Jermaine Jackson to conduct Anti-Bullying Campaign.

Hot off his appearance on U.K. reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother, Jermaine Jackson will conduct an anti-bullying campaign around schools.

Along with Matt Fiddes (friend and bodyguard to Michael) the campaign will start in Barnstaple this Sunday at Matt's martial arts school before moving on to a local hospice.

Then on Monday morning Jermaine will visit a school in Devon before moving down to London to visit more.

During his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house Jermaine was named as the calming influence and saviour on several occasions during rows between Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and reality TV star Jade Goody. Shetty's treatment was globally discussed as Goody and two other housemates bullied the actress and were even seen to be making racist remarks.

UPDATE:

As previously reported in Hotshot No. 2230, Jermaine Jackson has joined forces with Michael's long-term friend and bodyguard Matt Fiddes to campaign against bullying.

Jermaine joined Matt's campaign, called NOBUL, following the final of reality show Celebrity Big Brother, where he finished runner up to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who herself was a subject of bullying and racist comments made by fellow housemates.

"Jermaine has just left the Celebrity Big Brother House, where as we all know, Shilpa Shetty was the subject of a lot of racial discrimination", said Matt. "Jermaine is such a great guy who is very anti bullying, so it seems fitting that he is going to help me to launch a nationwide campaign".

The campaign will begin in Barnstaple, and will also visit Taunton, Bridgewater, Weston, Swindon and Uxbridge in London. More locations may follow.

"I really believe that every child can achieve success if they really want to - I like to think that I am an example of that as I was bullied when I was at school," said Matt. "We shall also be talking to children about the dangers of drugs and how to say no to peer pressure, and we can teach some basic self defence moves as well. We are planning to set up a visit to a primary school in London as the capital’s schools have the worst truancy record in the UK."

The campaign begins Sunday 4th February and will see Jermaine visit Matt's Martial Arts school and Devon. Monday 5th February will see the pair visit Ashleigh Primary School before moving onto other locations.

UPDATE:

The popularity of Jermaine Jackson is quite high just now since his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother and fans wishing to meet him can do so this weekend!

While helping Matt Fiddes with his anti-bullying campaign "NOBULL" Michael's Big Brother will visit over ten locations to raise awareness of the effects of bullying has in schools across the country.

The location fans will be interested in is the Imperial Hotel in Barnstaple. Jermaine will hold a meet and greet with fans wishing to meet him outside the hotel from 8pm-10pm on Sunday 4th February.

The campaign will start on Sunday afternoon in West Sussex before moving onto Barnstaple, Swindon and Uxbridge. Four primary schools will be visited by Matt and Jermaine on Monday 5th February.
