jade goodyJade Goody has revealed that she once smokes crack-cocaine in an effort to scare her mum out of using the drug.

The Big Brother star, who is preparing for a hysterectomy on Friday in a bid to prevent her cervical cancer from spreading, has made the revelation in her new autobiography ‘Jade: Catch a Falling Star’.

She explained: “I decided to show [mum Jackiey] how nasty and heartbreaking it was to see a member of your family - your own flesh and blood - killing themselves in front of your eyes.

“I felt dirty and disgusting. [I asked her] ‘How does it make you (Jackiey) feel watching me do this?’

“I couldn’t even smoke it all, it made me feel too ill. I ran to the toilet, stuck my fingers down my throat and made myself sick, and sick, and sick.”

She added that she then shut herself in her bedroom for two days and had a full-on fight with Jackiey when she emerged, which left her with a black eye: “It had got to the point where I’d asked her (Jackiey) to choose either me or the crack - and she’d chosen the crack.”

Jackiey eventually gave up drugs and appeared on last year’s controversial Celebrity Big Brother with Jade and Jade’s now imprisoned on-off boyfriend Jack Tweedy.
