UK Reality television star Jade Goody passed away in her sleep early Sunday morning. Today is Mother’s Day in the UK which makes her very public battle with cervical cancer even sadder.

Jade agreed to let her awful struggle with cancer be filmed for a reality show so her two small boys would be taken care of financially for a while.

“Jade died at 3.55 a.m. this morning,” her tearful mother Jackiey Budden told reporters outside the house. “Family and friends would like privacy at last.”

By endlessly poring over every detail of Goody’s losing battle with the disease, tabloid newspapers, broadsheets, gossip magazines and broadcasters have been accused of obsessing over someone who is famous for little more than being famous.
