Dowling dreading race row repeat

Brian Dowling is "dreading" a repeat of the Shilpa Shetty race row in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

The Irish TV host - who is fronting the fly-on-the-wall series when it re-launches on Channel 5 on Thursday - admitted he fears being faced with the same controversy as his predecessor Davina McCall after 'CBB' housemates, the late Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd were accused of racially abusing the Bollywood actress on the show in 2007.
