Love her or hate her ... this is sad and wouldn't wish it on anyone :sad:

This is really horrible! =/

This is so devastating.

This is a truly tragic story. :sad:

Awww man! This really is bad news! I feel really bad for her family and friends. I still believe it was inapropriate to keep her disease so public, but when you hear something like this, it really makes you feel horrible about criticizing anything she did since she had cancer.

I guess just pray for her! Yu never know what the future brings...

Shouldn't feel bad about it ... but be expected to be bombarded with stories in the next few days/weeks. She'll probably want to milk every last penny out of it, but lets face it we all would if it was to help our kids after we're gone.

Devastatingly sad :sad: My thoughts are with her and all her family.

I really can`t believe this is happening,she was so full of life (still appears to be in her documentry) and doesn`t deserve this at all,shes so young and has everything to live for.I can`t express how sad it makes me to think that in a short amount of time shes going to be gone.I`ll be absolutly devastated when I hear of her passing,I know I don`t know her but with someone like Jade you sort of feel like you do know her,shes the most famous bb contestant ever and I think us bb fans owe alot to her,she helped make the show the success it is today and I`m thankful to her for that.I think shes an amazing human being and parent,how she`s got through what she has in life is astounding and she doesn`t get the credit she deserves.
I just hopes she lives as long as she possibly can and her last days are everything she hopes for and that her two boys grow up to have the life she would have wanted for them.I know things happen like this all the time and just becasue its Jade doesn`t make it any worse but personally I`ve never had much experience of death,well up until recently anyway and it really does make me sad.

i agree with you and even though i dont particually like her this is so so sad

I actually was shocked that Jade was doing all of the shows just for money for her boys. rather what I thought she was doing just for fame. And It's sad to hear it.

aw poor jade
Jades a fighter

Im so sad about jade i light a candle for her every night and pray for her

I just can`t believe one day really soon shes no longer going to be with us.

That's so sad! :(

Poor Jade.

Best wishes to her family.

:bawling:

This is sad news, Jade isn't much older than me and it's a shock to see her going through this. I've worried about getting older and being 30 in a few years' time but it's sad that Jade possibly won't live to see 28, let alone 30 so it makes you realise how precious life is really.

Best wishes to Jade and those around her, I wouldn't even have supported her had I not been a Big Brother fan.

Best wishes to her and her family. It's so sad to see someone with so much more to give to be taken away like this. This can happen to anyone. Like I've said before. Count your blessings.

Yeh,it really makes me think about my life and how lucky I am and to start not taking things like my family and my own life for graunted anymore.Everyone should live life to the full and don`t put off things because it could really happen to any of us.

Has she told the kids yet?

I think it's disgusting she's runs straight to the press with every bit of news while her kids have been fed lie after lie after lie and aren't being prepared for the inevitable at all.

Yes, it's not an easy thing to tell your kids, for anyone, but when you're selling your story to anyone who'll pay for it, you have a responsibility to ensure the kids here it from you, not the News of the World.

Whether she has or not, its an extremely hard thing to do so I wouldn't say its "disgusting".

Cant believe she only has months to live.

This is so sad :cry:

I can't begin to imagine how Jade and her family must be feeling right now. I struggled to read the story today because it really is sad to think how we all know Jade for being bubbly and friendly and to see her now lying in a hospital bed knowing she'll never be that person again :bawling: I think she's been so brave for her kids because when she speaks about them she says how she's always strong for them and it must break her heart when her boys ask her questions because she doesn't want to tell them she's dying.

Jade we are all thinking of you and you will always be rememered for the bubbly girl we saw all those years ago when you first shot to fame. God bless. x

lie after lie???shes hardly been lying to them,shes said herself she just doesn`t think theres any need to use the word cancer.Her children are well aware their mum is sick but for gods sake they are children,what do you want her to say 'hey kids mummys going to be dead by the time your next birthday comes around!'
Im sure they wont find out about Jades illness or death by the News of the World,why would they?Surely their father or another family memeber will break the news unless Jade decides to explain whats going to happen to her herself in the coming weeks or months.
At the end of the day were no in Jades position and I`m sick of hearing people criticize her :rolleyes:shes dying and there her children and its her illness ,surely can we not just let her do it her own way and lay off on the criticizing :puzzled:

Quite an upsetting picture in todays Sunday Mirror

To be fair, I don't know many kids that read newspapers. Especially NOTW.

I suppose most kids prefer The Observer.

Let's make no mistake about it - this is tragic (for her and her family) and it is never easy to tell anyone such news, especially children, but as Jade and her publicist have let it play out in the public eye, it's inevitably opens up every decision they make to criticism.


My concern with it now shifts away from Jade and towards those who might be willing to exploit it for their own gain - (you know, the ones who dubbed her "racist bully Jade" a few months ago). It benefits absolutely no one to let Jade's death play out in front of the cameras - and I would hope that someone, somewhere in the production company would have the ethics to realise that, however willing Jade (who let's not forget, is in a very vulnerable position right now) might appear to be.

A few years ago we had the absolutely sickening situation where the press were camped outside a hospital waiting for George Best to die, and then following his funeral as if he were a head of state. I think the era of the "Hello! Funeral" needs to be stopped before it's allowed to begin.

Seriously though. Its very sad, and all these pics that come out everyday, make it even worst.

I dont think anyone wants to see them!

Its going to benefit her kids. I'm glad shes milking every last penny out of this. Lets not forget away from forum land Jade must be pretty popular otherwise she wouldn't have lasted this long in the media, so there are going to be a hell of a lot of people interested in this story and following it almost religiously. Thats because of the rags to riches story, and a lot of people can probably identify with her.

Other benefits include that smear tests are now significantly up.

Gosh yeah, she's going to be such a loss to society. :rolleyes:

That's cruel, no matter how insignificant she may be to society she's a person and she has feelings. She's going to be leaving her young children, family and friends behind.

Just imagine how they're going to feel.

Everyone is a loss unless they've done a horrific crime. Doesn't matter if they've made an impact or not.

That comment was unnecessary.

Matt - really don't care.
Fom - free country.
Tom - fair point.

Shows what sort of personality you have. I bet if would be a different story if she was one of your family members.

Well yes it would because:

a) None of my family members are racist bullies.
b) None of my family would use their illness for endless, shameless publicity.
c) They'd be a member of my family. Jade Goody isn't.
d) Actually I don't need a d.

What a stupid comment. Of course it'd be ****ing different if this was a member of my family. Did you not even twig that when you typed it?

And yeah, it does show what personality I have. I'm a very hateful person. And I don't really care about what Matt08 has to say about that.

a) That was in the past, she's been forgiven by the people involved. She still doesn't deserve to die.
b) She's already said that she is using publicity to make money for her children's future. Plus her publicity has done good because numbers of smear tests are up.
c) Regardless if she is your family member or not, she doesn't deserve to die. What has she ever done to you?

I don't care what you think of me either, and I agree that you are a very hateful person.

Jade isn't a racist bully. The police picked up on the case after the series ended, went through endless hours of footage and found nothing to suggest racism.
