Defiant Jade Goody bares all about her battle with cervical cancer

Sitting in the bath with shorn hair, and naked - Jade Goody bared all about the effects of her cancer treatment in her new TV show last night.

In the first episode of Jade, the brave Big Brother star is shown receiving radiotherapy treatment, discussing the painful after-effects of her hysterectomy and chemotherapy, and breaking down in tears as she struggles to battle with cervical cancer.

Jade said in documentary: 'I am not embarrassed to talk about things. I feel better when I talk about it.

Personally being told I got something at such a young age with two kids and I have no control over, it just makes me think I don't care what people think about me or what they say, or judge me.'

She added: 'Radiotherapy is really quick it's just, going in the hospital, lying on a bed and having a machine go all the way around you.

'I have to drive an hour up and an hour back just for three minutes, but those three minutes could save my life.'

The former Big Brother star has had a number of shows on the cable channel, and decided to continue filming the show throughout her treatment.

She is seen going about her daily life as a mother, and celebrity, as well as undergoing treatment.

And in one lighter moment from the show comically gets herself into a bit of a tangle on a massage table.
