Danielle Lloyd, who was one of the terrible trio at the centre of a race row against Bollywood actress, Shilpa Shetty, is due to present an award at a local entertainment magazine's award ceremony tomorrow night. The event will take place in the Waterfront Hall.

The 23-year-old's actions alongside those of Jade Goody and Jo O'Meara triggered more than 40,000 complaints to media regulator Ofcom. Ms Lloyd was seen to tell the Indian actress to go home.

However, Margaret Donaghy from the Multi-Cultural Resource Centre thinks, though, the presence of Ms Lloyd alone, FATE magazine may be offending minority groups.

She said: "Through asking Ms Lloyd to this event, FATE magazine has blatantly not taken the views of the ethnic minority communities in Northern Ireland into consideration.

"They obviously have not thought about them in their decision. It is apparent their target audience is certainly not aimed at women from ethnic minorities in particular."

In a statement, FATE magazine acknowledged the fact that the former Miss UK issued an apology for her actions in the Big Brother House.

It read: "Danielle has already made an official apology. We respect this and are pleased she is attending the FATE Awards. FATE believes everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves."

Ms Donaghy, on the other hand, believes the model could do a lot more to make up for her misdemeanours.

She said: "Working on behalf of minority ethnic communities and speaking personally I would not accept her apology.

"For what they did in that house they would need to make up for it in some other way. For instance, we recently had Jade Goody visiting India. But a one-off apology - the feeling in here (Multi-Cultural Resource Centre) is it is just an easy way out for her."

The FATE Awards aim to recognise all that is cool in Northern Ireland and to celebrate the vibrant social scene all over the province.
