British reality TV star Jade Goody dead

London: British reality TV star Jade Goody succumbed to cancer, her spokesman Max Clifford confirmed on Sunday.

Goody died at home in Upshire, Essex, in the early hours of Sunday (UK Time) after a very public battle with cancer.

Goody's cancer diagnosis had come while she was shooting for reality TV show Bigg Boss 2 in India. She had to quit the show just weeks after joining it in order to go back home and start therapy.

In February, she was told it was terminal. The actor was being treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London but wanted to die at home with her family.

Doctors had said that the disease spread to her liver, groin and bowel.

Jade Goody begged doctors to kill her after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, it has emerged. She had asked the doctors for a fatal injection or pill that would end her suffering, reports the website of the British tabloid The Sun.

Jade has secured the future of her sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four as well as donated generously to various charities, according to reports. Reportedly, there is also a will in place by the actor about how her funeral should be conducted.

Actress Shilpa Shetty had rushed to London to meet her former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jade Goody on hearing that the British reality TV star was close to death but was not allowed to meet her due to her failing condition.

On Monday Jade Goody had bid goodbye to her sons because she did not want them witness her death.
