Living has commissioned a new documentary series covering Jade Goody's battle with cervical cancer.

Acting as a follow-up to this summer's Living With Jade Goody, it will show the reality TV star dealing with the disease while attempting to maintain her businesses and look after her family.

Jade will film Goody's build-up to Christmas, which includes visits for treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital and training for pantomime. It also features interviews with doctors, nurses and fellow cancer patients.

"Living and Jade have a long relationship of trust and our viewers care deeply about her," said Virgin Media director of television Claudia Rosencrantz.

"Jade is dealing with her illness with dignity, strength and a huge dose of her famous humour and she is a total inspiration.

"Demonstrating Jade's position as a role model to young women, her diagnosis has already sparked an extraordinary increase in cervical smears amongst young women and we hope this show will play its part in raising awareness for such a important cause."

Goody commented: "I'm absolutely determined to beat this disease. I have two gorgeous boys and I need to live for them.

"I don't want to stop living my life, so in lots of ways viewers will see that its business as usual in the Goody household, and that usually means chaos!"

Jade begins on Living on December 11.

I seem to remember that it was only a few weeks ago that she wanted to 'shield' her sons from her having cancer.

So doing a fly on the wall doc is going to do that....pffffs.... this is really scrapping the barrel.

Yes its very very sad that she has cancer but dragging it all out in the media is not going to help.

She should be spending time with her boys and relaxing and getting strong

No. Jade would sell her soul for a TV deal.

For money that will help her kids, who atm have a 50/50 chance of growing up without their mum. Also to show people who may also be suffering from cervical cancer just how she is coping. She is doing her bit, in her own way, to make people aware of the illness.

Reasons like this make me miss cable TV so much. [/sarcasm]

Nicely put. If you'd have put it any other way I'd have sworn you were serious.

I'm sorry but if it was me I would be spending every last minute with my kids without the cameras.

Making people aware or not...... its the kids that are the most important
