Jade up for 'Mum of the Year' award

Tweet

She is not winning any awards for race relations - but Jade Goody has made the shortlist for Celebrity Mum of the Year. The disgraced Celebrity Big Brother star sparked an international outcry over her treatment of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. And after leaving the Big Brother house it was several days before she was reunited with sons Bobby, three, and Freddie, two. But Goody 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. Goody is not the only controversial name on the list. Supermodel Kate Moss, mother to four-year-old Lila, and Heather Mills McCartney, who has a three-year-old daughter, Beatrice, by estranged husband Sir Paul, 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, Big Brother host Davina McCall, glamour girl Katie Price (aka Jordan), GMTV's Lorraine Kelly, model Nell McAndrew, footballer's wife Louise Redknapp and WAG Alex Curran. There is no place for last year's winner, Sharon Osbourne. The winner will be announced on March 15. www.grattan.co.uk/celebritymum(Celebrity Mum thanx to yahoo again for this so should blabber mouth jade goody be up for mum of the year
