LONDON (Reuters) - Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty clinched a public vote on Sunday to win "Celebrity Big Brother" after her treatment on the British television show sparked an international row amid fears of racist bullying.

Shetty, whose victory will be seen as a triumph for racial equality, beat 13 other contestants, including those who were accused of tormenting her.

"Are you kidding me? Oh my god," said the 31-year-old actress when she heard of her victory after 26 days cooped up in a special house under 24-hour surveillance.

U.S. singer Jermaine Jackson, older brother of Michael Jackson, came second followed by actor Dirk Benedict, who starred in the 1980s television series "The A-Team".

Earlier, model Danielle Lloyd -- one of the personalities at the heart of the racism row -- exited the set as well as two other people who were also in the final.
