Jade gets a Big Brother special
|
The Big Brother powers that be have made a dramatic U-turn and announced they will pay tribute to the late Jade Goody in a special show this summer. The show had previously encountered criticism for its failure to honour the tragic star, who died of cancer in March.
“We weren’t going to do a dedicated show on Jade because she had only just died and everyone was a little overwhelmed by it all. It took a few weeks for her death to truly sink in,” sniffled a Big Brother insider. “But it was clear from the support Jade and her family got from the public that there is great affection for her.
“We are planning a series of shows to mark our 10th anniversary and it would be a real shame not to give Jade her own show – separate from the others,” continued the mole.
The documentary will go out on E4 later in the summer, and will chart the girl from Bermondsey’s rise to stardom following her stint in the Big Brother house in 2002. Telly bigwigs reckon the show will be “a celebration of her life rather than a sad look backwards”.
