Jade back in UK after cancer shock
2:31am Wednesday 20th August 2008
Reality TV star Jade Goody broke down in tears as she arrived back in the UK after being diagnosed with cancer.
Goody, 27, learned she had cervical cancer while appearing in Bigg Boss - the Indian version of Big Brother. The mother of two flew into London's Heathrow Airport after a seven-hour flight from Mumbai, India.
Looking tired and drained the visibly upset Goody told airport personnel escorting her through the terminal: "I don't want any more I can't do this."
She broke down in tears as she was met by a number of photographers and left the airport through a private exit.
Just days before leaving for India and while awaiting test results, Goody spoke of her fears for her two children over her cancer.
The reality TV star revealed how she went into the Indian Big Brother house to pay the bills - knowing she could have the disease.
Doctors advised her that getting pregnant again could kill her and urged her to have a hysterectomy.
The single mother said in the interview with Reveal magazine: "I will worry for my beautiful boys if I get unwell. I live for them. I have to keep working to support my family. It's not an option to stop. I have to pay the bills at the end of the day."
The TV star's contracts dried up following the furore over her alleged racism in Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother. Her perfume, Shh..., was taken off the shelves and publishers decided to drop a paperback edition of her autobiography.
Goody was thought to be earning up to £100,000 for her appearance on the Indian show, called Bigg Boss.
