Shilpa ‘shocked’ as Jade pockets £100,000

Shilpa Shetty expressed her shock last night as Jade Goody entered India’s Big Brother house. The glamorous show host introduced the chav-tastic reality star to Indian audiences of Big Boss 2, the Indian version of Big Brother. It was the first time the two were reunited since their headline-hitting race row. Shilpa said, “She’s going in as someone who has had misconceptions about our country. I hope Jade learns first hand about our culture and how wonderful our people are.” Jade’s been paid a £100,000 fee for appearing on the show.

Undertakers bury body alive
Two undertakers put one of their rivals in a coffin and burned him alive after a business deal went wrong.

He and partner Friedrich Peters, 53, face trial in Erlangen, Germany.
