"Perhaps they didn’t know how to contact me."

Towers of London frontman Donny Tourette, Dirk Benedict, Jermaine Jackson and Cleo Rocos were all at the central London party, with presenters Davina McCall and Dermot O’Leary.

In today’s interview for Reveal magazine, Shilpa also dismisses rumours of a reunion Channel 4 show with Jade.

"I am no Samaritan - I’m just human.

"If anybody thinks I can resurrect somebody’s career or character, they’re wrong, it’s just not possible for me to do. If I need to speak to Jade, I don’t need to do it as a publicity stunt - I’ll do it in private, between ourselves," she said.

The Bollywood beauty admitted she was suspicious when Jade suddenly apologised to her on the show.

She said: "I was because I didn’t expect it.

"Maybe CBB had asked her about it and it dawned on her."

She added: "I haven’t heard from any of the girls since leaving the house.

"They haven’t tried to contact me. I think at the moment, they are probably too ashamed to face me after everything that has gone on."

Police ’have more evidence of CBB racism’ 1 Feb - 2007

Police have been handed further information that suggests Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty was the subject of racist abuse in the Celebrity Big Brother house, it was reported today.

According to the Sun newspaper, notes scrawled on the back of a production running order for the Channel 4 show claim "some dodgy clips do exist. We are f*****".

The paper said the notes allege Shilpa, who emerged as the show’s winner on Sunday, was the target of a racist slur in one incident.

It also alleges a song was sung in the house using the words: "This house used to be happy, until that f****** ...."

The evidence was taken to the police by an anonymous tipster, the Sun claimed.

A Hertfordshire Police spokeswoman confirmed they had been handed some further information, which they will look into as part of their continuing investigation but gave no details.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said there was no evidence in their log of the word being used.

She said: "We have not been contacted by the police about this matter or seen a copy of the handwritten note that we understand has been passed to them."


Shipa: CBB a battle of right v wrong - Jan 30 2007
Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty today said the alleged racist bullying in the house was not a battle of race, but between "right and wrong".

She told the Daily Mirror she had no idea the bullying was so bad until she watched the complete footage of her ordeal.

And she said bullies Jade Goody and Jo O’Meara must seek "professional help" to overcome their problems.

She told the newspaper: "I’d no idea it was so bad. They are so mean. Why didn’t someone stop them? It hurts me deeply. Look at me ... I am shaking.

"This is so petty, so juvenile, so nasty. There is hatred there and that hurts deeply. Only now, this is sinking in.

"I am someone who has never been judgmental, but Jade’s behaviour is obnoxious, very aggressive, nasty and suffocating.

"You can see in my body language how much it has hurt me. I’m sorry my family and their families had to see this.

"My mum said she was worried I was going to be attacked - and now I can see why."

Talking about the divides between the housemates, Shilpa added: "It was not a battle between brown and white. It was a battle between right and wrong. And right won.

Biography

Shilpa Shetty was born in Tamil Nadu, India, on June 8, 1975, to models, Surendra Shetty and Sunanda Shetty.

At the age of 15 she followed in her parents footsteps and signed up to a modelling agency with the goal of becoming a ramp model.  However at the age of 17 she took her first steps on to the silver screen when she was offered the leading role in the film Gaata Rahe Mera Dil opposite Rahul Roy. Sadly the film never got completed and was stalled, but she went on to accept a role in Baazigar, opposite Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. This became a super hit and Shilpa earned a Filmfare nomination for Best New Comer.

Following her initial success, Shilpa wasn’t so lucky on the movie side of business and her next two films flopped. It wasn’t until Main Khiladi Tu Anari that she caught the eye of Bollywood. Her solo song featured in the movie propelled her to fame and she quickly became the hottest thing in India.

After more unlucky production choices and more flops, Shilpa finally sealed her fate in celebrity-dom and redefined herself as a quality actress as well as a Bollywood beauty when she signed to appear in Phir Milenge. The movie dealt with the subject of HIV/AIDS and Shilpa’s character was HIV positive. For this role she earned praise from the Giant International Award and Indo-Pak’s Young Achiever.

Since then she has gone onto star in a number of successful hits, has become an AIDS activist and represents PETA in India.

Her most recent escapade, as a contestant in Celebrity Big Brother, has brought her international fame as well as sparking a global discussion on racism in the modern world.
