BOLLYWOOD star Shilpa Shetty is paving her way to become a familiar face on British television screens.
The 33-year-old Indian actress plans to spend more time in the UK after buying a house in Surrey and is in discussions about future roles.
Her publicist Max Clifford said: "I am talking to several TV people about potential work for Shilpa Shetty.
"I have had several discussions with various TV executives in the last couple of months.
"There is a lot of interest in her.
"She is looking to spend more time over here because she likes it."
Shetty, who has appeared in numerous Indian-language films, recently bought a home in Weybridge's St George's Hill estate with boyfriend, Raj Kundra.
Her first foray into the British media came in 2007 when she won a controversial series of Celebrity Big Brother.
It attracted global attention when Jade Goody and other housemates were accused of racism and bullying towards the glamorous star.
But Shetty and Goody were later reconciled and the pair became friends.
They appeared together on the Indian version of the show last year, when Goody received the news she had cervical cancer.
Shetty paid tribute to the mother-of-two after she died at her home in Upshire, Essex, last Sunday at the age of 27.
The actress said: "Jade put up a brave fight, lost her battle with cancer but won many a heart with her courage and how she dealt with it."
Shetty also credited Goody - the ultimate reality TV star - with boosting her profile, describing her as the "architect of my fame".
