Jade Cerisa Lorraine Goody (5 June 1981 – 22 March 2009) was an English media personality. She was a contestant on the third series of the Channel 4 reality show Big Brother in 2002. Following her eviction from the show, Goody went on to star in her own television programmes, which in turn led to her launching a variety of products under her own name.[1][2]

Immediately criticised by the British press for her perceived lack of decorum and intelligence,[3] Goody was dubbed by multiple outlets as "the most hated woman in Britain".[4] The country's celebrity magazines were less derisive, publishing reports of her affable nature and competent school performance from those who knew her.[3] Public opinion of Goody reached its most negative in January 2007, when she was involved in the Big Brother racism controversy while appearing as a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother 5.[5][6] Following her eviction, she made a number of apologies,[7] but continued to garner negative public reactions.[8][9]

In August 2008, Goody participated in Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Big Brother,[10] but left the show early and returned to the UK after finding out that she had cervical cancer.[11] By February 2009, the cancer had metastasized and she was terminally ill.[12][13] Goody died from cervical cancer in the early hours of 22 March 2009, at the age of 27. Public opinion of Goody had softened by the time of her death.[5] Sky Living broadcast five tribute shows from 2009 to 2012, documenting her life.
