Jade Goody: I told doctors to kill me

Reality TV star asked them to put her out of her misery

Jade Goody is mum to sons Freddie and Bobby

Jade Goody wanted to end her life when she was told her cancer was terminal.

The Big Brother star asked doctors to kill her so her kids could 'get on with their lives'.

‘I just wanted to give up,’ Jade admits. ‘When my boys came to see me that’s when it hit me most.

'I just broke down. I was like: “God, why would you give me two lovely kids, only to take them away again?”

'It was really hard to deal with. I felt like I was losing everything.

'So I said to my doctors: “I just want to go now, just give me an injection or a tablet.”’

But Jade is determined to make the most of the time she has left.

'I'm being positive now, it's harder to be as positive as I was a few months ago. But I am trying,' she says.

Jade, 27, and Jack Tweed, 21, tied the knot in an emotional ceremony on Sunday.
