Jade: Catch a Falling Star

The moment that Jade Goody stepped out of her car and into the Big Brother house, her life changed forever. Her warmth, enthusiasm and dizzy exterior endeared her to millions of people, but behind this lies one very tough and determined lady. Recently diagnosed with cervical cancer while taking part in India's BB-style TV show, she has had to face the toughest battle of her life in the full glare of the national media. A wonderful mum, with inspirational dedication, Jade has shown unbelievable strength of character as she begins her treatment, determined as ever to give her boys, Bobby and Freddy, the upbringing she never had. Packed full of witty anecdotes and heart-rending tales, all told with Jade's usual humour and unique turn of phrase, this remarkable book is by turns funny, moving and disarmingly honest. A frank autobiography, with no detail spared, it reveals the real Jade Goody, up close and personal.

Jade Goody was born and brought up in Bermondsey, south London, where she lived with her mother Jackiey. She shot to fame in 2002 after her appearance in the third series of Big Brother. Since then Jade has balanced TV and magazine work with various other new business ventures. She now lives in Hertfordshire with her two sons, Bobby and Freddy.
