At 24, Jade has had a life that reads more like a soap opera and she now tells her extraordinary story. From being abandoned by her father, to caring for her mother, and bringing up 2 kids on her own, Jade reveals far more than the tabloids have ever known, and her autobiography will have you crying with tears of laughter, sympathy and disbelief.

From the moment Jade Goody opened her mouth on national TV in 2002, the unofficial winner of Big Brother had already claimed her crown. With such conversational gems as ‘Where is East Angular? I thought it was abroad’, ‘Rio de Janeiro, ain't that a person?’ and ‘They were trying to use me as an escape goat’, it wasn't long before Jade was the most talked about woman in the country.

Three years later and Jade still sells more tabloids and magazines than any reality TV star in history. Every aspect of her life has been a source of fascination – from being abandoned by her father and living with a lesbian mother, to her volatile relationship with her ex-boyfriend Jeff Brazier and even her recent boob job – the national obsession with Jade Goody shows no sign of stopping.

As a young kid growing up in Bermondsey and Peckham, Jade was either in foster care or acting as a 'carer' for her mum Jackiey, who lost the use of her left arm in a motorbike accident. Jade remembers waking up aged six, having to drag her mum out of their burning house when Jackiey's bed caught fire on the candles she had lit hours before.

Such dramas have continued to this very day. In this book Jade talks in full for the first time about her life, from what really went on under the sheets with PJ in the BB house and the mental scars she suffered when the tabloids labelled her ‘Pig Brother’, to meeting Jeff, falling pregnant (twice) and finding a whole heap of celebrity friends.

Heart-rending, hilarious and shockingly revealing, this book will give a fascinating insight into Jade’s extraordinary life.

Jade: My Autobiography

Love her or hate her, this autobiography reveals the real Jade Goody. Plenty of people talk about no-holds-barred, revelatory autobiographies but few could boast the brutal honesty of Goody's life story, as told very much in her own words.

The public world knew nothing of Jade Goody until she entered the 'Big Brother' house back in 2002. Immediately the feisty, strong-willed, if slightly clueless, Goody made an impression. She said exactly what she felt, very obviously without thinking. Her silly questions became the catchphrases of the summer, with people continuing to wonder where exactly East Angular was!

But underneath the ditzy exterior lies one very tough lady and a read of her story will certainly confirm that to any doubters. In 'Jade: My Autobiography' Goody looks back over her life to date in a very fond manner, refusing to gloss over her upbringing in favour of the more glitzy elements of her new life, since finding fame.

At times, her story is nothing short of shocking, as she tells how, as a young child, she would hide her mother's stashes of drugs before police raids, go shoplifting and witness her mother and friends dabbling in illegal substances.

There is no detail spared as Goody journeys back through her childhood. But for all the misery, crime and neglect, the book is remarkably upbeat. Goody refuses to be a victim. She tells even the most horrific of stories with such humour and unique turn-of-phrase that sympathy would feel like a misplaced emotion. Her wild and rambling stories are filled with imagination and wit instead of blame and that is the strength of the book.

Fans of 'Big Brother' won't be disappointed either as Goody dishes the dirt on her fellow housemates and explains all the secrets of the house. The book is also beautifully illustrated with some lovely photographs from the television star's childhood and her life in the media spotlight.

Goody rarely fails to make an impact – she either gets right up your nose with her silly comments or she totally endears herself to you with her broad smile and cheery personality. And both of those very particular traits are very much present here.

Even if you've never heard of Jade Goody, which is getting more and more unlikely with each new reality show that she graces, you could still enjoy these witty anecdotes very much.

Jade: My Autobiography by Jade Goody

A Mariah Carey concert. Better even than East 17. Mariah throws me a big ball thing. Everyone thought I was going to be Mariah Carey when I went on Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes, but my agent told me to do Lynn Anderson instead (whoever she is), and I even went up to Cat Deeley and said, "Tonight Matthew, I'm ... " How braindead is that? But I won anyway. So I can do something, and sod the lot of you.

Who would have thought I'd ever be famous? When I heard them shouting "Pig" outside the big Brother House, I just wanted to sob. But then Davina told me I was a star, and I nudged her and replied, "More than can be said for you."

My dad was a heroin addict and never gave me anything except a couple of things that he nicked. He told my mum his name was Cyrus, so she went and had his name tattoed on her arm and then she found out he was called Antony, after all. Still, she recently had a Hollywood and a butterfly tattooed on her la-la , so it doesn't seem so bad now.

I used to roll joints for my mum when I was four years old because I've always wanted to be helpful, and my mum gave me a huge kiss after I managed to hide all the stolen chequebooks in the freezer when the police raided us. I've always loved my mum, even when people took the piss out of her for being a one-armed lesbian.

Of course, my mum wasn't always a lesbian and she tells me she never goes down on women herself, she just likes having it done to her. She says her arm got paralysed when she had an accident on the back of my uncle Budgie's motorbike. When we got compensation from the council, we got loads more friends and even went to Egypt, which was minging because there was too much sand.

I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here. I wasn't much good at school and my first sex was with a bloke I gave a hand job to, which was well disgusting. I got better at it though and after I got done for shoplifting - not my fault as I walked out of a shop without paying by mistake and when I saw how easy it was I naturally decided to go back and take a whole lot more stuff on purpose - I had four boyfriends on the go at once. Two of 'em were called Danny and the other two were both called Matthew.

So when I went on Big Brother my life was in a bit of a state, especially as my Mum had taken up with a crack addict. I don't remember much about the life in the house as I was well pissed and how embarrassing was it to discover I had given PJ a blow job? And I do know where East Angular is now. It's parked outside Tesco.

Everyone was well and truly gutted - especially that two-faced minger Kate - when I became the most famous contestant, even though I didn't win. I loved it, though.

Today, my life has never been better. It's a shame my relationships with Jeff and Ryan never worked out, and I'm still struggling with bulimia after the toothbrush slipped down my throat. But I've got two beautiful boys, I've been on TV a lot, and I've got my own beauty salon called Ugly's. What more could a girl want?
