jade goodyJade Goody has revealed she’s been planning her own funeral since being diagnosed with cervical cancer in August.

Last month the former Big Brother star underwent an eight-hour radical hysterectomy and is facing a long course of chemotherapy - but doctors are said to have only given her a 50% chance of survival.

She told OK! magazine that she’s having to deal with the realities of the situation - and that means making all sorts of unpleasant preparations: “Most people plan their weddings. But I’m planning my funeral. I’d want to have an open funeral and let everyone who wanted to come along.

“Maybe at my funeral someone could send me a wreath in the shape of a Marmite bottle with the words underneath, ‘You either loved her or hated her’.

“Some people say they don’t want people crying, but I want people to cry over me. And I don’t want anyone to have a booze up when I’m dead. They should have a cup of tea and be crying.

“There are people out there who think I deserve to be sick and to die, but I’d never wish that on anyone, not even Bin Laden, not that he has a womb. This isn’t something I’ve brought on myself.”

She added: “I know one celebrity thinks it’s disgusting that I’m making money from an illness … but then that same celebrity - alright, Jordan - sells stories on her disabled child. I’ve not said, ‘Give me cancer and I’ll sell a story.’

“And let’s not forget she was on the cover of every magazine when she had cancer on her finger.

“She might not like me but she didn’t have to say something like that. I won’t rise to her - what is wrong with her?

“To be honest, I don’t want to comment on her shallow behaviour. I don’t like her, in fact I hate her, I can’t f****** stand her.”
