Jade Cerisa Lorraine Goody born 5 June 1981 has lost her fight against cancer aged 27.
Jade's mother Jackiey Budden said this morning "My beautiful daughter is at peace."
She had been treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London but wanted to die at home with her
family, saying she wanted "to spend all the time she had got left" with new husband Jack Tweed and
sons, Bobby, five, and Freddy, four.
Since learning that the cervical cancer she was diagnosed with in August 2008 was terminal, Jade
decided to live the last few months in the public eye, with her life being documented by Living TV
and an exclusive deal signed with OK magazine, with all the money earned being put into a trust fund
for her 2 son's future.
When news broke that Jade cancer was terminal, medical authorities in the UK reported a huge surge
in requests from women, particularly younger women, for screening for cervical cancer. As a further
result of the publicity surrounding Jade's illness, on 13 March 2009 the UK Government agreed to
review its policy of not offering screening for cervical cancer until the age of 25 in England (it
is 20 in the rest of the UK). The next day, Jade said is a press release that she was "immensely
proud" that she had helped prompt the review.
Jade was a dental nurse when she first came into the public spotlight, during the Channel 4 reality
TV show Big Brother 3 in 2002,. Jade finished in 4th place, staying in the house the full 64 days.
After coming out of the Big Brother house, she fronted her own reality TV shows, wrote a weekly
column for Now Magazine, released her autobiography and launched her own line of perfume called
Shh.
Shortly after, Jade met TV presenter and fellow reality television regular Jeff Brazier, the father
of her two sons, both of whom were born in Harlow, Essex. Bobby Jack Brazier was born on 6 June 2003
and Freddie Brazier was born in September 2004. Jade and Jeff seperated in 2005.
In 2006 Jade met Jack Tweed who went on to appear alongside her in Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother
5, along with Jade's mother. Just before she entered the house she was ranked number 25 in a poll in
Heat Magazine for the most influential person in the world.
August 2008 saw Jade enter the Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss. It was 2 days into this
show that Jade was told she had cervical cancer and she was immediately flown back to England.
On 15 February 2009 Jade and Jack exchanged rings in a private informal ceremony on the banks of the
River Thames in London. They married a week later on Sunday 22 February at Down Hall country house.
Jade requested to be christened from her bed at the Royal Marsden Hospital on 7 March along with her
sons. Her publicist, Max Clifford confirmed that this would be her last public appearance.
Our thoughts are with her family and close friends at this very sad time.
I miss you my Angel..
My Angel above
You watch down on me from heaven
And blow me kisses with love
I know you are safe..
And are not alone
But please try and call me..
If God has a phone

Special angel flying high,
We are sorry that we still cry,
But you see your loved everyday,
And missed in each and every way.
What we would give to have you back here,
What we would give to just hold you near,
No one will ever know the exact pain,
That we feel again and again.
The sun it shines, the sky is blue,
Just like it was the day you flew,
These days seem so hard now your up above,
But please no we send you so much love.

♥ MY SHINING STAR ♥
My shining star burns bright in the dark sky,
And anywhere I go it's sure to catch everyone's eye.
With a smile that could light up a thousand nights,
And the courage to fly to undiscovered heights.
♥*•.
To help and protect me in everything I do,
You're the one to help me make it through.
With open ears and a heart that stays true,
You know what to say when I'm feeling blue.
♥*•.
The way you read my mind and always see,
Just how I wanted everything to be.
You looked past the outside, viewing the real me,
And took out of my life all the uncertainty.
♥*•.
The uncertainty I had of years to come,
you showed me who I could get help from.
You would be my guide and let me lean on you some,
And show me that sometimes you just need to have fun.
♥*•.
You know exactly when to let down your guard,
And to only keep fighting when things start to look hard.
I want you to stay in my life and never go far
For you are my one, and only, shining star.

Cancer is a horrible disease to die from as i lost my mum with cancer...... for someone to die so young is a tragedy,still feels so strange that you are not still here, smiling , laughing on our television.You are still missed.....R I P.. In tears we saw you sinking,we watched you fade away,our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay, but as we saw you lying there so peaceful free from pain, we could not wish you back to suffer that pain again..... you have left a wonderful legacy in your boys x
