Big Brother: UK 2002 star Jade Goody has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. This news comes the same day Christina Applegate got a clean bill of health [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
Goody was the subject of much controversy for many reasons. Not least because during a celebrity edition Big Brother: UK, she became embroiled in the centre of a racism scandal. Goody was labelled racist against Indian people and thus (up til now) garnered little pubic sympathy.
However, today she received news that she has cancer and in a poignant way… on Indian Big Brother!
Goody agreed to appear in Indian Big Brother to prove she isn’t a racist. While on the show, she received the results of her test and all while on film and in the Indian Diary Room. When she found out, she ran out of the room screaming to her fellow contestants ‘I have cancer’.
Producers say they will not release that footage.
According to The Daily Fail:
The 27-year-old was a contestant on Bigg Boss 2 when she was called to the Diary Room to speak to her UK doctor who told her the results of a recent biopsy.
It is not clear whether she has womb or cervical cancer but the latter is far more common in women of her age.
The mother-of-two broke down in tears and sobbed to housemates she had suffered some ‘bad news’ and that she had to leave the house.
She was immediately withdrawn from the programme and was last night being flown home to begin treatment.
Her spokesman Mark Thomas said: ‘It is pretty obvious that she was looking forward to her time in the house but her health is the first priority and she is flying back for treatment and more tests.’
