British TV star Jade Goody dead: publicist

By AFP

British TV reality star Jade Goody died in her sleep at home early Sunday, her publicist Max Clifford said.

Goody, who suffered a public battle with cervical cancer, died at her home in Upshire, Essex, at 3:14 am (0314 GMT).

Goody's mother Jackiey Budden said: "My beautiful daughter is at peace."

Goody, a 27-year-old former south London dental nurse, found fame on reality television programme "Big Brother" in 2002.

She sparked a major race row on the celebrity edition of the show in 2007 after subjecting Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty to racist bullying.

Goody married boyfriend Jack Tweed last month and was christened with her sons this month, events which both drew huge media interest here.

On Tuesday, her publishers revealed she would be publishing a diary of her dying days.
