The release date of Jade Goody diary has been brought forward to April 16th.
The book will contain a collection of entries written in the months leading up to her death on Mother’s Day.
Jades agent, Mark Thomas, said: “Jade wanted the story of her last months to be told, both as a lasting record for her beloved boys and to raise awareness about screening for cervical cancer so that fewer women will have to go through the same thing that she did.”
Following the tragic news of Jade Goody’s death in the early hours of Sunday March 22nd, Living has announced today that it will be airing two tribute shows to celebrate and document Jade’s life. Jade: With Love will include new and exclusive interviews with some of those closest to Jade together with highlights from her four series ‘ on LIVING.
Former Celebrity Big brother winner, Shilpa Shetty is hoping to fly in and visit dying Jade Goody at her home this week.
The pair met on the Channel 4 reality TV show where Jade was accused of displaying racist and bullying behaviour towards the Bollywood star, however the pair are said to have struck up a friendship in recent months.
“Shilpa has been keeping in touch with her for months and they are good friends,” Max Clifford told the BBC.

If you aren’t already sick of seeing Jade Goody on the front page of every newspaper and of hearing about her on every chat show then you just might be when this time next year they begin to promote the new movie about her life.
Jade’s publicist Max Clifford has told The Daily Telegraph that Simon Cowell has informed him of the rising interest in Goody across the Atlantic. This increased interest means that the option of making a movie about her life seems feasible.
Clifford said: “Practically everyone is asking him how Jade is doing. All the celebrities he meets have been following her story on TV and in newspapers and magazines.
It must have been a scary moment, as yesterday Jade Goody awoke in her hospital bed to find a woman wielding a hammer muttering over her bed.
Jade’s husband Jack has just left the room to get a cup of tea, when Jade was confronted by the crazed, whispering woman.
Police were called and the woman was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon and taken into custody at a west London police station. She was later released with no charge.
I have no idea how or why this occurred, but The Sun is running a story today reporting that Michael Jackson phoned Jade Goody at the weekend.
Michael was in London at the time promoting his upcoming summer gigs and is said to have called Jade to hospital to offer her support and well wishes.
A pal told the newspaper: “He learned of Jade’s suffering and wanted to lend his support and comfort her at this awful time. When she was told Michael was on the phone her eyes lit up and she mustered all the strength she could to have a chat.”
Jade Goody married her boyfriend Jack Tweed and as we previously reported the former Big Brother star allowed Living TV exclusive access to her preparations for the big day.
Jade’s Wedding will air over two nights on Wednesday 11th March and Thursday 12th March.
Max Clifford revealed on GMTV that Jade Goody has had a ‘good night’s sleep’ after doctors brought her pain under control.
Below is the full transcript of Max Clifford’s interview with GMTV’s Andrew Castle:
Andrew Castle: We’re joined now by Jade’s spokesperson and friend – it has to be said – Max Clifford, who’s at his home in Surrey. Max, very good morning to you, I don’t know if you can give us the very latest this morning – have you spoken to her?
Jade Goody had a bad weekend. After spending much of yesterday suffering from extreme stomach pain she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. After she took the turn for the worse she decided that she would like to get christened along with her sons as soon as possible.
Her publicist Max Clifford told The Sun that a “sobbing” Goody phoned him after she was transferred to hospital from her hospice bed.
Clifford said: “It’s absolutely horrible to hear a young girl in so much pain. Especially as over the weekend she was actually feeling a lot brighter.

If you are a fan of Jade Goody’s then you will be used to seeing every facet of her life on her Living reality TV show. If this is the case then you are probably feeling really left out from her whole wedding experience!
Lucky for you, Living have bought the rights to the ceremony and will be airing Jade’s wedding in full in just a few weeks time. Their cameras followed Jade from the morning of her wedding right through to the end of the day, so you won’t miss a minute!
Clicking on this image will take you to the touching Daily Mail article about Jade & Jack's engagement
The image above from the Daily Mail is without doubt the most touching, truthful and painfully sad depictions of Jack and Jade’s love that I’ve ever seen. The picture captures the desperately sad fact that despite their love for each other, they know they don’t have a long future, and it makes me weep every time I look at it simply because of the immense honesty of the picture.
And Jade Goody is, among many other things, honest; often painfully so. At one time, I would have said that honesty was born from the lack of sufficient intelligence to lie or carry out a deceit because as I’ve mentioned in my articles about Jade on this site before, when she first shot to fame on Big Brother in 2002, I couldn’t stand her.
I thought she typified the ‘chav’ type of young woman; loud-mouthed, inarticulate, crass, vulgar… in fact, I thought she was exactly what she portrayed herself to be – the ill educated product of a broken, dysfunctional family who lived on state benefits on a rough council estate. The fact that she seemed to be proud of – or at least not embarrassed by – “being thick” embodied for me many of the things that I felt were wrong with young people in this country today… Read more & comment »

Max Clifford told press today that Jade Goody and Jack Tweed have tied the knot.
The ceremony took place at Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hertfordshire just eight days after Jack proposed. The grounds were closely guarded and no pictures have yet emerged as Jade has signed a lucrative and exclusive magazine deal thought to be worth in the region of £1 million.
Clifford told press at the venue that Jade was able to stand for most of the 45-minute ceremony, but had to sit down for the last five minutes. He added that the married couple were “thrilled” they could spend what might be “their only night together”.

Jade Goody’s publicist, Max Clifford has revealed that Jade’s last TV appearance could well be in the form of a tell all interview with Britain’s Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan.
Max appeared on GMTV last Thursday and was asked if Jade intended to continue being filmed after her wedding day and during her last few weeks of life. Max replied:
“It’s a fine line Emma. The most important thing is, what does Jade want to do, and what does she feel up to do? We are in discussions to do a final documentary – an interview with Piers Morgan, who’s she’s known for a long time – and she’s very keen to do it, providing she’s well enough to do it.”
Max went on to say that Jade was not intending to let the cameras from her Living reality TV show record her final moments saying:
Girls Aloud may be able to perform at this weeks wedding of terminally ill Jade Goody and her boyfriend Jack Tweed.
Sarah Harding, 27, told The Daily Star: “We have had contact from Jade’s people about performing at her wedding and now it’s in the hands of our management.
“We are desperately trying to re-arrange our schedule so we can do it. It’s a very sad thing to have to discuss.”
