Goody was reportedly taken off the guest list for Life in a Metro by Shetty's publicist Max Clifford after originally being invited to the event.

Lloyd said: "Jade wasn't allowed to come because security were afraid the crowd would get out of control, but Shilpa invited me."

Shetty, wearing a RockyF gown said: "This is the first ever Leicester Square premiere for an Indian movie. It's something that I once dreamed of but never imagined would happen."

She said of the film, which features a collection of stores set in Mumbai: "Audiences are ready and looking for something different, for interesting cinema."

Asked about whether she would move to the UK she said: "I love my country. I am very proud to be Indian."

Shetty admitted the Big Brother race row had helped her career saying: "It made me a stronger person and a more famous person of course."

Lloyd wearing a dress by Eric Way said: "Shilpa invited me here. I've come to support her tonight. It's my first Bollywood movie and I'm really excited."

The model said she had a good reception from fans outside, despite her reputation taking a nose dive after appearing on the Channel 4 reality show.

"Everyone has been fantastic. Everyone has been really supportive," she said.

Lloyd added that she was enjoying the single life after being dumped by her second footballer boyfriend.

Shetty was an unknown before she went on to win Celebrity Big Brother after being ganged up on by the trio of female housemates.

She recently caused controversy again in India when Hindu nationalists took offence to Hollywood star Richard Gere openly planting kisses on her cheek at an aids awareness event.

Since the reality show Shetty has met the Queen, been offered a part in a musical, is bringing out her own perfume and has been inundated with a string of offers for commercials, modelling work and book deals.

Goody has split with her agent while O'Meara became a virtual recluse. Meanwhile Lloyd has attempted to make a come back, getting photographed in revealing outfits coming out of nightclubs.
