Jackiey Budden, mother of that sweet young thing, Jade Goody amnd former celebrity Big Brother housemate has been forced to pay back £250,000 of benefit money which she claimed fraudulently.

Daughter Jade has defended her saying:

“She made a mistake. It was never done deliberately, it was a matter of not knowing.

“Some people are educated, some people aren’t. Some people don’t know what to do and some people do. It was clearly by not knowing.

“However the best thing she did was paying it back. She’s said ‘Sorry I’ve made a mistake and I didn’t realise I had to contact you. This is how I much I owe, here you go’.

“She’s made a mistake, they’ve caught her making that mistake and she’s paid the penalty. She’s not going to court. The social security department have investigated, she’s admitted her mistake and they don’t find it necessary to take it any further.”

She may be stupid, but even Jackiey must know that you can’t work when you’re on the dole!

Celebrity Big Brother winner, Shilpa Shetty, will be running the London Marathon in a bid to raise money for charity.

Shilpa will be running with Pimlico Plumbers in support of Water Aid, a charity that provides clean water to some of India’s poorest villages.

Shetty, 31, told the Daily Mirror: “I’m excited but also nervous. I keep fit with dancing and working out but this is a big test.

“The Pimlico girls have been helping me with training. They’ll want me to fix drains next!”

Lets hope she does better than Jade Goody did last year….how many miles did she manage before going off in search of the nearest kebab shop?

Danielle Lloyd has taken her revenge over Teddy Sheringham - by cosying up with a rival footballer in a London nightclub, in full view of her ex.

According to The Sun, witnesses in the Funky Buddha were stunned as Danielle danced and snogged Charlton Athletic’s Marcus Bent in front of West Ham’s Teddy Sheringham.

“When she saw Teddy she carried on kissing Marcus. There’s no doubt she did this to wind up Teddy. It worked” a friend told the paper..

Sheringham dumped the disgraced former Miss GB after the controversy storm of Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

When Shilpa Shetty entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in January she was virtually unknown in Britain. Emerging three weeks later, she had become one of the most recognisable and high-profile faces in the UK, having been at the centre of a media furore. But who is the real Shilpa Shetty?

This documentary goes behind the headlines to reveal the Bollywood star’s rise to fame. Bagging her first lead role at the age of 19, Shilpa has appeared in almost 50 films. She has campaigned to raise awareness of HIV-Aids and against the use of wild animals in circuses, and she was chosen to be the ambassador of Romanov Vodka for her status as an aspirational icon, despite not drinking.

Hertfordshire police have announced today that there will be no prosecutions made in connections with the recent Big Brother racism row.

The Crown Prosecution Service has decided that what occurred was “clearly offensive” but “not criminal”.

Hertfordshire Police said: “Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, it was felt that it would not be in the public interest to effect arrests or to pursue footage through the courts.”

Detective Inspector Jeeta Aulak, who ran the inquiry, said: “The investigation was balanced, considering all complaints received.

“During inquiries, we liaised with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE). This was to ensure that all issues were considered and responded to.

“The CRE were happy with our response and investigation.”

Assistant Chief Constable Simon Parr said: “Our investigation has now concluded and a file has been handed across to the CPS.

“In the absence of complaint from any of the housemates regarding behaviour - including behaviour that was not broadcast - the CPS has concluded that whilst what occurred was clearly offensive, it was not criminal.”

Danielle Lloyd is in the papers AGAIN today, this time telling of her new stalker who has terrified her into installing panic buttons at her home and consulting the police.

Surprisingly (?) the mystery man fled before the police could get there and left Danielle living in fear.

Ah well, at least Danielle got some publicity from her awful experience…silver lining and all that.

I have just been reading Jo O’Meara’s interview featured in todays News Of The World.

I think it was awful that a girl was driven to making a suicide attempt over a TV show and I do pity Jo and recognise that she is in a sorry state.

Howver a few things strike me as not quite right.

First of all she comments that after her failed suicide attempt, she decided not to go to hospital because:

“I knew if I went to hospital it would get out and everyone would know. Things would be a million times worse, and I couldn’t face that.”

Well selling your story to The News Of The World certainly didn’t help you keep the secret did it Jo?

Jo also claimed that the public’s perception of her was based on bad editing on the CBB editors part. I can see how the editors can manipulate a programme, I know that is common practice. However Jo said some awful things, the producers did not make those up. The whole row between Jade and Shilpa was completely unedited, we saw Jo blatantly laugh in Shilpa’s face when she asked for help…that cannot be blamed on editing, that was Jo being Jo.

