Watch Jade As Seen On TV online: Episode 1 Jade: As Seen On TV

TWO months after the 27-year-old mother-of two lost her battle against cervical cancer, this documentary attempts to understand the Jade Goody phenomenon. Jade celebrated her 21st birthday as one of the 14 housemates in the 2002 instalment of Big Brother. She gained notoriety by drunkenly lolling naked on the house sofa. Nearly voted out by viewers in her first week, she was saved by fellow housemates and eventually came fourth in the series. Defying all expectations, she then managed to carve out a lucrative career as a celebrity, frequently appearing in gossip magazines, the tabloids, and TV shows. And the truth is that, although more than 3,000 contestants have now taken part in Big Brother in more than 50 countries, Jade is the only one to have achieved such a sustained media career, earning millions in the six years after her TV debut. From her impoverished start in life through to her worldwide fame, this programme traces the incidents and events that kept her on the front pages, interviewing family, friends, close colleagues and commentators to ask how she became so well-known and why she inspired such contrary feelings in the public. Jade: As Seen On TV asks whether Jade's background, her class and lack of education, were the real reasons her detractors detested her so much. And why it caused others to compare her to Princess Diana.
