Reality TV star Jade Goody has died at the age of 27, her spokesman Max Clifford has confirmed.
She died at home with her family in Upshire, Essex, overnight on Saturday after a high-profile battle with cervical cancer.
Goody was diagnosed with the disease in 2008 but it spread to her liver, groin and bowel and she was told it was terminal in February.
Her mother Jackiey Budden said: “My beautiful daughter is at peace.” Obituary
Goody shot to fame after being a contestant in the third series of Big Brother in 2002 and was taking part in a version of the show in India when she was told of her illness. Full Story here
The harsh reality of her death comes on the very day that she would have been fighting so hard to see, Mother’s Day. Jade was without question a mother first and a star second. She loved her kids and would have so loved to have spent a final day at home with them. It wasn’t to be.
Oh dear, it only took eight days before racism reared its ugly head once again in the Big brother house. It happened late last night during a conversation between Emily and Charley. Emily with only 19 years of wisdom behind her deemed it necessary and ok to call Charley a nigger. With the UK version under so much scrutiny following the Shilpa Shetty row with chav Jade Goody it was inevitable that the producers would not take her comments lightly.
