Jade ’considered suicide’ 31 Jan - 2007
Celebrity Big Brother loser Jade Goody has claimed that the row over her bullying behaviour on the TV reality show led her to consider suicide.
In an interview with Heat magazine, Jade revealed that she is apparently so terrified of being targeted by a hate campaign that she employs a security guard to order her food.
"He sleeps in a room next door. I can’t answer the phone and he won’t let me order my own food. I have to ask for everything," said Jade, who has been living in a hotel for the past week.
"The other day he made me choose something from room service. I’m so f****** thick, I ordered a chicken tikka masala. Then, when I got it I couldn’t eat it.
"But I was too scared to leave it on the plate. I didn’t want anyone to think I didn’t like Indian food."
Jade has been condemned for her treatment of Bollywood beauty and eventual CBB winner Shilpa Shetty during their time as housemates.
Asked if she has felt suicidal since leaving the Big Brother house, she sobbed: "I thought maybe I should just disappear. That it would be better for everyone if I just wasn’t here."
Meanwhile, Shilpa will give her first major TV interview since leaving the house to Sky News and Sky One on Thursday.
The actress could also be set for a starring role in a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bollywood musical Bombay Dreams.
Jade in rehab? - Jan 30 2007
Celebrity Big Brother loser Jade Goody is reportedly in rehab suffering from stress and depression.
The 25-year-old mum-of-two collapsed at home on Sunday - just hours before the final of the Channel 4 show - after seeing her boyfriend Jack Tweed take the mickey out of her in the show’s final task, according to The Sun.
A source told the newspaper: "Jade has struggled since leaving the house a week ago and learning that she has become the most hated figure in
"She’s a real mess. She’s been up and down - one minute she seems to rally, the next she was falling apart.
"But watching the housemates replay her rant at Shilpa sent her over the edge. She collapsed with stress and her GP said ’I have to refer you to the Priory’. She was driven there immediately."
Jack, 19, was reportedly spotted visiting the famous clinic yesterday. Jade is now being monitored by doctors before deciding on treatment.
Jade’s autobiography pulled - Jan 26 2007
The paperback version of Jade’s autobiography will not be published next month as planned.
The book was due to hit the shelves on February 5 but publisher HarperCollins has decided to pull the plug as a result of the Celebrity Big Brother race row.
A spokeswoman said: "In light of recent events, HarperCollins has decided it wouldn’t be appropriate to proceed with the paperback publication of Jade: My Autobiography as planned on February 5. The author and agent support this decision."
Jade is believed to have made almost £1 million from sales of the hardback version.
The paperback was due to feature an extra chapter which HarperCollins previously said was "guaranteed to illuminate

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.
