Jade Goody arrives in India

Disgraced reality TV star Jade Goody has arrived in India to attempt to make amends for her behaviour on Celebrity Big Brother.

The 25-year-old caused an international controversy earlier this year when she was accused of displaying bullying, racist behaviour towards Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on the reality TV show.

She later checked herself into rehab after she collapsed at her Essex home.

Discussing her visit to India, she said: "I'm here on a private visit, for four days. People have been really nice out here. It's private and there are no cameras or anything. I've paid for the trip myself. That's all I want to say.

"People are being so nice. I like the food here. Everyone knows I love an Indian."

Goody has journeyed to India alone, leaving her boyfriend Jack Tweed and her two sons, Freddy and Bobby, at home.
