The Indian government Thursday clarified that the controversial
British TV star Jade Goody,
accused of hurling racist abuses at Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty,
would not be an official
guest if she visits the country, but could come and 'cleanse' herself.
Goody, who has reportedly approached the Indian high commission in
Britain for a visa after the
country's tourism office invited her, can visit India 'just like any
other tourist', said Tourism
Minister Ambika Soni.

Was she the one who, in a general knowledge quiz, said that Winston

Some quotes:

Jade asks Spencer if he punts boats on the River Thames.
Spencer: "No, I work in Cambridge."
Jade: "I know I'm from Bermondsey and I know that's London, but where is
Cambridge?"
Spencer: "It's in East Anglia."
Jade: "Where's East Angular [sic] though? I thought that was abroad."
