Celebrity Big Brother stars Shilpa Shetty and Danielle Lloyd are teaming up for an anti-bullying campaign.
The pair have signed up to promote nationwide charity Beat Bullying, which is designed to prevent incidents of bullying between young people.
Danielle was accused of making racist comments about Shilpa when they stayed in the Big Brother house together in January, sparking 50,000 complaints to TV regulator Ofcom. However, Shilpa forgave Lloyd's behaviour and announced that she wanted to move on from the controversy after leaving the house.
A source told the Daily Star: "It's a massive coup for the charity. And it proves Shilpa and Danielle want to move on and put their appearance on Celebrity Big Brother to good use. They are turning their TV nightmare into something positive."
