Living With Jade Goody Coming To Living
Few women have created more headlines than Jade Goody, most recently with the tragic news of her cancer battle.
Living with… Jade has the latest news on Jade’s devastating cancer diagnosis, which broke while the programmewas in production.
Rising to notoriety after her appearance on Big Brother in 2002, when her brash charm and goofy gaffes made her ahousehold name, Jade has since been lauded and lambasted in equal measure. In spite of the controversy of 2007’s Celebrity Big Brother, however, few could argue with her extraordinary success and endurance, as she turned what could have been a brief moment in the spotlight into a career spanning TV shows, books and fitness DVDs.
Having built up arelationship with Jade over three series, LIVING is uniquely placed to pick up Jade’s story as, with characteristic determination, she embarks on new adventures.
We join her on a pre-diagnosis visit to the hospital, and lift the lidon her touching relationship with her two young boys Bobby and Freddy, and the general chaos of life at home. As if that weren’t enough to keep her occupied, Jade takes on some daunting new business ventures – a military-style fit camp in Hertfordshire which she must road-test herself and her second perfume launch.
This second instalment in LIVING’s series of Living with… documentaries gets closer to Jade than ever before. Viewers won’t want to miss this unique insight into one of the most discussed celebrities of the past decade.

I feel sorry for her having cancer but she is milking the illness and its disgusting. According to papers she had already been sent 3 letters alerting her to abnormal cells and she ignored them, then went on BB knowing that her test results were due, she could have entered the house the following week after getting her results but then she would not have got publicity and sympathy. I hope Jade recovers but do not like the way she is using her illness to get publicity and back in the publics favour.

Oh please… a 3rd attempt for Jade Goody to get in our good graces??
The market is overflown with real celebs as it is. People like her shouldn’t even be allowed to have calling cards, yet be pushed into our faces all the time. What brainless demented writer came up with this idea? Take this crap off the air before it even starts! I feel for everyone that has an illness and if this show was about a nice regular person, instead of an egocentric, self-centred, inconsiderate wannabe celeb, then I would watch it. (I know I enumerated the same adjective 3 times but that’s how much she has of it) I could however, re-write the dictionary and replace those words with just a name…: jade goody.

The woman has cancer for goodness sake!! Give her a break!! She was lucky enough to have been in the right place at the right time and has milked it for every thing she can since..and made a lot of money from it… and tell me one of you lot out there who wouldn’t have done the same thing!! I just wish Jade all the best xx
December 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
leave her alone unless youv had cancer you cant say anything and i have had cancer. shes not milkin it
December 30th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
I personally thought jade was out of order for the racist remarks but she was only doing what most people either think or say. there has been a lot worse done. Don’t forget black peolpe can also be exceptionally racist too. I’m sorry to se the girl undergo this hideous disease. no one can say they are glad about it. I’m neither a fan or a hater. I still wish her well though as she did donate £100 grand to charity. not that that undoes what she did but it’s a big chunk of sorry! we all make inappropriate faux pas from time to time. She is still as thick as pigs;;t. nonetheless very entertaining. and she has the most amazingly beautiful boys bless them and they don’t want to lose thier mummy. so get well soon.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
oh and does anyone know wher she got her new corner sofa as i want one identical??? let me know please can’t find one anywhere.
February 4th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I HOPE JADE HETS THROUGH THIS AS I LIKE HER AS A PERSON AND WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT JADE YOU WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS GOD BLESS YOU AND HOPE HE GIVES YOU STRENTH TO GET THROUGH THIS XXXXX

