    About this ebook

    The moment that Jade Goody stepped into the Big Brother house, she secured her place as the unofficial winner of the third season, and found instant fame as a reality star. The glitz and glamour of sudden fame was a far cry from her difficult beginnings. Brought up in a run-down area and caring for her disabled mother, Jade didn’t have an easy childhood. But she always lived her life with incredible spirit – and that is what endeared her to millions during Big Brother. Behind the bubbly exterior, there was a tough and fiercely determined lady. Jade was always the first to admit that she had made mistakes—and there were many trials and tribulations along the way. But when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, she faced the toughest battle of her life, in the full glare of the national media. Jade fought with dignity, never giving up hope and always striving to do the best for her sons. In the second installment of her autobiography Jade spares no detail of her time in therapy, her tempestuous relationship with the love of her life, Jack Tweed (who she married in February 2009), and the trauma of her diagnosis. Sadly, in the early hours of March 22nd, 2009, Jade lost her fight with cancer, dying peacefully in her sleep with her close family by her side. Funny, moving, and disarmingly honest, Fighting to the End truly is a fitting tribute to a unique celebrity.

    Jade Goody

    Born and bred in Bermondsey, Jade Goody became a national treasure when she entered the Big Brother house in 2002. She constantly appeared in magazines and on TV as well as becoming a mother to two young boys, Bobby and Freddy. Tragically, in August 2008 Jade, aged only 27, was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She married the love of her life, Jack Tweed, in February 2009, but a month later, on Mother’s Day, Jade lost her brave fight to cancer, and died at home surrounded by her family.
