Product Description

The moment Jade Goody stepped into the Big Brother house in 2002, her life changed forever. As soon as she opened her mouth on national TV, Jade secured her place as the unofficial winner of the third series of Big Brother and became the most famous reality TV star in the UK. The glitz and glamour of Jade s sudden fame was a far cry from the real-life drama of the estate where she made her start. Brought up in a run-down part of Bermondsey, South London, caring for her disabled mum and with her dad in and out of prison, she had experienced more by the time she started secondary school than most people do in their whole lifetime. But Jade always lived her life with incredible spirit and that is what endeared her to millions of people during her time on Big Brother. Behind the bubbly exterior, though, there was a tough and fiercely determined lady. Jade was always the first to admit that she had made mistakes and there were many trials and tribulations along the way. But when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, she faced the toughest battle of her life, in the full glare of the national media. Jade fought with dignity and unbelievable strength of character, never giving up hope and always striving to do the best she could for her beloved boys, Bobby and Freddy. In this, the second instalment of her autobiography, Jade spares no detail as she reveals all about her time in therapy, her tempestuous relationship with the love of her life, Jack Tweed (who she married in February 2009) and the trauma of her cancer diagnosis. Funny, moving and disarmingly honest, Fighting to the End truly is a fitting tribute to one of Britain s best loved celebrities.

Jade Fighting to the end
This book and catch a falling star is the same thing word for word just different titles i was hoping this book was totally different so if you have already read catch a falling star do not waste your money purchasing this book,

All aboard the Cash Cow Express.....!
Firstly, the title of this epic novel should have been 'Max Clifford - Milking it to the End'.

I see no reason for this book to have been written, apart from the fact that an uneducated girl grows up, applies to go on 'Big Brother', gets a place and along the way shows the world how stupid she really is.....we saw some classic one liners along the ride, 'East Angular' was one that sticks in my mind, I saw on the front page of the Sun newspaper, someone had made up this 'legendary' phrase in flowers, the Sun also confirmed that this was the phrase that made her famous?! Now is it me or do you normally need to do something to become a celebrity?

Please do not think that I dislike the person this book is harping on about, even more so, I do not wish any ill feelings upon her or her family, she was riding the media wave that the UK had provided her with in the best way that her publicist told her to do....

It makes me laugh how the newspapers were all over her like a rash when the Shilpa Shetty saga was unfolding, many were wanted her head on a stick, then the tragic news that she had terminal cancer....did they carry on the jibes and ridicule? NO, they turned full circle and covered every inch of her demise until the end, then produced an 8 page 'Funeral Special', please pass the sick bucket....

I feel for her kids and her 1st partner as he looks a decent kind of guy, Jack Tweed on the other hand needs to grow up, admit that owing to the media circus that he has been swept up in has got off very lightly with a 12 week prison sentence and move to a remote desert island never to be seen again. Who knows, his memoires will be published soon with the assistance of Jade's personal family Friend, old Maxy boy !!

Buy this to use as a doorstop or additional fuel for the fire, I wouldn't have thought that it contains any information that normal folk would find at all interesting...

UGH!
Please just don't. This book is just awful tripe and a dreadful cynical money making exercise. Rise above it.
