This is obviously bollocks, but I always thought about propelling a conspiracy theory of my own. It's not meant to offend, sorry if it does.
Jade Goody was an actress/set up.
After the success of the first two Big Brother series, the media wanted to have their star in place before the series even started. They found a 20 year old actress and told her to go in there and be as thick as possible, and to produce numerous soundbites to make her character memorable and entertaining.
On being told that Cambridge is in East Anglia, she assumed that to be abroad, and referred to it as "East Angular".[20] Her other misconceptions included that Rio de Janeiro was a person, not a city, that Portugal was part of Spain, that the St George's Cross was not the flag of England but only the flag of London, that Aberdeen was not in Scotland and that the United States was not an English-speaking country.
The media controlled her popularity. She went from a hate figure to one of the most popular contestants on the show due to the way she was presented.
She had become popular with a substantial proportion of the media and general public, and as a result stayed in the house until the final week; she finished fourth.
From 2003 to 2006 she was a rags to riches cash cow, reaching new levels of coverage for a reality TV contestant. TV shows and appearances, books, perfumes. Like Victoria Beckham but even less talented.
Goody had ranked number 25 in a poll by Heat for the most influential person in the world. Her lifetime earnings were said to be between £2 million and £8 million.
With fear of going off the radar of the public, she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house. But with a motive from the people who controlled her - she was to be the ring leader in a race row with an Indian actress. She was used to highlight the underlying element of racism in the country, and exposed as a bad person.
By this time, those that controlled her realised that there was not much more money to be made from her. She was past her sell by date.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Goody admitted that, during her final hours in the Channel 4 house, Big Brother had revealed that her abuse of Shilpa had ruined her own "girl-next-door" image.
So before she exited the pubic eye they made her a martyr.
When news broke that Goody's cancer was terminal, medical authorities in the UK began reporting a surge in requests from women, particularly younger women, for screening for cervical cancer. This reversed a trend which had seen demand for screening decline overall in the past decade, with the highest decline being among women aged 25–29.
As a result of the publicity surrounding Goody's illness, on 13 March 2009 government health ministers agreed to review the NHS's policy of not offering screening for cervical cancer until the age of 25 in England (it is 20 in the rest of the UK). Goody issued a press release the same day, saying that she was "immensely proud" that she had helped prompt the review.
