Star Tracked Down In Delhi
Updated: 15:09, Monday February 26, 2007

Jade Goody has spoken exclusively to Sky News after making a surprise visit to India, following the Celebrity Big Brother race row.

The star made headlines around the world when she allegedly racially bullied Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in the reality TV house.

Correspondent Alex Crawford tracked down Goody in New Delhi. Looking relaxed, she said: "Obviously I've said my apologies. I'm here on a private visit and I'm having meetings with certain people."

She arrived in India declaring she was "trying to put the Big Brother stuff behind me".

The star - who chose to travel on the Indian airliner Jet Airways - said she had already spent the first few hours of her trip travelling around the capital as a tourist.

"I am here on a strictly private visit," she told Sky News. "I could have had my entire trip paid for and the people travelling with me could have been paid for but I didn't want that.

"I am paying for the trip and all the expenses myself. I don't want to be seen to be making money out of what happened."

Asked whether she was here to do a deal with an Indian television company in an attempt to rehabilitate her floundering career, her agent Sally Andrews said: "No, this is not a business trip. It is strictly private."

They also denied they would be meeting Indian politicians during the four-day visit.

On being asked whether the row over her treatment of Shetty had "blown over", the former dental nurse said she didn't want to "make light of what had happened" but things were getting better.

She said: "'I only got two hate mail (after the show). People are being all right to me."

Goody and her agent were returning from visiting a monument in New Delhi and remarked there had been a "good response" from the Indian public to her presence.

At the height of the row, the Indian tourist board in London issued an open invitation to her to come to the country to find out for herself about the culture and the people.

Goody has been to India before - to do research on her own brand perfume called Ssssh! The bottling factory is in Gujarat - about 100 miles from Mumbai.

I think its time to forgive Jade for what she did, at least she making the effort unlike the real culprit of the show Danielle Lloyd who's now pretending nothing ever happend.

Jade is just a very uneducated person (as most racists are) from not a very good background.

Maybe she has learnt that her lesson that everyone is human in the end, and that Skin Colour is irrelevant.

There is a much wider problem of racism in this country, and jade just highlighted that through the power of the media,when you look at it she's just a very small snake in a pit full of cobra's.
