Goody flies back to UK after cancer scare
JADE Goody has left the Indian Big Brother house after she received news she has cancer.
The 27-year-old spent just two days in the house before producers broke the news to her. Local news channels said Goody had told contestants on the show – the Indian version of “Celebrity Big Brother” – that test results suggested she may have cervical cancer.
She is now returning to Britain where she will undergo further tests.
In a statement released by the production company behind the show, host Shilpa Shetty said her thoughts were with her former housemate.
She said: “It is unbelievable how life is so unpredictable and finds a way to distract and derail you from your plans. My prayers are with Jade, her family in this hour, when they face one of the biggest tests of their life, in times ahead.”
Goody’s entrance into the house saw her come face-to-face with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty for the first time since the two were embroiled in a race scandal 18 months ago.
The duo embraced on television during the live launch of the show.
Goody said she wanted the Indian public to “see more of me” before she made her way into the house.
