Shilpa Shetty's sadness at Jade's cancer news
Tuesday, 19 August 2008
Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty has indicated her sadness at the news Jade Goody has cervical cancer.
27 year-old Jade was told she was suffering the illness whilst she was appearing in the Indian celebrity version of the reality TV show.
The mother-of-two received a call from her UK doctor in the Diary Room to tell her the devastating news.
She has since left the house to return to the UK for treatment, but Shilpa Shetty, who hosts the show, has expressed her sadness in a text message to the Associated Press.
The text read: "I was really sad when I heard the news.
"It's a tough time for her and I hope she is able to cope with this pain."
Unlikely bond
Jade formed an unlikely bond with actress Shetty following their infamous appearance on UK Celebrity BB last year in which the pair were at war.
In that show, Jade was accused of racist bullying, something which Shilpa denied.
It was thought Jade had wanted to appear on BB India to show them the real Jade Goody, and to prove she's not a racist.
Her spokesman said today: "She went for tests and results have come back and she has cancer.
"She was phoned up and informed. It is pretty obvious that she was looking forward to her time in the house but her health is the first priority.
"This is a massive blow for her."
