JadeOCOs life changed forever on the day she entered the Big Brother house in May 2002, and things have never been the same since. TV glamour was a far cry from her life growing up in Bermondsey, where Jade had taken on the role of ?carerOCO for her disabled mum from an early age. With her father in prison, she didnOCOt have an easy childhood, and one of her first memories was waking up, aged six, and dragging her mum out of their burning house when it caught fire.

Always with her children, Bobby and Freddy, in mind, Jade went back to college in 2003, qualified as a beauty therapist, and established her own salon. There have been many trials and tribulations along the way, but thatOCOs how things often were for Jade, and she took it all in her stride. Heart-rending, hilarious and shockingly revealing. This book gives a fascinating insight into JadeOCOs extraordinary life."

didn’t finish. i liked the first bit about her childhood but when it got to the part when she did big brother, there was just too many references i didn’t know. jade wrote a lot of ‘and we all know how that turned out’ and stuff like that which i just couldn’t go along with because i never watched her on big brother. wasn’t reading and wasn’t enjoying so i put it down.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was really insightful. Jade certainly lead a very colourful life, but it made her into the woman she was and her bright personality shone throughout the book.
Highly recommended.

Loved her or hated her? (Personally i thought she was fab) This book is a very heart warming account of her life prior to BB. The fallout from it and how she became a household name.

Her mother - well if she was mine i'd disown her! But Jade stood by her no matter what, at 4 years old she was hiding her mothers dope from police!

If you hated her this book gives you a very open and honest, self critical look at the girl and allows you to understand her personality, and maybe change your views.

Hers is such a tragic story. Really lived reading all about her life and what made her who she was. Remarkable lady. RIP xxx
