Jade Goody Programme on channel 4

I was never a big fan of hers but this show is making me feel very sad. Jade was in her own way quite vulnerable and naive and she was treated horribly by the press. She did some stupid things on camera including stripping off (though the other contestants made no effort to tell her it wasn't the best idea and that awful Kate whatsherface looked positively gleeful) but I feel for her more now than I did then.

And to think she was so full of life and was taken so young is just heart breaking

Her agent John Noel comes across very badly. The smirk he gives when he says it was his idea to end their contract and give her to Max Clifford is telling. Arsehole.

From one pimp to another frankly

I am fucking horrified anyone thought it was a good idea to tell her she had cancer live on the tv. It's beyond disgusting. And how could her doctor agree to that? She should have been told in private with someone she was close to present for support

Yes I thought that about her doctor!

MmmBlowholes · 21/08/2019 21:46

I felt awful watching her find out she has cancer on live TV - I knew she found out whilst she was in the bb house but didn't know it was shown on TV to that extent.

I'm finding this last episode really hard to watch. I am seeing it differently than I remember at the time.

colouringinpro · 21/08/2019 21:47

All the media types come across as complete scum imo.

Namechange3007 · 21/08/2019 21:49

Also watching it knowing what we now know about Max Clifford.

She didn't say no because she was a profoundly damaged person, damaged by her childhood. Disgusting.

colouringinpro · 21/08/2019 21:52

i dont know if it's right or wrong???

Figgygal · 21/08/2019 21:54

It's just so horrible
Wtf was mark wright doing at the wedding

Exactly.

MmmBlowholes · 21/08/2019 22:03

I did like what the one guy said "we were exploiting each other" - not that that makes their exploitation of her justifiable but at least she got something out of them too.

I struggled watching it knowing that she has left two kids behind.

I think the biggest injustice in all of this is that she was survived by her crackhead mother.

Hopefullyendsmeet · 21/08/2019 22:03

Jackie was an absolutely appalling mother. Poor poor Jade.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 21/08/2019 22:03

How the fuck did that skank of an abusive drug addict dare to say what a beautiful life Jade had? [anger] how could they finish with that line from the scumbag that had her drinking and handling drugs from before she was even ten??

colouringinpro · 21/08/2019 22:10

I agree. Way to much Jackie.

HelenaDove · 21/08/2019 22:11

Exactly @colouringinpro She was starved of parental love and guidance.

CallMeOnMyCell · 21/08/2019 22:12

Yeah it was a strange ending and Jackiey is deluded if she thinks Jade had a wonderful life! WTH!

Inappropriatefemale · 21/08/2019 22:12

Mark Wright was a friend of Jack Tweeds, hence Mark being at the wedding.

Howlongtillbedtime · 21/08/2019 22:12

Am I being naive in being pleased that Jack wasn't in the programme ?
It felt like a good thing that at least one person she loved wasnt still living off her memory.

Namechange3007 · 21/08/2019 22:13

He was in the programme.

Howlongtillbedtime · 21/08/2019 22:14

Oh! I missed that.

Hopefullyendsmeet · 21/08/2019 22:14

What? He was heavily involved in the programme Confused

Frangipane · 21/08/2019 22:15

Jack was in the programme, wasn't he? Did I mistake him for someone else? I thought it was him, trying to muster some tears, thinking about Jade. The worst act ever.
