I did see CAROLE on Russel Brands show...and to be honest she was quite fair about Jade. However, she is making her money talking about her....which is to be expected. HERE is the report: Carole Malone has described Jade's verbal attacks on Shilpa as "hideous" and "hateful" in her Sunday Mirror column today.
The journalist has said that the scenes broadcast on the show last week were uncomfortable to watch but maintains that the tension had nothing to do with race.
"[Shilpa] was excited at the prospect of working here in England and having girlie nights out with me and Cleo and Jo and Danielle," Carole explained. "And that's why what's happened is so upsetting: 'Is this what England is like?' she asked plaintively the other night after she and Jade had had their worst spat yet.
"Jade had said she was 'so far up her own backside she could smell her own s**t'. And that was the first time I got really angry, the first time I felt a shiver of revulsion. Because no matter how rich or how beautiful or how privileged Shilpa is, no matter how imperious or how bossy she is, she didn't deserve that."
"It wasn't racism," Carole added. "Just because someone with a brown skin is bullied and insulted it doesn't automatically mean she's the victim of racism."
