Celebrity Big Brother draws to a conclusion later with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty favourite to win.This year's show was threatening to plunge into obscurity until a disagreement between two of the contestants exploded into a huge race row that engulfed the nation.Even India was drawn into the controversy after Shilpa was subjected to alleged racist bullying by fellow contestants including Jade Goody.Jade sparked allegations of racism by calling her Shilpa Poppadom while her mother Jackiey claimed she could not pronounce the star's name and instead referred to her as "the Indian".The row prompted a record number of complaints - more than 40,000 - to media watchdog Ofcom.© Independent Television News Limited 2007.
