Jade Goody
- Profession: Reality TV Star
- Place/Date of Birth: Bermondsey, 05 June 2020
- Associated with: Celebrity Big Brother, Shilpa Shetty
Jade, who has two sons, had hoped for a girl. "I dreamt of having a girl and even secretly imagined dressing her in pink," she said. "This year it’s been one thing after another. But after losing the baby I thought I’d never recover."
Jade’s career nosedived after Celebrity Big Brother. She told the magazine she has "no one to blame but myself" for her problems.
"Last year, everything I touched turned to gold. My perfume was outselling the Beckhams’ and I was at the peak of my career, so I was probably due a tumble. I didn’t expect it to be so bad, but it’s made me stronger," she said.
Jade banned from driving - July 5 2007
Jade Goody has been given a six-month driving ban after admitting a series of motoring offences.
The former Big Brother contestant appeared at Basildon Magistrates Court where she admitted driving her BMW car with a provisional driving licence on November 3 on the M1 motorway at Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire.
She also pleaded guilty to driving the vehicle otherwise in accordance with her licence and to driving with no insurance.
Jade, 26, pleaded guilty to two further offences of driving otherwise in accordance with her licence and without insurance on March 27 in Brentwood,
Sentencing, magistrates’ chairman Richard Albon ordered the TV star to pay more than £1,500 in fines and court costs and said 14 points would be added to her driving licence, meaning she would be banned under the totting-up procedure.
Philip Kelly, mitigating for Jade, said she had made a "genuine mistake" in driving without a licence and insurance.
He said she had passed her test three years ago but had not completed the necessary paperwork to get a full driving licence.
He added that Jade had accidentally cancelled her car insurance, believing the policy related to her home insurance.
And he told the court a driving ban would cause exceptional hardship.
"She is a single mother with two dependent children. She receives no support from the child’s father," he said, adding that she was "totally dependent" on her car for getting around and transporting her children, one of whom has "behavioural problems".

A source told The Sun: "She was told there was nothing the doctors could do."
The source added: "Now she is absolutely devastated. The pregnancy came as a surprise, though she and Jack were looking forward to the baby after a very tough few months."

Jade caused a tabloid frenzy the minute she walked into the BB house with her idiotic questions and unbelievable lack of common sense. She asked if East Anglia was near Tunisia and if Cambridge was in London, she took her clothes off to reveal her ’kebab’, administered the infamous PJ BJ and got a minging verruca.
The tabloids branded her a fat pig and she bitched about all of her fellow housemates openly but somehow she made it through to the final four and gained thousands of fans along the way. When Jade left the house, she was interviewed on any and every chat show in the country, appeared on the cover of Heat five times (she was even their biggest selling cover star) and even had a Channel 4 follow up documentary, What Jade Did Next, made about her in the weeks following her eviction.
Having dropped three dress sizes in matter of months, the Bermondsey girl made one of the most successful exercise videos ever, even beating skinny Geri Halliwell’s yoga workout effort to the top DVD chart spot. In the meantime Jade fell in love with Jeff Brazier, Shipwrecked’s Essex wide boy and became pregnant with her first son, Bobby. Jeff and Jade have been on an off ever since, but have recently opened a tanning salon and beauty parlour together following Jade’s qualification as a beauty therapist.
Jade Goody remains a reality TV show legend most recently appearing in Celebrity Wife Swap with Millionaire cheat Major Charles Ingram while heavily pregnant and hormonal and Back To Reality, Five’s flop Big Brother rip off in which Jade showed the nation she hadn’t learnt anything new, asking James Hewitt if he’d been ’sworded’ and if wood pigeons were like ferrets.
