It’s ironic and sad that Jade Goody had to find out whilst taking part in Big Brother, the show that made her in to the star she is today, that she has cancer.27-year-old Jade was taking part in India’s version of Big Brother, Big Boss, when she was called in to the diary room and told the news via a phone call from her agent, that she has cervical cancer.
Her agent Max Clifford, who also looks after celebs such as Simon Cowell and Kerry Katona said, “Jade is absolutely devastated. We had to call her and tell her the news. She was in floods of tears and broke down in front of her housemates. This [her appearing on Big Brother] was meant to be her chance to turn things around.”
Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom as actress Christina Applegate who was also recently diagnosed with cancer, has been given the all clear. “They got everything out, so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer," she told Good Morning America.
