London, Aug 19: Reality TV star Jade Goody has been diagnosed with cancer and has withdrawn from the this seasons 'Bigg Boss', the Indian version of the famed reality show 'Big Brother'. The infamous housemate will now be flying back home for treatment.
According to Goody's spokesman, the news was broken to the 27-year-old, mother of two while she was appearing in the show. "She went for tests and results have come back and she has cervical cancer".
A UK based daily that broke the news reported that Goody was called into the Diary Room, where she was made to speak with her consultant in the UK by telephone and soon after getting the news she burst into tears and ran into the house in hysterics, telling housemates: "I have cancer".
"She was phoned up and informed. This is a massive blow for her", said the spokesman.
The newspaper reports claim that Goody had undergone hospital tests earlier this month after her third cancer scare. It followed four mystery collapses.
She had apparently agreed to participate in 'Bigg Boss' as she wanted to make amends for being accused of being a racist during last year`s UK edition of Celebrity Big Brother, where Goody had referred to Shilpa Shetty as "Shilpa Poppadom" and thereafter the makers of the reality show had received more than 50,000 complaints about Goody, Danielle Lloyd and former S Club singer Jo O`Meara`s alleging racist bullying.
Goody was later evicted through an audience vote from 'Big Brother', which Shetty had ultimately won.
'Bigg Boss', the desi version was featuring 14 Indian celebrities and was hosted by actress Shilpa Shetty, Goody had allegedly got £100,000 for her appearance on the show. Endemol, the production house hasn't commented on the same as yet but is expected to replace Goody with a new contestant as the series has just begun.
