I never heard of Shilpa Shetty until this story and now she’s my computer wallpaper! HAWT!
janey says
Shilpa is gorgeous and aamzing and i hope she wins .. she deserves to
Abid says
The way i see it Big Brother show is no aggresive from time to time. So therefore leave Jade Goody alone, i’m sure she is a luvly nice person. After all jade has been bought up in an asian area so sayin paki is no big deal so don’t turn into one. Good luck Jade all the best. Abid
