Washington, June 8 (ANI): Jade Goody, who was in the news for making racial comments against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in the reality show Big Brother, has been voted the worst ever housemate of the TV game show in a poll to coincide with the start of the ninth edition of the show.

In a poll commissioned by Endsleigh Insurance Services Ltd, almost half of the 2,000 respondents named Goody the worst ever resident of the Big Brother house, reports Contactmusic.

Goody, along with former S Club member Jo O'Meara and model Danielle Lloyd, was accused of racist bullying of Shetty, leading to record complaints for 'Celebrity Big Brother' and eliciting an apology from the 26-year-old.

Aspiring WAG Charley Uchea stood second with 14 per cent of votes, while other former housemates to have featured in the top ten included Michelle Bass from Big Brother five, and Nick Bateman from the first series.
