Product Description

The moment that Jade Goody stepped out of her car and into the Big Brother house, her life changed forever. As soon as the blonde, bubbly dental nurse from south London opened her mouth on national TV, she secured her place as the unofficial winner of the third series of Big Brother. 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, caring for her disabled mum at an age when most kids are looking after their dolls, Jade didn't have an easy childhood. With her dad in prison, and her mum struggling to cope, she had experienced more by the time she started secondary school than most people do in their whole lifetime. Now, over six years after Jade's unforgettable exit from the Big Brother house in 2002, she is still the most famous reality star in the UK. Her warmth, enthusiasm and dizzy exterior endeared her to millions of people, but behind this lies one very tough and determined lady. Recently diagnosed with cervical cancer while taking part in India's BB-style show, she has had to face the toughest battle of her life in the full glare of the national media. A wonderful mum, with inspirational dedication, Jade is determined to give her boys, Bobby and Freddy, the upbringing she never had. There have been many trials and tribulations along the way and Jade is the first to admit that she has made some terrible mistakes, but, with brutal honesty that few could boast of, she refuses to gloss over the struggles and errors of her past. She speaks candidly about the time she spent having therapy and tells all about her past relationships and the trauma of her recent diagnosis. Packed full of witty anecdotes and heart-rending tales, all told with Jade's usual humour and unique turn of phrase, this remarkable book, the second instalment of her life story, is by turns funny, moving and disarmingly honest. A frank autobiography, with no detail spared, it reveals the real Jade Goody - up close and personal.

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.