I think anybody out there who has children, can only imagine the pain and suffering Jade is feeling knowing she won’t be there to see her babies growing up. We are all human beings who have feelings but some people choose to show what a horrible , cruel world we live in. I wish Jade all the best and though she may not recover let her enjoy the presious time she has left with those she loves.
February 14th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Dear jade, i hope you are well at this moment in time, i am so sorry to hear about what you are going through, hopefully you are strong and live for your boys, i just wish to tell you about my family, who have struggled desperately , i was born in 1963, the last baby of seven, i am a twin and also have twin brothers (they were only 18 months old when we were born) two older sisters and an older brother helped looked after us all after my father died sudenly, of cancer! As life goes on i am sure your boys will be ok, as when you are so young life just goes on, i don”t remember alot, but i know i had a good life, just my borhers and sisters, my mam never remarried and she was a widow for all of my life, brining up seven children on her own! she was happy go lucky and looked after us, i am sure your boys will be ok! they will have happpy times, please don”t worry about them though it must be hard but they will be ok. from a big family who survived!
February 14th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
I now think that anyone (espcially Trudy and Redpenphantom) who left NASTY comments should be ashamed of themselves…2 boys will be left without a mother, but i’m sure that when they are crying, you can rest in the knowlage that you knew best, she should of kept quiet. However most beleive that she wants the best for them and is thinking about their future..i wonder what you’ll be thinking about in 15 years time?? I have nothing further to add.
February 17th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
I am so upset with some of these comments that have been made. You must have no respect or morals! My Mum died last year of Cancer and i was 22 at the time, it’s one of the worst things you can go through. You can’t milk it, its not a cold she is dying and wants to do the best that she can for her 2 young boys. Unless you are in that situation than you have no idea, how shes feeling or how the boys are going to cope after. I am just so shocked how selfish this society is! I hope something like this never happens to you or your family and dont have to experience how it feels. You are low lifes!! Its unjust someone like my mum or Jade getting this nasty illness and scum like you are left.
Jade I wish you all the best in heaven, I am praying for you and the family. God bless!
February 18th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
If I had been diagnosed with a terminal illness I would do everything in my power to take care of my children in the future and if that ment using my status to generate income for their future then so be it!!! Jade my heart goes out to you, you are the reason many woman are going to their GPs to be tested for cancer. Some people must have stone cold hearts and be so selfish if they are not touched in some way by your story!
February 19th, 2009 at 1:17 am
What a load of bollocks people saying about her.
Jade Goody is seriously ill. Have some respect, she has feelings. Irrelevant of what she’s done and what she should have done. She is only human, just trying to live her life, just like everybody else and it’s more than obvious that she does not need people chipping in their share of dirt.
This is just idle gossip, from people who should know better; commenting unsupportive rubbish? That’s disgraceful. Especially in her time of need.
The poor girl needs to be left in peace to concentrate on getting better for her boys as well as herself. If you haven’t got anything nice to say, to give someone with a life threatening illness a kind word, then why say it at all? The people she loves, who love her back might see this. So before saying she’s this kind of person and that kind of person, think of how your loved ones would feel reading these comments..
Bless you Jade Goody, let your laugher never cease and see your boys grow into beautiful young men.

JADE IS NOT RACIST!
JADE IS NOT MILKING HER CANCER as some demented absolute wanker has suggested.
And neither is she racist, Shilpa wasn’t a victim of racism, bullying yes not racism just because shes asian doesnt meen any negative remark made about her is racist. Shilpa milked that situation very well might I add!
Jade is dying for gods sake you pathetic people, she wants to make some money to support her sons when shes gone.
I dont see anything wrong with her behavior shes doing what she needs to do. ALSO she is raising awarness of cervical cancer and smear tests, she is making young girls realise this same awful thing can happen to them. so seriously get a life and stop slaggin someone off when they are seriously seriously ill.
you arsehole.
February 19th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
What a sad situation for a young woman. She is doing what every good mother would do in providing for her sons.
Enjoy your wedding day, Jade and make the most of every precious moment that you have left.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
February 20th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
dear jade,im hopeing your wedding goes ok on sunday, i bet your two little boys look great. Me and my family are thinking about you and wish you well, you are a very strong person keep up the fight babe dont let yourself be beaten by this dreadful illness. we are all hoping you will win the battle. YOU ARE ONE SPECIAL LADY WITH LOADS TO LIVE FOR. Dont give up hope.
my kids and i are always glued to you when you are on tv, you are awsume, WE LOVE YOU YOUR THE BEST.
big huggs for you and a xx for your boys.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:34 pm
I’m sorry I do not have any sympathy for someone who uses their illness as a money making venture, under the banner of its for my kids- How many others have died and left youngsters behind.
February 21st, 2009 at 8:42 pm
I to am not a fan or a hater of Jade Goody, but would not wish this on anybody, those people who have made negative comments about her should feel ashamed as the upset that could not only cause a dying woman but her family too. As for milking the illness, and getting money for it, i would do exactly te same she is trying to secure her sons future, why not. we all want the best for our kids, imagine how worried she must be at the thought of leaving them, bless her this is a terrible thing for anyone to have to go through.. I think anyone who has shamed her name ought to be ashamed of themselves, she is dying for godsake!!! jade hope you come through this!!! all our thoughts are with you and your family x x x x
February 22nd, 2009 at 10:36 am
at the end of the day she is MILKING it proper but i want her to!! i want her to make as much money off this as she can i hope she gets money comeout of ear holes….. because she is doin it for her boy’s!!!!! im a mother to to girls, and i no that for there future i would beg, borrow and steal to make sure that they was ok so if i was going through what jade is going through and i had the the opportunity to make quick money for my children then so be it they are now going to be proper sorted out and not want for nothing which is all jade wants for them i no i would!! at least jade will be happy in the knowledge that her boys will be ok and they will grow into young men knowing there mother done everything she could before she went to make sure there lives were less harder for them and that they wont want for nothing i no everyone is entitled to there opinion but i feel people have gone to far and need to back off and leave her alone how can you comment on someone going through this if you haven’t lived it or even came close to experienceing it its wrong can you imagine how she feels looking into her babies eyes everyday you ought to be ashamed of yourselves can i also say that im a young mum of 20 from south london and i didnt really no much about smear testing or cervical cancer didnt really think i needed to!! but now this has all came out and is in the papers and on telly im happy because now im more aware and will be making sure i go and get my self seen and i will be on top of it as im sure alot of woman my age will now be more aware and it will help! alot! so i want to thank jade goody for publishing stories and making people more aware of the illness!! i hope things go as well and as good as they possibly can your a brilliant woman and mother for doing this for boys, and making things more aware thank you thinking of you and your family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
hope all goes well with you and jack and the wedding xxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 am
Me and my mum were discussing ways in which Jade could make more money for the boys, and we had a thought, as everything she’s doing at the moment will get her money for now, but it would be nice if she could do something that could carry on after Jade’s gone, and keep making money for the boys, and we rememberd the progamme we watched when Jade made her perfume, and we thought it would be a nice for Jade to make another perfume, for the boys, maybe even called “The boys” that would be able to carry on after Jade is gone.

