Jade Goody leaves India with cancer
Tuesday, 19th August 2008
Jade Goody was forced to leave Celebrity Big Brother India yesterday after learning she has cervical cancer.
The 27-year-old was called to the Diary Room to be told by her doctor she has suspected cervical cancer.
Jade had a biopsy recently after a series of collapses.
The reality TV star burst into tears and re-entered the house to hysterically tell shocked housemates: "I have cancer".
Jade immediately left the house to fly back to the UK for treatment.
Her spokesman Mark Thomas said: "She went for tests and results have come back and she has cancer of the womb.
"She was phoned up and informed. This is a massive blow for her.
"It is pretty obvious that she was looking forward to her time in the house.
"But her health is the first priority and she is flying back for treatment and more tests."
Goody was thought to be earning up to £100,000 for her appearance on the show, which she went on to try to convince people she's not a racist.
This follows the global row which occurred when Jade was accused of racist bullying towards Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on last year's UK Celebrity Big Brother.
Ironically, the Indian show, called Bigg boss, is hosted by 33 year-old Shetty.
Jade, meanwhile is shortly expected to land in the UK for further tests and treatment.
