Channel 4 have revealed that they plan to air a two part tribute to Big Brother star Jade Goody, who passed away last month.

The channel had initially said they would not be making a show dedicated to Jade, instead they planned to do a Big Brother tribute. However, given the massive public response to her death and funeral the channel have done a u-turn and will air a tribute show next month.

An insider told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “We weren’t going to do a dedicated show on Jade because she had only just died and everyone was a little overwhelmed by it all. It took a few weeks for her death to truly sink in.

“But it was clear from the support Jade and her family got from the public that there is great affection for her. We are planning a series of shows to mark our tenth anniversary and it would be a real shame not to give Jade her own show, separate from the others.

“It will be a celebration of her life, rather than a sad look back.”
