You would think that Jade Goody had courted enough controversy in her time, but after her new reality TV show aired on Living last night some of her comments have brought in complaints from the gay community.

Former Big Brother and Celebrity Big brother contestant, who is now being treated for cervical cancer, Goody complained that people would assume that she was gay if they say her with: “Timberland [boots], baggy jeans, and a big shirt with short hair or a bald head”.

TV presenter and gay rights supporter Amy Lamé branded her comments “distasteful”, telling The Mirror: “Does she really think that’s what all lesbians look like? It’s a completely old-fashioned, clichéd view. Does she really think she can get away with being homophobic like that?

“She’s just managed to offend and insult not just lesbians but any woman with short hair including those who’ve lost their hair from disease, including cancer.”

She added: “You’d think she’d have more important things to think about than making a reality TV show and worrying about her hair.”
