But Jade has been chosen as a contender for the Grattan Celebrity Mum Of The Year award in a public vote by more than 10,000 people.

"Her big mouth got her into trouble on Big Brother but the nation still thinks Jade Goody is a mum to admire," said a spokesman for the awards.

Jade is not the only controversial name on the list.

Supermodel Kate Moss, mother to four-year-old Lila, and Heather Mills, who has a three-year-old daughter, Beatrice, by estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney, are also included.

And there are two royal entries in the form of the Duchess of York and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Victoria Beckham is another nominee, along with fellow Spice Girls Mel B and Geri Halliwell.

In all there are 20 nominees for the prize, now in its seventh year.

Other celebrities on the list include Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly, pop singer Jamelia and glamour girl Katie Price (aka Jordan).

There is no place for last year’s winner, Sharon Osbourne.

Voting continues at www.grattan.co.uk/celebritymum and the winner will be announced on March 15.

Jade and Shilpa in new war of words? - Mar 2 007
Are Jade and Shilpa rowing again? The duo have apparently had another disagreement after Jade said she’d turned down an invitation to the Bollywood star’s home and Shilpa denied she’d asked her.

The 25-year-old told the Sun: "I’ve been informed Shilpa has invited me but unfortunately I have commitments with charities. If the offer is still open in the future I’d like to see her."

However Shilpa’s spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar said she had never been invited.

"Shilpa is not interested in being ’used’ as a PR tool, to Jade Goody," he said. "It’s obvious she’s here for media mileage."

Jade is currently in Delhi trying to soothe relations after she was accused of racist bullying on the Channel 4 show - but it seems her visit with boyfriend Jack and her two sons is still failing to impress the Indian people.

Journalist Amit Sharma told the tabloid: "We see it as a damage limitation exercise. Many here have been infuriated by it."

Jade visit sparks chaos - Mar 1 2007
Jade’s latest attempt to try and win over the Indian people apparently backfired when women and children were trampled in the crush during a photoshoot.

The 25-year-old paid a visit to the Railway Project in the Mayapouri district of Delhi - the organisation supports street children who are often forced to scavenge for a living beside the railway tracks.

The embattled Celebrity Big Brother star stayed inside the small hut for 45 minutes but, according to the Sun, no provision was made for around 50 children who were left outside in the 30C heat.

A crush soon formed and the paper reports that Mum Anu, 26, who was knocked to the ground with her three-month-old baby, said: "My baby is hurt - who is this awful person? She is not welcome here if she is going to behave like this."

Biography

Big Brother’s most famous contestant was born in Bermondsey, where she worked as a dental nurse before becoming Britain’s favourite reason to stay in school.

Jade caused a tabloid frenzy the minute she walked into the BB house with her idiotic questions and unbelievable lack of common sense. She asked if East Anglia was near Tunisia and if Cambridge was in London, she took her clothes off to reveal her ’kebab’, administered the infamous PJ BJ and got a minging verruca.

The tabloids branded her a fat pig and she bitched about all of her fellow housemates openly but somehow she made it through to the final four and gained thousands of fans along the way. When Jade left the house, she was interviewed on any and every chat show in the country, appeared on the cover of Heat five times (she was even their biggest selling cover star) and even had a Channel 4 follow up documentary, What Jade Did Next, made about her in the weeks following her eviction.

Having dropped three dress sizes in matter of months, the Bermondsey girl made one of the most successful exercise videos ever, even beating skinny Geri Halliwell’s yoga workout effort to the top DVD chart spot. In the meantime Jade fell in love with Jeff Brazier, Shipwrecked’s Essex wide boy and became pregnant with her first son, Bobby. Jeff and Jade have been on an off ever since, but have recently opened a tanning salon and beauty parlour together following Jade’s qualification as a beauty therapist.

Jade Goody remains a reality TV show legend most recently appearing in Celebrity Wife Swap with Millionaire cheat Major Charles Ingram while heavily pregnant and hormonal and Back To Reality, Five’s flop Big Brother rip off in which Jade showed the nation she hadn’t learnt anything new, asking James Hewitt if he’d been ’sworded’ and if wood pigeons were like ferrets.
