Jade - Fighting to the End

The moment Jade Goody stepped into the Big Brother house in 2002, her life changed forever. The glitz and glamour of Jade's sudden fame was a far cry from the real-life drama of the estate where she made her start. Behind the bubbly exterior, though, there was a tough and fiercely determined lady. But when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, she faced her toughest battle of her life, in the full glare of the national media. Jade fought with dignity and unbelievable strength of character, never giving up hope and always striving to do the best she could for her beloved boys, Bobby and Freddy. Funny, moving and disarmingly honest, Fighting to the End is a fitting tribute to one of Britain's best loved celebrities.

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 balanced TV and magazine work with various other business ventures. Jade sadly lost her fight with cancer on Sunday 22 March 2009 and leaves behind her beloved family and friends including her husband Jack Tweed and her two sons, Bobby and Freddy.