February 22nd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
i think jade should b so proud of herself
she is so sick and yet she is trying so hard to get her children’s life in order be4 she’s dies. i lost my sister to cancer it is so hard to watch someone u love so much to die .i no what her family are going through. i would say to her family to be strong for one another and mostly the boys .i no all my family are thinking of her. we love u jade xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
February 23rd, 2009 at 12:58 pm
How dare you all sit there and slag off jade, the reason she wants so much publicity is to build a future for her boys. And look how much it has helped save thousands of lives already with people now going for tests, when they didnt before, and that is all due to the publicity she has been getting. I think you should be ashamed to slag of jade in the current state that she is in. Think of her little boys who are going to be left without a mum, and her mum left without a daughter. I’m disgusted at the comments some people have left!
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:36 pm
i would like to thank you for hepling me threw my darkest days and giving me surport eeven low we never met money never changed you which i admired you will always be a star to me which i cant thank you enough for
February 24th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Ive always liked Jade although she can be annoying at times, but over the past few weeks Ive really grown to love her and really respect everything she is doing.
She is a celebrity and that is her job and what she gets paid for -I know if I had cancer I wouldnt want to stop working straight away as I would want something else to think about and also to keep the money rolling in for my Family and this is exactly what shes doing. Just because her job is being in the public eye doesnt mean she should have to stop, wouldnt you do the same if you were in her position and could earn all that money for your Childrens future while your not here….I know what I would do!!
Also Jade keeping this all very public can only be a good thing, its already been proved just how many women have now gone into have smear tests since hearing about Jade, some women have put them off for years or never had one at all but have now thankfully and all thanks to Jade have gone in and been tested, Im sure Jades story will have saved many other womens lifes which is why she has made it all public to gain awareness!
As for the Big Brother Race Row dont get me wrong becasue what she said was wrong and for which she apologised for and had her fair share of commupance for that one, but this annoys me as we all say hurtfull things when we argue of which most of us regret after, just because she said something that can be regards as racist it causes a massive media hype when I dont think she ment it that way at all. Im not racist and I hate it when people are, theres no need for it, but it bugs me when something a white person says can be regards as racist, we cant even sing our Children Nursery Rhymes without changing the words incase we offend someone…its ridiculous, and we can get our fair share of racism but this is never made a big deal of!
I send my best wishes to Jade and her Family and to let you know we are all thinking of you xx
February 24th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I cannot find the words to express what i feel about such a sad tragic situation. I admire jade immensely for the way she is handling the whole situation. One thing i am sure of is that her boys will not forget her and she has given them so much to be very proud of her for. It is typical of the world that we live in today that there are some out there that still judge her so wrongly. It is hard to believe that in a time like this people can be so cruel, i am sure if it was a member of there family they would not want to deny them a thing and would support all there decisions. I for one think she is an inspiration, i am a hairdresser and often have to deal with clients that are loosing there hair to cancer, in fact a very good friend of mine is starting chemo tomorrow. Myself and my friend know that jade being so public whilst going threw this ordeal will help so many others to cope with it. I am proud of jade and would dearly like to have known her, all who do should be thankful, for she has touched the lives greatly of so many people who would of loved her as a friend.
Best wishes jade to you jack and the boys. xx

