Big Brother star Jade Goody has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The reality TV star that was appearing in India’s version of Big Brother has had to leave the show and fly back home to London so that she can undergo surgery.
Her spokesman had told Reuters “Jade was really looking forward to her time in the house, but her health is the most important thing.” He also added “She is going to come home immediately for treatment.”
The Indian version of Big Brother is called Bigg Boss and is being hosted by Shilpa Shetty. She was the Bollywood actress who came under racial abuse by Jade Goody and others in the house, although Shetty did play down the racial abuse.
In most cases of cervical cancer, it is caused by sexually transmitted human papilloma virus. This is the second most common type of cancer for women and kills about 800 women each year in England alone.
