Former Celebrity Big brother winner, Shilpa Shetty is hoping to fly in and visit dying Jade Goody at her home this week.

The pair met on the Channel 4 reality TV show where Jade was accused of displaying racist and bullying behaviour towards the Bollywood star, however the pair are said to have struck up a friendship in recent months.

“Shilpa has been keeping in touch with her for months and they are good friends,” Max Clifford told the BBC.

“She desperately wants to see her if she’s well enough.” Clifford added that Goody was comfortable, but “very weak”.

“She has deteriorated, she is very weak,” said Clifford. “We are on the edge of a precipice.”
