The Daily Mirror has an interview with Shilpa Shetty which takes up practically a third of the paper. I don’t think this will be the full stop on Shilpa’s story, but what is interesting for a media watcher is The Sun’s front page. The cover has been created as a response to losing the interview […]
The Scotsman 29 Jan 2007 AS TELEVISION reality show Celebrity Big Brother finally ground to a halt last night after nearly a month on air, Shilpa Shetty – the Bollywood actress at the centre of alleged racist bullying by other contestants – was poised to convert her ordeal into a string of lucrative career deals.

I did probably the last noddy on Shilpa Shetty for Radio 5 Live this morning for the breakfast show. What more can be said about this woman who came up with the spontaneous sound bite last night? “This country has given me so much. I just want to thank all of Great Britain for giving […]

This could be the publicity stunt beyond all publicity stunts – are we really to believe that Jade Goody is going to undergo a life changing experience after news that she will visit India to apologise for her supposed racist remarks against Shilpa Shetty. An unattributable source has given this nuggest of information to the […]
I did a total of 32 interviews on Jade and the best are posted up here. There’s the afternoon programme on Radio 4, Saturday’s breakfast show on Radio 5 Live and the Stephen Nolan programme from Saturday evening which turned into a debate on the state of British Television.
