I have to agree with this. Yeah she was successful due to BB but she also caused terrible disgrace to the show with the whole Shilpa incident and I believe was responsible over this for making the show so PC and careful and ultimately worse which led to the demise of Big Brother on channel 4

fair do's. everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

To hold one's anger in over an oxo cube sounds like a colloquialism.

Anyway, you're being a bit harsh there on the memory of her

Were Patricks posts deleted? lol

They've vanished. Must be the cleaner

They should do ,after all she WAS an ultimate hm8

[BBGermany]

I never got the appeal of her.
Before I watched her series I thought she won cause it seemed like everyone loved her.

I wont say nothing bad about her, I just didnt care for her too much in her series, cbb or India

[AndyJK]

Channel 4 giving Jade Goody a tribute is like mafia members throwing flowers onto the funeral cortege of the boss they had murdered.

[Sunday]

Whatever she was, she was a young person with 2 lovely little boys.
Its sad to think they will read peoples harsh opinion of their mother as they get older.
Only they will have known the true Jade though and hope they find strength in that.
At the end of the day, its not her fault how she was brought up, she didnt know any difference to be honest.

If she was alive, I think she would be in UBB, but she wouldnt win it.

[tate]

i think they will mark her contribution in some form. After all, in 20 years time if someone mentions big brother hers is the name that everyone will remember

I always liked Jade. I thought she was simple, quite ignorant due to lack of education and opened her gob well before speaking but I actually like the girl and what she strived to achieve for the sake of herself at the start and then later on for her boys. She was BB's greatest success story whether people liked her or not

As a HM, well she made BB3 the great series that it was, why wouldn't BB add that to some sort of compilation clip?

My best friend died a few months ago and the country couldn't have cared less. If only he had been an ex gameshow contestant he might have had a 7 page pullout special in The Daily Star.

Would he have wanted it though? I am sure I wouldnt. We are lucky to have our lives not spread out for the world.
I know the tv stars want publicity, but not the false and rubbish stuff they sometimes print, how hard must that be?
Im sorry to hear about your friend, I know how hard that is though.

I think my point is why should I care about what happens to Jade Goody just because I've seen her on the telly? People die all the time and it's sad for thier friends and relatives. It's not sad for me, I didn't know her.

I think its sad whoever dies young, even if I dont know them personally. But thats me.

that all being said the media was right to highlight her death. On the back of it the % of young women getting smear tests has rocketed and this will surely save lives down the line

That was a temporary blip - the % of young women getting smear tests has now fallen to below what it was before .....

The overall number of women in the UK aged 25 to 64 who got their NHS screenings from March 2008 until March 2009 - the period of Goody's diagnosis, illness and death - rose about 12%.

In the NHS's annual review of the cervical screening programme, this rise is largely attributed to Goody's influence.

More significantly, women in Goody's age range - 25 to 29 - who had smear tests outside the cervical screening programme in England rose by a third compared with the same time period a year earlier. This includes women who requested the screening themselves or were invited or recalled by their GP.

However, NHS statistics show that about 20% of women still did not get their regular screening in 2008/9 and about 3% have never had a cervical screening.

And although health professionals and media outlets alike praised the "Jade Goody effect" during her illness and in the months after her death, one year on, they fear it's fading as fast as it came on.

"It certainly did [have an effect] roundabout the time of her death, but it doesn't seem to have persisted," says Alison Baker, the president of the National Association of Cytology. "While it was in the public eye, it was massive."

The official statistics for the year following Goody's death will not be available until October, but Mr Music says anecdotal evidence shows that cervical screening is decreasing - and may even be returning to pre-Jade levels.

be that as it may, 12% rise during that time WILL have saved lives, that is good enough for me

the comment made in that article proves my point - "while it was in the public eye it was massive"

[smudgie]

She should get the same mention as all the rest of the housemates.
No maudling tributes though.

[Visage]

I was thinking about the the other day. I do hope they remember her.

[Jackie]

I think they're might be a little mention of her.

[InOne]

Her having kids has nothing to do with it.

I think what he means is that whether she was a mother or not has nothing to do with whether or not she should have a mention on BB and be remembered as some sort of saint. Correct me if I'm wrong Joe?
