Shilpa: I can't resurrect Jade's career

She was noticeable by her absence from the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party - but Shilpa Shetty says she was not even invited.

Jade Goody did not make the bash because she was in rehab, while Jo O'Meara was locked away in a hotel speaking to therapists.

But Shilpa, 31, said: "I knew nothing about the party. I did not snub it, I didn't get an invite. Perhaps they didn't know how to contact me."

Towers of London frontman Donny Tourette, Dirk Benedict, Jermaine Jackson and Cleo Rocos were all at the central London party last month, with presenters Davina McCall and Dermot O'Leary.

In today's interview for Reveal magazine, Shilpa also dismisses rumours of a reunion Channel 4 show with Jade.

"I am no Samaritan - I'm just human. If anybody thinks I can resurrect somebody's career or character, they're wrong, it's just not possible for me to do.

"If I need to speak to Jade, I don't need to do it as a publicity stunt - I'll do it in private, between ourselves," she said.

The Bollywood beauty admitted she was suspicious when Jade suddenly apologised to her on the show. She said: "I was because I didn't expect it. It was very unlike Jade to apologise.

"Maybe CBB had asked her about it and it dawned on her." She added: "I haven't heard from any of the girls since leaving the house.

"They haven't tried to contact me. I think at the moment, they are probably too ashamed to face me after everything that has gone on. And also very, very scared. I don't want them to be scared."

The singleton said she had not ruled out an arranged marriage, but added: "Of course, even if it was an arranged marriage, I would still have to approve and fall in love with the man before I agreed to marry him."

In a separate interview, Celebrity Big Brother bully Danielle Lloyd has told Star magazine she did not know the future of her relationship with Teddy Sheringham.

"It's neither here nor there at the moment ... I don't know what the future of the relationship is ... I haven't been able to see him yet," she said.

Danielle said Jo was wrong not to apologise and added: "I've definitely come out of it a stronger person ... I feel like I've got nothing left - my world has come crashing down around me."
