We are sad to report reality star Jade Goody has died in her sleep, after losing the battle with cervical cancer, at her home in Upshire, south east England in the early hours of Sunday (March 22).

Jade appeared for the first time on the U.K. version of Big Brother back in 2002 but it was on the Britain’s Celebrity Big Brother (2006) that she caused controversy when she was accused of racist bullying over comments she made to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

The 27 year-old learned she had cervical cancer on the Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss, in August 2008 and since then had been battling her illness with a series of procedures including an emergency hysterectomy and chemotherapy. Earlier this year, Jade was told by her doctors there was nothing more they could do after the cancer had spread to vital organs.

After her cancer was announced, Goody documented her struggle in a series of U.K. press interviews, admitting she was eager to earn as much money for her children in case she died from the disease. Just weeks before her death, she wed her sweetheart Jack Tweed in an emotional ceremony – banking an estimated $1 million from a magazine deal for the wedding pictures. Jade’s last months were documented in a reality TV shows titled “Living with Jade Goody”.

Jade defended what she did as an attempt to provide and give a better life for her two sons, Bobby (5) and Freddie (4). These are unfortunate sad news but we hope it shows young women to care more about their health and it is never too early to get an exam!!
