Prince Azim of Brunei has given shamed 'Celebrity Big Brother' star Jade Goody a $6 million diamond ring.
The prince and Jade - who famously started an international race row earlier this year with her racist remarks to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on the Channel 4 reality show - have formed an unlikely friendship after meeting on the London party circuit.
Jade, 26, told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "I have become quite friendly with the Prince of Brunei. He wanted to meet me, we met and got on like a house on fire. He gave me a ring and it is huge, full of diamonds.
"He said, 'Take this'; I was like, 'I can't'. I haven't got it valued yet but he had one that was very similar and that is worth £3million.
"The prince is just an amazing friend. We go round to his house, he's wicked."
The prince and Jade are so close they are now considering working on a TV project in the US.
The prince's spokesman, Jeff Allen, said: "He met up with Jade a few times - once for dinner and another time to go to a club."They get on very well as they have the same sense of humour. They are looking into working on a few TV projects together in the US."
The prince - the second son of the Sultan of Brunei - is heir to a £20 billion fortune and fourth in line to the throne of Brunei, a tiny independent state on the island of Borneo in South-East Asia.
Prince Azim is a good friend of singer Mariah Carey, who he also treated to a £3million ring and Michael Jackson attended his 25th birthday party this summer.
