Shilpa Shetty looks set to cash in on her new-found fame after winning Celebrity Big Brother.
The Indian film star was virtually unknown outside her own country and was not even the biggest Bollywood star before the reality TV show got underway earlier this month.
But after Jade Goody and other housemates ganged up on her, prompting an international row about racist bullying, Shetty has become flavour of the month.
The 31-year-old won the public vote on Friday night and could now ditch the Indian movie scene for acting roles in the US.
Shetty, who was in tears after being told she had topped the viewers' poll, has reportedly already had some film offers.
Meanwhile, David Gest, star of ITV's I'm a Celebrity. Get Me Out of Here, revealed his close friend Michael Jackson was a big Celebrity Big Brother fan.
Jackson, who's brother Jermaine was taking part, was apparently "glued" to the show throughout its three-week run.
