London: The brouhaha over racism in the Celebrity Big Brother house has died down, but Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty continues to make news by sashaying across Britain and holding forth on the British bold and the beautiful, including on Prime Minister Tony Blair.

After Shilpa distracted the attention of MPs in the House of Commons by sitting in the visitors' gallery and meeting Blair on Thursday, she travelled to Leicester, a city in the east Midlands with a large minority of Indian origin.

By all accounts, she is clearly enjoying her post-reality show peregrinations across Britain.

For much of the time this week, she has been chaperoned by labour MP from Leicester of Goan origin, Keith Vaz.

In the process, Vaz invited snide remarks in political circles of basking in reflected glory, appearing alongside Shilpa in television appearances and elsewhere.

In between, Shilpa and her mother Sunanda grapple with the continuing stream of sponsorship and other offers, many of them running into hundreds of thousands of pounds, including to present television shows in Britain.

In Leicester, she was expected to be given a rousing welcome, not only because her treatment on the reality show touched a raw nerve among the large minority of Asians there, but also because most of them voted for her victory. And Asians there did not disappoint her.

A large number of her fans screamed for her as she made a fashionably late entrance in the Indian-dominated Belgrave area as she was whisked out of a sports car in front of the adoring crowds.
