Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has said that he is "delighted" that Jade was voted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house last night.
"I think everyone is delighted that we got the result we did last night," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "You can imagine the uproar there would have been in this country if, say, Keira Knightley had been being abused in a Big Brother house in India."
Of the controversy, he added: "The main argument that my administration makes to attract firms to come to London is that this is a safe city which welcomes people of different cultures and therefore something like this cuts right across the work we're trying to do."
