Carole worried Jackiey would turn violent

Carole has claimed that she worried about the possibility of Shilpa being physically attacked by Jackiey.

The journalist has criticised Jade's mother for her treatment of Shilpa and admitted that she fears the Bollywood actress will continue to be targeted by the remaining members of the Goody family.

"Jade's mum Jackiey hated Shilpa and constantly referred to her as "The Indian" which I found horribly insulting," Carole told the Sunday Mirror. "Jackiey made life purposely difficult for Shilpa - shouting at her for no reason, criticising her cooking, attacking her for being bossy.

"Most of the time Shilpa kept her cool because, as she says, in India you don't shout at your elders - you try to show them respect, a word Jackiey clearly doesn't understand or deserve. There was a point where Jermaine and I were frightened Jackiey might physically attack Shilpa.

"But the funny thing is there were days I actually liked Jackiey. I saw her vulnerability. I knew she'd had a difficult life and was jealous of Shilpa (who wouldn't be?) but her way of handling that was cruel and unnecessary. And I fear for Shilpa now because it's obvious Jade is hell-bent on giving her a hard time."
