Viewers believe that Shilpa Shetty, a Bollywood star, is being victimised on the reality show. She has been called a “dog” and contestants have complained about her touching their food. The pop singer Jo O’Meara declared that Indians were thin because they were always ill as a result of undercooking their food. Shetty’s accent has been mocked and she was asked if she lived in a shack. Channel 4 has denied claims, which spread rapidly on websites, that Shetty had been called a “paki”.

Is Jo O'Meara that ugly, younger Pat Butcher look-alike? LOL
Maybe she's a touch envious of the asian beauty's looks?

Well, I like Shilpa and I hate Jade, as you have all probably guessed
Let's hope BB do something about braindead, she deserves a good smack in the face for her behaviour

You know what i dont get?
The fact that the media are saying "Is Shilpa being racially abused? No shes just being bullied"
Oh, thats ok then!!!!
I cant believe all the media publicity bullying has had over the last 6 months and now theyre saying, its ok. Setting a great example to the kids watching it.
This country sucks!

"sub concense" racism.i know there not the brightest bunch but people are genrally getting more pissed off with the ethnics genrally trouble is shilpas just another indian snob nothing more ! not a ranting muslim making demands. shilpas not even bringing out the racist card yet when she probably has the right to. maybe?

From what I have seen of the programme she is a natural born victim. Some people just need to be smacked about a bit. Take 'hectic' on here for example.
