JADE Goody fans were left “uncomfortable” as Channel 4 aired the Big Brother Shilpa Shetty race row in the second part of their tragic documentary.
Emotional viewers broke down as they watched the second instalment of JADE: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain this evening.
The three-part series premiered last week, documentingJade’slife ahead of her heartbreaking death in 2009 at the age of 27 following a battle with cervical cancer.
Tonight’s episode focused on Jade’sCelebrity Big Brotherstint in 2007, which saw the reality star,Danielle Lloyd, andJo O’Meara, get accused of racism against Bollywood starShilpa.
The programme aired several of the shock scenes in full, including the moment that Jade referred to the Indian actress as “Shilpa Papadum” – and laughed at her for bleaching her facial hair.
Viewers were shocked by the resurfaced row, taking to social media to share their discomfort.
One wrote: “F*** me, that was uncomfortable to watch.”
Another added: “This is really, really uncomfortable viewing.”
A third said: “It’s not pleasant watching this back.”
#jadegoodyThis is an uncomfortable watch a second time round. I’m not convinced she was ever racist, uneducated an ill informed & used by the media. Reality TV has got a lot to answer for.

She recalled: “One night she felt really scared because, obviously, she knew she was going very soon.
“She said: ‘Mum I feel like they’re coming to get me. They’re coming to get me. It’s going all dark’.
“She said: ‘Is that because I was so bad in Big Brother?’.”
Jade, who grew up in Bermondsey, South London, went on CBB after coming fourth in Big Brother in 2002.
She was the first BB star to become a millionaire and had a successful TV career before the racism row.
Speaking of Jade’s fall from grace,hostDavina McCall, told the film: “I felt such enormous joy at Jade’s popularity.

She left behind her two children with exJeff Brazier, Bobby and Freddie, now aged 16 and 14.
