Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty appeared along with former Miss Great Britain Daniella Lloyd and Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine on Celebrity Big Brother, a TV reality show in UK. Shilpa Shetty, 31, has been included in the list to spice things up in the show for Channel 4 which is likely to be the steamiest so far.
Shilpa has acted in more than 30 Hindi films and her appearance in Celeb Big Brother is bound to be hugely controversial back home in India where public morality is different from what one sees in a Hindi film, analysts said.
However, producers of Big Brother hope to attract more than two million Asians living in the UK. According to the Sun, “The Dinner Date challenge will see housemates including former Miss Great Britain Danielle Lloyd and Shilpa Shetty pairing with the person they find most attractive. They will be fitted with special heart-rate monitors and must seduce, flirt and do whatever it takes to get their partners” pulse rates soaring.
The courtship will be “performed” at a candlelit table for two minutes while fellow housemates look on. The couple with the highest readings win the task. Show bosses are desperate to create another pair of Celebrity Big+Brother lovebirds after Preston and Chantelle’s courtship helped boost ratings.
Jermaine Jackson, a former member of the Jackson 5, and Daniella Lloyd, a glamour model who lost her Miss Great Britain title, were the first to go in.
Legendary film director Ken Russell was next, followed by former S Club 7 singer Jo O’Meara. Singer Leo Sayer, Shilpa Shetty and Carole Malone, Sunday Mirror columnist, followed.
