Goody, 27, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August last year, is survived by her two sons Freddy and Bobby and husband Jack Tweed.

Goody’s Life Sketch

Goody worked as a dental nurse before gaining popularity by appearing on the Channel 4 reality show 'Big Brother' in 2002. She published her autobiography in 2006 titled "Jade: My Autobiography" and launched her own fragrance "Shh...Jade Goody".

Goody re-entered the celebrity edition of 'Big Brother' with her mother and boyfriend Jack Tweed in 2007 where Indian actress Shilpa Shetty also participated.

While on the show, Goody gained notoriety for allegedly bullying and racially abusing Shilpa, with the episode snowballing into an international controversy. She became a villain in the eyes of Indian public with the media splashing the pictures of a crying Shilpa.

The allegations affected Goody's meteoric rise as a popular star in Britain. In her effort to improve her image, Goody decided to appear on the Indian version of Big Brother, "Bigg Boss", which was anchored by Shilpa.

Goody was still in India when she received news that she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The star left the show to return to UK to begin treatment.

Goody married boyfriend Tweed on February 22 in a lavish ceremony.
