Jade Goody, 27-year-old star of Britain's version of Big Brother, found out she has life-threatening cancer while on television.
Goody, the mother of two sons (ages 3 and 5), was invited to be part of the Indian version of Big Brother after her racist exploits last year during the UK version spiked her to instant fame. She was in the Big Brother India house six days ago when producers called her into the Diary Room to break the news.
"One of the producers told me my doctor had been calling the show and I had to ring him urgently. I was totally confused and thought ironically it was either a stunt by the programme or a hoax call," Jade told The Sun.
It wasn't a hoax. The doctor told Goody, "You have cancer, Jade. It's real and it's serious." The cervical cancer is so serious (Stage 2, in fact) her doctors told
her that she'd die if she remained in India for the three-month duration of Big Brother.
She flew home immediately and will undergo a hysterectomy next week. Radiation and chemotherapy will follow. That has got to be some of the most awful news you could ever break to children, especially when they're so little.
Here's to hoping that she comes out of this with flying colors. Or is it colours? Those Brits and Canadians with all their extra vowels. And I freely admit to being a huge Big Brother fan, though I've never seen the UK version. What? Don't be hatin'.
