Jade Goody's friends are planning to stage a musical based on her life

Big Brother star Jade Goody had no talent, according to her pal Max Clifford.

The PR guru represented her before she died from cervical cancer in March at the age of 27.

‘Jade would be the first to tell you she had no talent,’ Max, 66, told students at the London College Of Communication. ‘She was just herself.’

Max also defended himself against claims he cashed in on Jade’s passing.

‘I did not profit from Jade's death,’ he added. ‘I did pay her medical bills when the NHS let her down... I paid for her to see my doctor.

‘I did make a lot of money for her children, from which I did not take a penny. Do I feel guilty about that? Not at all, I'm very proud actually.’
