Goody was one of "Big Brother"'s most loved contestants. One of her most iconic moments was when she revealed she thought the city of Cambridge was in London and went on to say she believed East Anglia was a foreign country, referring to it as "East Angula". She placed fourth in the series but returned to the house in 2007 as part of "Celebrity Big Brother" series five. Public opinion of Goody changed during this season as she was accused of racially bullying Indian actress Shilpa Shetty. In a bid to apologise, she appeared on the Indian "Big Brother" in August 2008 but left the show early after being told while in the house that she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
She had two sons with Essex TV presenter Jeff Brazier before separating. Her eldest, Bobby Brazier, 19, has just been cast on the TV soap "EastEnders". In February 2009, it was revealed that Goody was terminally ill. She married her fellow "Celebrity Big Brother" housemate Jack Tweed in the same month. Goody passed away on the 22 March 2009, age just 27. There was an increase in people getting cervical-cancer screenings following her death.
