    About this ebook

    Jade's life changed forever on the day she entered the Big Brother house in May 2002, and things have never been the same since. TV glamour was a far cry from her life growing up in Bermondsey, where Jade had taken on the role of 'carer' for her disabled mum from an early age. With her father in prison, she didn't have an easy childhood, and one of her first memories was waking up, aged six, and dragging her mum out of their burning house when it caught fire. She discusses what really happened under the Big Brother sheets with PJ on live TV, meeting Jeff Brazier and falling pregnant (twice), as well as struggling to conquer a dangerous eating disorder. Always with her children, Bobby and Freddy, in mind, Jade went back to college in 2003, qualified as a beauty therapist, and established her own salon. There have been many trials and tribulations along the way, but that's how things often were for Jade, and she took it all in her stride. Heart-rending, hilarious and shockingly revealing. This book gives a fascinating insight into Jade's extraordinary life.

    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.
