Many people have wondered what Jade Goody would get paid for her first exclusive interview since leaving the house. Many figures were mentioned, Radio One’s Aled Haydn Jones even thought Jade would get in the region of one million pounds.

But in a move of PR genius, Jade has donated her interview fee from todays piece in the News Of The World to charity and has not profited from it at all.

Jade’s £50,000 fee will go to charity—along with every penny of her £50,000 Big Brother fee. The £100,000 total will be divided between good causes nominated by Shilpa and Jade.

In the interview Jade admits that many of her comments were indeed racist and that she, Danielle and Jo are guilty of bullying and intimidating behaviour. She stated:

“I hold my hand up to my comments and to people reading them or hearing them and thinking I’m a racist. I can understand why those words would look racist because I didn’t get on particularly well with Shilpa. It’s offensive to her and her culture. I didn’t think poppadom was a racist word. I now know that things that I may not think are racist can actually be racist. It’s my own fault for not knowing enough about other people’s cultures.”

When Jade was told that Shilpa has at one point said that she thought she was a victim of racism in the house Jade commented:

“She was a victim of bullying and racism, yes. I can understand why she would have said that.”

However Jade claims that she did not realise that she could be so intimidating, and blames a lot of her reactions to her past.

“My anger when I watched it on the screen shocked me. I didn’t like it. I didn’t know that my presence could be so intimidating or bullying.

I don’t want that, but I don’t know any other way to argue.

I’ve never blamed my past for anything I’ve done, but I don’t know any other way. My only way to argue is to shout—to get louder and louder so that I can’t hear what they’re saying.

It’s the way I am. I didn’t know it was a problem until I watched it. I don’t want people to be scared of me, or think that I’m intimidating.”

So what do you think? Do you believe that Jade is truly repentant or is she trying to wriggle out of the sticky situation that she has found herself in?
