As the UK’s most famous reality TV star, Jade Goody has lived out many of the most important events of her life on camera. And now in a horrible twist of fate, the once-radiant 27-year-old mother-of-two is capturing her final days on film after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

In what has become a tragic real-life soap opera that has captivated millions around the world, the former UK Big Brother housemate is documenting her remaining weeks, including her wedding to her jailbird lover as well as her children’s baptisms.

“I’ve lived in front of the cameras. And maybe I’ll die in front of them,” a defiant Jade told the UK’s News Of The World newspaper, defending her decision to reveal her most personal and painful moments to the public.

Jade, whose cervical cancer diagnosis was revealed to her live on camera during her stint on an Indian reality TV show, has been told the disease has spread to her groin, liver and bowel. She insists her motive in offering her final moments to the highest bidder is to provide for her sons’ futures.

“I know some people don’t like what I’m doing. But at this point, I really don’t care what other people think,” she told News Of The World. “And yes, people will say that I’m doing this for the money, and they’re right, I am. But not to buy flash cars or big houses. It’s for my sons’ future if I’m not here.”