Hi Jade
My thoughts are with you every day, never know what to say to
say in these situation’s but needed to leave my deepest
respect and admiration. Your a brillant Mum and the most down
to earth person. Please don’t worry about what the idiots
Trudy and quote Red.Pen.Phantom (redpenphantom)think cause
WHAT GO’ES AROUND COMES AROUND tenfold and as for the
mentality of these people its disgusting must be awful to
to be like them shame!Please stay stronge and when the time
comes the love people have for you will carry you to a good
Place you can be sure of that

Hi
I have just been reading some of the comments, and it was really upsetting to read that people feel she is milking the situation. I myself at 28 was a cancer patient with 2 children, and your instincts are to protect and put everything in place for your children, which is what she is doing. This is an awful thing to happen to such a young woman, and there are unfortunately lots of other women in similar situations, who given the opportunity would love to be able to leave their children and family knowing they are financially secure. I wish her and her family all the best.
Take Carex
February 27th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Don’t know if Jade sees these comments or not but would like to say my heart goes out to you Jade.I had cervical cancer removed 15 months ago, thankfully no chemo just major surgery. Took me a year to physically feel anywhere near normal. I see you on tv and read about you in the papers and think you have handled yourself wonderfully, don’t know how you managed to keep working through it all, a lesser person would have sued the NHS to get the money for negligence(whether there’s a case or not). I have the utmost respect for you in you handling of a terrible situation and wish that your outcome was better.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Jade,
i don’t really know what to say to you, i just can’t imagine what you are going through,i only hope you can stay strong and keep fighting. Your boys will remember you! how could they not, your a wonderful mother who is doing everything she possibly can to make a future for your angels. i for one applaud you for it.
Don’t let the few comments of childish individuals take presidence over all the well wishers and heartfelt words that 99.9% of the population sending you.
i am sending this as one mother to another x i admire you
God bless you Jade x
March 2nd, 2009 at 1:52 pm
At the end of the day, Jade is a public figure and regardless of whatever comment you all have, people WANT to know what’s going on, and what’s happening, and this will hopefully make people more aware of the dangers of cervical cancer and what can happen if you ignore the warnings, I don’t think Jade is milking the situation at all, at the beginning I think the situation was over publisised, but the fact that every last one of you is on this page, shows some interest in the subject.
Jade, you are in everyones thoughts, i have a 4 year old son and can’t imagine what you’re going through, but you can see how much you love those boys, and they’re gorgeous, and your mum and their dad and Jack will all be there for them when you can no longer…thinking of you babe! xxx
I like the perfume idea from Amy? but time is of the essence i guess….xx
March 3rd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
please will somebody tell jade about the gurson therapy for cancer, many many people have survived on this after being told they have weeks to live, 10 years on and they are fine, please pass it on to all everybody should have the chance
March 3rd, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Jade, Jack and your boys,
Whilst I smear away the running mascara from my face after watching you on tv,I cant begin to express how saddened I am by what you are going through and burst out in tears every time you appear on the news or I watch your documentary. I am a mother of 2 little girls and I am the same age and on the same day you were diagnosed I recieved a letter to tell me that I needed treatment for CIN3. I feel like I know you and cant imagine how you feel but like you I want to help fight for the age to be lowered too, but where and how do I help???? You are the most courageous woman I have ever come across and would love to hold your hand and support you through this. Words cant describe how I feel for you and your boys and your brand new hubby. I have the upmost respect for you and never give in…your legacy lies within those little boys….Jade Goody will never be forgotton!!!!!!!! Jodanna XXXX
March 12th, 2009 at 10:07 am
People who have made silly comments on this page, obviously do not have the ability to stand back and try to even imagine a mother who knows she will not have the ability to hold and kiss their children or partner, watch them grow and achieve in their lives and be apart of their highs and be their for them in their lows….. my heart goes out to her and her whole family……. It makes me look at my son and appreciate the health we have and hopefully the time we have. I would like to wish Jade the biggest hug in the world! She has done all she can to secure a future for her boys in the way she knew best. She has been extremely courageous and she will need to be even braver over the next days. She has heightened awareness in away no one should ever had had to. with loads of love x x x
March 14th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Dear Jade,
What can anyone say your so strong keep it up..
We will all keep our fingers crossed and hope for the miracle you wished for on your wedding day..
Wishing the best for you and your family xxx
March 22nd, 2009 at 11:59 pm
God bless you Jade, my deepest sympathy Jackiey, look after those little boys. I am so very sorry. My daughter is the same age as Jade. My thoughts are with all her family. xx
