Reality TV star Jade Goody lost her fight to cervical cancer on Sunday morning. This was confirmed by the 27-year old star’s publicist Max Clifford.

According to Clifford, Goody died in her sleep during the wee hours of Sunday at her home in Essex, England.

The former dental assistant rose into fame seven years ago when she joined the hit reality TV show “Big Brother.” Her popularity at that time merited another chance in the series via the “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2007 wherein she got in heated arguments with fellow housemates especially Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. Both had reconciled after the show.

For a third time, Goody participated in the “Big Brother” series this time via a celebrity edition in India. However, her stint at the show was short since a medical diagnosis revealed that she has cervical cancer. She immediately went home to Britain.

It was found out that her cancer is already in terminal stage and it would take her only a few months to live. In order to ensure her children’s future, Goody allowed public coverage of her struggles in exchange of payment. Her wedding last month got wide media coverage.
