JADE GOODY'S CASH CRISIS

JADE Goody is in more money trouble after she MISSED the first mortgage payment on her posh new home.

The troubled star moved into a £750,000 luxury converted barn in Upshire, Essex, six weeks ago with sons Bobby Jack, four, and two-year-old Freddie.

She hoped it would be a fresh start after ditching scrounger boyfriend Jack Tweed.

But Jade, 26, failed to make the first £2,000-a-month repayment.

A close pal said: "Jade was frantic when she realised she'd defaulted on the mortgage so quickly. It's been a year of financial hell for her because her income's taken a tumble.

"Investing in the house was her way of securing a stable future. When she got the call to say the payment had been missed, she was gobsmacked."

Jade's career nosedived after the Celebrity Big Brother race row in January.

Her Living TV shows, Jade's PA and Just Jade, which earned her £150,000 a year, were scrapped. A £250,000 fly-on-the-wall show was also canned.

Her perfume Shh, which was expected to earn £75,000, was withdrawn, and plans to release her autobiography in paperback were dropped.

After being axed by her management in April, she admitted: "I'm living off savings."

Last year Jade's beauty salon Ugly's failed after she invested £50,000 in it. But friends insist she isn't broke and missed her mortgage payment because she accidentally gave her bank details for an old, empty bank account.

Her pal added: "There is money coming in. She just needs to get better organised."
