Mumbai:
Jade Goody is at it again. Her fresh bout of allegations about her quick exit from Bigg Boss 2, after being told that she had cancer, has spelt trouble for the producers, Endemol, as well as the channel, Colors.
On the eve of her beginning treatment, she has claimed in interviews to UK tabloids and television channels that her doctors had misdiagnosed her ailment and allowed her to participate in Bigg Boss 2. Also, that she was unaware that her conversations about her ailment were being recorded for telecast.
Not cramps
The British TV celeb has been quoted as saying that her sickness was diagnosed as menstrual cramps. "I made a conscious effort to tell them that I was going away for a long time and doctors would not be able to get in touch with me, and asked them would that be okay? They said I was fine."
Moreover, later when she was told that it was cancer, she claims she was not told that it would be on Indian television! "I did not know it was being filmed. The producers wanted me to go out and tell everybody. I was like, 'I can't do that, I need my family and friends to know before I just randomly say it on television'," Goody states.
Tale of torment
All these allegations have put a question mark about the way the Goody episode was handled. Despite being paid a whopper to be on the show, she has now emerged to be a tormentor, after her exit, for both producer and channel.
Says a source, "Like all other inmates of Bigg Boss, Goody also had a check-up done and was asked about her medical history. She did not reveal anything about the tests she had conducted in the UK. The medical checks done on the inmates were routine - a blood test, blood pressure, etc, which wouldn't detect cancer."
Goody has been a participant in reality shows before, she knows that whatever is spoken is up for broadcast. Adds the source, "How can Goody be unaware that her cancer ailment talk would not be aired?"
How TV made Goody
Jade Goody, 27, became a household name when she appeared on UK's Channel 4 show, Big Brother in 2002. Extensive coverage about her ignorance - she thought the English city of Cambridge was in London. On being told that it is in East Anglia, she assumed that this was abroad. As well as about her shocking statements - on the eve of taking part in the London Marathon in 2006, she declared that she was preparing by "eating curry, Chinese and drinkinging' made her stay in the news. By 2006, she had also penned her autobiography, authored a dummies' guide to cooking and even launched a perfume called Shh Jade Goody. In Jan 2007, she was one of the housemates in Celebrity Big Brother along with Shilpa Shetty. Sje was at the centre of allegations of racist bullying against Shetty.
