Former I’m A Celebrity winner Christopher Biggins says that Jade Goody raised cancer awareness during her very public battle with the disease.

Speaking after taking part in a charity walk in high heels ahead of Cancer Research UK’s Race For Life – said: “I think that because Jade was so publicly in the spotlight for having cancer, and of course because the cancer got the better of her in the end, it was very emotional.”

“I think her telling people or making people aware of screening that can help alleviate this disease has done wonders.”

He went on: “It’s marvellous and I think the more people that can do that the better. If you do catch it early enough, you can do things to eradicate the illness you may have.”
