About

Jade Goody



A brash British reality show star whose ups and downs captivated the nation till her dying day in the early hours of Mothers Day.

Her first foray into the spotlight was in 2002, when she lost at strip poker on Britain's version of "Big Brother." She went on to write her autobiography, star in fitness videos, release a perfume and appear on "Celebrity Big Brother," where she was accused of racism and bullying a Bollywood star, Shilpa Shetty.

To make amends, she went to India last summer to star in its version of "Big Brother." It was there _ in a shocking diagnosis captured on television _ that she found out about her cancer.

Bald and pale from chemotherapy, pictures of Jade have since been daily fodder in the British press. She says the publicity and profits made from selling her story will help her sons, 4-year-old Freddie and 5-year-old Bobby Jack, and raise awareness of cervical cancer.

Rest in Peace

Memories

I'll remember you

Diana Feb 05, 2012

Your simple statement 'I'll miss you all so much', was profound. You are missed Jade!

To Jade no Offence meant

John Feb 03, 2012

I cannot say in all honesty that i you were one of my favorites, you were famous for being famous as it were. A product of celebrity worship syndrome.. That said, you showed that there was more to you than the public perception of you,indeed when you discovered that you had the big C that is when you shone. Nobody deserves to get Cancer, no one, it's a killer if a disease and is merciless once it gets a hold.
As for those you left behind, some of them were real plonkers and have in some cases sullied your memory.
But rest in peace young lady you will never suffer any more.

Jade,

I know you are no longer with us but your story has inspired so many of us and made us all so more aware of cervical cancer and its effects. Id like to thank you for this as currently I am in a similar situation and awaiting a date for my LETZ procedure.

Gone too soon

Hope you are ok up there beautiful lady
xxxxxxxx

Just watched the Big Brother final on Channel 5 and thought of you! A star was born and taken away from us in such a short time. God bless Jade.