Jo has been badly treated by the Big Brother staff. They used her and left her out to dry, however she needs to take some responsibilty for her actions. Jo O’Meara may not deserve to be the national hate figure that she has become, certainly things have been blown out of proportion. But Jo did behave badly. She was nasty and bitchy and showed a very bad side of herself. If she had the guts to admit that much maybe I wouldn’t dislike her so much.

Move on Jo, Danielle certainly has.

There have been some suggestions that Ordinary Boys Preston’s marriage to Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton, may already be in trouble. Apparently Preston is still in touch with his ex-fiancee Camille, even though he broke up with her last year so he could be with Chantelle.

Are the two just friends? What do you think?

Danielle Lloyd has revealed that she has finished with footballing boyfriend Teddy Sheringahm because of his roving eye and also his lack of support during her whole Big brother ordeal.

A friend of Danielle’s told the Daily Star:

“Of course she still loves him, he was the love of her life and she would have happily married him.

“She has tried to play by his rules, but she has also had time to think herself. And she now knows that she needed more from him.

“She was totally devastated that he didn’t see her when she first came out of Big Brother.

“And then she found out the man she loves did not even step in to defend her while she was on the show.”

Well done Danielle. A guy that can run away when the first problem arises, isn’t worth bothering with in my book!

On a recent holiday to Dubai, shamed model and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, Danielle Lloyd has decided to ditch the modelling and become a fashion designer instead.

Danielle told Britain’s Heat magazine: “I’m in the process of buying my own business with my best friend Laura, so hopefully that will be launched and doing well.”

People train for years to enter this career…..just because you like wearing clothes doesn’t mean you can make a living at designing them does it?

Jade Goody has flown out to India in a bid to save her reputation after the Big Brother racism scandal.

She arrived in New Delhi today with her agent Sally Andrews and UK talent scout Jazz Barton who said: “We’re very happy with the reception we’ve received. We were given a warm welcome at the airport and we look forward to travelling in India.”

I wish Jade the best of luck and hope that she returns home in a better and calmer state of mind than she has been in recent weeks and months.

Before the Celebrity Big Brother fiasco, Jade Goody recorded a sketch with Frank Skinner and Jack Dee as part of this years comic relief effort.

However, the Comic Relief team have announced that the sketch will not now be shown as part of BBC’s Comic Relief event and it seems as though Miss Goody will not feature anywhere on the show this year.

In a statement Comic Relief said: “Recent events have overtaken us and the show, which was recorded last November, now feels out of date.

“Red Nose Day is all about raising money and anything that could potentially detract from this is not helpful.”

Can’t really say I’m surprised…can you?

After unexpectedly bumping into each other in Essex nightclub, Nu Bar, Danielle Lloyd and jade Goody certainly livened up the evening for lookers on.

As soon as Jade set eyes on Danielle, she reportedly stomped over and unleashed her famous temper, accusing Danielle of running away from the trouble and leaving her to take all the backlash.

A witness told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Jade looked pretty angry. She just marched up to Dani and started poking her finger at her face.

“You could tell from Jade’s body language that she was furious and being really aggressive.

“The bar was noisy and you couldn’t hear everything. But she clearly thinks it’s not fair that Dani seems to have escaped pretty unscathed while she’s been going through hell.”

We reported yesterday that Jade has begun attending anger management sessions at The Priory again, looks like she’ll be needing them!

Princes William and Harry have decided to invite Celebrity Big Brother winnr along to their mothers memorial concert later this year as a guest of honour.

An insider told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “William and Harry thought Shilpa was amazing in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and very much hope she will take part in the big day.”

If Shilpa attends she will be joined by Elton John and Duran Duran, at the Wembley Stadium concert in aid of homelessness charity Centrepoint on July 1.

I just came across a petition against Jade Goody’s continued support in Heat Magazine, I have yet to add my signature, but it seems that quite a few of the British public already have.

The petition states:

A petition against ‘Heat Magazine’s’ continued support and endorsement of self confessed ‘racist bully’ Jade Goody, who victimised Shilpa Shetty in this year’s edition of Celebrity Big Brother.

By continuing to support and promote Ms Goody, Heat Magazine is sending out an appalling message to young people that they can racially victimise others and continue to have a prosperous, media-limelit career. Ms Goody’s career solely grew from the promotion and publication of such magazines as Heat.

A signature to this petition is an affirmation of agreement that self confessed racist bullies should not be seen to prosper from their appalling conduct, as Jade Goody is through the continued promotion and support of Heat Magazine.

We, the undersigned, call on Heat Magazine to send out the right message to young people in this country and cease the continued support and promotion of self-confessed racist bully Jade Goody.

If you agree that magazines and tabloids shouldn’t be rewarding Jade and Co for their appalling behaviour, make sure to add your name to the list.
