Shilpa crowned CBB Queen28/01/2007
Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty was tonight voted the winner of Celebrity Big Brother.
Shilpa was the firm favourite to win the contest, considered the most controversial in the show's history after she became the victim of alleged racist bullying by fellow contestant Jade Goody.
She beat the other last remaining contestant singer Jermaine Jackson, the 52-year-old brother of Michael Jackson.
Shilpa let out a lengthy scream when host Davina McCall announced the vote, saying: "Are you kidding me, oh my God. I can't believe it."
Shilpa won tonight with a total of 63 per cent of the public vote.
Runner-up Jermaine reminded her not to cry before he departed, saying: "Kindness is strength."
Bookies had the Indian actress at 1/6 odds-on favourite to win.
At an interview immediately after his eviction, Jermaine told Davina of the race row: "I happen to like Jade. She is who she is. But Shilpa is from another culture and they did not fit."
