Jade Goody, the reality TV star who died last month of cervical cancer aged 27, represented “all that is paltry and wretched about Britain”, Sir Michael Parkinson has said.

He told Radio Times: "Jade Goody has her own place in the history of television and, while it’s significant, it’s nothing to be proud of. Her death is as sad as the death of any young person, but it’s not the passing of a martyr or a saint or, God help us, Princess Di.

“When we clear the media smoke screen from around her death, what we’re left with is a woman who came to represent all that’s paltry and wretched about Britain today.

“She was brought up on a sink estate, as a child came to know drugs and crime, was barely educated, ignorant and puerile. Then she was projected to celebrity by Big Brother and became a media chattel to be exploited till the day she died.”


think that deserves some biscuits!

because im sure that jade was given every opportunity he had :rolleyes: im sorry butr for someone to say she grew up on a 'sink estate' and 'barely educated' is beyond the matter. he grew up going to a grammar school, id have liked to see how he ended up not going to a good school and being surrounded by a dingy estate.

ok, she was named a 'racist' but to be fair, its not like anyone else hasnt been racist, im sure you have been with your mates when no ones around.

Fair enough, she shouldnt have had that big of a funeral but she ovbiously had fans otherwise she wouldnt have been that big.

He is correct, well done!

Maybe when Michael Parkinson dies I will call him a boring, over rated talk show host, which he was.
