British television star Jade goody has died.

She died in her own home over on Sunday morning.

Jade has been battling cervical cancer since 2008.

Reality TV star Jade Goody has died at the age of 27.

She died at home with her family in Upshire, Essex, in the early hours of Sunday after a high-profile battle with cervical cancer.

Goody was diagnosed with the disease in 2008 but it spread to her liver, groin and bowel and she was told it was terminal in February.

Her mother Jackiey Budden, who was at her side as she died, said: "My beautiful daughter is at peace."

Goody shot to fame after being a contestant in the third series of Big Brother in 2002 and was taking part in a version of the show in India when she was told of her illness.

Tragic waste of such a young person, do not let her death be in vain be aware of any changes in your body. May she rest in peace and my sincere condolences to her family.

Being so close to her in age, this really gets to me - it's so important to take care of yourself. This is such a sad story. I remember doing a project on the Big Brother scandal for my MA and that was barely over a year ago...
