Jade Cerise Lorraine Goody (5 June 1981 - 22 March 2009) was an English media personality. Prior Goody's entry into the Big Brother house, she was a dental nurse. Goody lived with her sons in Upshire, a village in Essex. Her father, Andrew Robert Goody (February 1963 - August 2005), who was of mixed race, was a drug addict and habitual criminal, who served prison sentences including a four-year term for robbery. He and Goody's mother, Jackiey Budden (April 1958), split up when Goody was two, and he became estranged from Goody, whilst Goody's mother brought her up in Bermondsey. Goody's father died of a drug overdose in Bournemouth, aged 42.
Goody had a relationship with TV presenter and fellow reality television regular Jeff Brazier, the father of her two sons, both born in Harlow, Essex: Bobby Jack Brazier, born in 2003, and Freddie Brazier, the following year. In 2005, Goody had a six month relationship with footballer Ryan Amoo.
In early 2008 she purchased a brand new Bentley Continental GTC sports car worth £130,000. In March 2008, the Daily Mail reported Goody had become involved in "vicious fight with a female partygoer at an Essex nightclub before turning her rage onto a security guard".
She was subsequently in a relationship with Jack Tweed (1987, Waltham Forest, Greater London), who appeared alongside her on Celebrity Big Brother.
In June 2007, Goody suffered a miscarriage, during the relationship. Following numerous allegations of Tweed being unfaithful the pair broke up. Goody confirmed she was dating again, and said of Tweed: "Some days, I felt more like his mum than his lover...I'll never date a toy boy again.". However, they resumed their relationship.
Tweed lived with Goody and her children in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, until he was imprisoned. He and another man were convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm for attacking a 16-year-old boy in December 2006. He served four of an eighteen-month sentence before being released, on 27 January 2009, on electronic monitoring and subject to a strict curfew. On 15 February 2009, Goody exchanged rings with Tweed in a private informal ceremony on the banks of the River Thames. Tweed and Goody married on Sunday 22 February at Down Hall country house near Hatfield Heath, Essex. Goody wore a £3,500 Manuel Mota dress, given to her by Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed. The couple signed an exclusive £700,000 deal with OK! Magazine for photographs of the ceremony. Tweed was granted an exemption to his curfew for the night of 22/23 February. On 3 March 2009, Tweed was convicted of common assault for attacking a taxi driver in May 2008. At Harlow Magistrates Court, on 14 April 2009, he was sentenced to 12 weeks' imprisonment.

Cancer:
Goody had a number of health scares throughout the 2000s. In 2002, shortly before her Big Brother 3 appearance, she had a cervical smear test which revealed abnormal cells, a possible indicator of cancer. She was later tested for ovarian cancer in 2004 and bowel cancer in 2006, but was given the all-clear on each occasion. She underwent hospital tests in early August 2008 after her fourth cancer scare. She had already collapsed four times. The test results confirmed she had cervical cancer; she was told of this on 19 August 2008 while in the Indian version of Big Brother, called Big Boss. Her spokesperson said, "It looks like her cancer is at an early stage but we will have to wait until she gets back to Britain and sees a specialist and has more tests".
On 1 September 2008 it was reported that Goody's cancer was "advanced and life-threatening" and that she would be having an operation followed by chemotherapy.
In an interview with Irish broadcasting company RTÉ she admitted having started planning her funeral. Furthermore, Goody told the broadcaster that she was losing all her hair and had decided not to explain her illness to her children. On 4 February 2009, Goody's publicist confirmed that Goody's cancer had spread to her liver, bowel and groin. On 7 February, Clifford reported that Goody had undergone emergency surgery in London to remove a tumor on her bowel. On 14 February, doctors at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London had declared her cancer as terminal and that she could be dead within weeks.
Goody then began drawing up a will and making plans for the future care of her two sons. On 5 March 2009, Goody requested to be from her bed at the Royal Marsden Hospital. On 7 March she and her sons were christened. Clifford confirmed that this would be Goody's last public appearance, and that she had already said her goodbyes to her family.
When news broke that Goody's cancer was terminal, medical authorities in the UK began reporting a surge in requests from women, particularly younger women, for screening for cervical cancer.
As a result of the publicity surrounding Goody's illness, on 13 March 2009 government health ministers agreed to review the NHS's policy of not offering screening for cervical cancer until the age of 25 in England (it is 20 in the rest of the UK). Goody issued a press release the same day, saying that she was "immensely proud" that she had helped prompt the review .

Death:
Goody died in her sleep in the early hours of 22 March 2009 (Mother's Day). The reported exact time of her death varies by news source.
Her mother Jackiey Budden, husband Jack Tweed, and family friend Kevin Adams were by Goody's bedside when she died. Goody's funeral service took place at noon on 4 April 2009 at St John's Church, Buckhurst Hill, Essex. Later that day she was buried near her home in Epping Forest. The funeral cortège consisted of 21 cars, one of which was a Bentley used by the family. Several celebrities sent flowers, including David and Victoria Beckham and Simon Cowell. Davina McCall, Jamelia and Antony Costa were among the celebrity guests. It was estimated that the funeral cost £30,000.
Goody's coffin was white, and she was buried wearing her wedding dress and with two pictures, one of each of her sons, by her side. Goody's two sons didn't attend the funeral, having been taken by their father to Australia.
Thousands of mourners followed the funeral service on big screens outside the church. The funeral was also broadcast live on Sky News, which followed the service from outside, as Goody had wished to keep it a private ceremony for friends and family.
