Heartbreak as Jade Goody loses her cancer battle and dies on Mother's Day with Jack and her mum by her side

Jade Goody died in her sleep today, her publicist Max Clifford said.

The reality TV star, who suffered a public battle with cervical cancer, died at her home in Upshire, Essex, at 3.14am on Mother's Day. Goody's mother Jackiey Budden said: 'My beautiful daughter is at peace.'

Mr Clifford said Goody's mother Jackiey and husband Jack Tweed were at her side. A family friend, Kevin Adams, was also there. 'I think she's going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives," he said, referring to how her public battle with cancer has raised awareness of the disease.

'She was a very, very brave girl,' he said.
'And she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage.' (Daily Mail)
