Jade Goody is apparently being consoled by Shilpa Shetty as she battles with cancer.

The pair very publically fell out when they were on 2007’s Celebrity Big Brother, and accusations of bullying and racism were levelled against Jade. However, according to Now magazine, the pair have now “put their differences behind them.”

Jade was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August while she was appearing on the Indian version of Celeb BB which was hosted by Shilpa.

“We met up in India, then [Shilpa's] been calling me to see how I am,” Jade told Now, adding: “Next time she’s here, we’re going to go for something to eat.”

The 27 year old recently underwent chemotherapy and a hysterectomy as part of her treatment for the potentially fatal disease.
