I was tricked to announce cancer on TV: Jade Goody

Celebrity Big Brother star Jade Goody, diagnosed with cervical cancer while appearing on the Indian version of the reality show, has claimed she was not aware of the filming of her telephonic talk with her agent about the deadly disease.

"I didn't know it was being filmed... and that conversation I was having was actually to my agent, it wasn't to my doctor," she spoke live on television for the first time since being diagnosed with cervical cancer last month.

"(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.'

"And it was really horrible, it was really, really hard because I had no one, at that time when you found out all you want is a cuddle or something, and I had nothing," the 27-year-old star, who now faces a hysterectomy because of the disease, was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.

Jade, who was at the centre of allegations of racist bullying against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty during the British reality show, also said her doctors initially gave her all clear, and sent her away with just pain killers.
