Jade Cerisa Lorraine Goody was a dental nurse before becoming famous for her appearance in UK reality TV show Big Brother in 2002. Her downfall from fame was due to her bullying and racist remarks in a similar TV show, Celebrity Big Brother in 2007. Her appearance in an Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss was cut short after she was diagnosed with a cervical cancer in Aug 2008. She was in the media limelight again due to her sickness and a huge publicized marriage on 22 Feb 2009 to boyfriend Jack Tweed. Apparently her cancer was terminal. She died a month after that.
This particular painting was done from her appearance in the Sun newspaper apologizing for her racist remarks against an Indian artist, Shilpa Shetty in 2007. Her rise and fall and rise again was all due to media. I felt sorry for her. RIP Jade
