Jade Goody's mum, 10 years on from Jade's death

A decade after she lost her battle with cancer, Jade Goody’s mum Jackiey Budden joins us to reveal why she now finds it too painful to visit her daughter’s grave and how she’s working hard to make sure Jade’s death wasn’t in vain.

On Jade’s legacy with 400,000 women getting their smear test done the year after she passed, Jackiey says, “That was just amazing… although Jade’s legacy [with the fall in numbers of women attending their smear tests] it's like a kick in the teeth really because it’s gone down. It’s really dropped… a lot of people are not doing it like they did a couple of years ago. [People think] it’s embarrassing or they’re scared. It takes five minutes and I’ve never ever missed one.”

She adds, “We really need to get the figure back up.”

When asked about Jade’s boys Fred and Bobby. Jackiey smiles, “The boys are grand, I see them. They are doing really well... Jeff is grand, he’s a good dad.”

Revealing how Jade’s fans still look out for her, Jackiey says, “I get about 16 Mother’s Day cards and gifts each year, and every year the Bolton family do me a calendar of photos - so thank you, they really do look after me.”
