Big Brother producers have vowed to pay tribute to Jade Goody when the show returns for its tenth series this summer, a report claims.

Goody, who died following a battle with cancer today, became an overnight star after appearing on the Channel 4 reality show in 2002.

An insider told the News Of The World: "Jade was Big Brother. She completely embodied the show.

"This series is a milestone for the show, reaching the decade, so it will be made in tribute to Jade. The series is dedicated to her."

The programme's host Davina McCall is expected to speak about her memories of Goody in the live launch episode. A tribute video of the star's best moments on the show is also likely to feature.

The Big Brother source added: "We have all looked on in horror at what was happening to [Jade] after she became ill. Our biggest star, our only real star, faded in front of our eyes.

"We cannot deny Jade's importance to Big Brother and we definitely can't deny how much she meant to our viewers. They genuinely loved her and so did we."

Goody was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in August last year. The disease later spread to her liver, bowel and groin.

am glad they are doing this, cos bb made jade and it is what she would have wanted. i think its really nice. xxx

Highly doubt it's true - the News Of The World published that story just hours after the news broke.

I'd hate to have the entire series dedicated to Jade. An "In Memory Of" message at the end of an episode is enough.

I don't think they will dedicate the WHOLE series to Jade, just have a video tribute on the Launch night.

That is a good idea have a video or a task dedicated to Jade.

Maybe there will be a picture of Jade on the diary room chair?

I don't think this is true, but I do think it would be nice to have a "In Memory Of.." slide at the end of the launch or episode.

[BBDodge]

I hope Jade and Wendy Richard are remembered, briefly but wholeheartedly, when BB/BBLB return.

[Spike]

At least it will get ratings up for the launch
but I hope its just a small video montage or something like that on launch which everyone respects

[Iceman]

I'd like it if they did a video at the start and maybe donated money to a cancer charity. Also maybe if her past housemates gave their memories on her in a special show. She'd want it to be funny though, xx

More than ever Big Brother 10 needs to start afresh - and that means ignoring all housemates from previous series, whether dead or alive.

[Indierock&roll]

at the end of the launch show there should be a tribute to her
it will be so sad though
