New Delhi: British reality TV celebrity Jade Goody underwent an eight hour long cancer surgery in London on Friday.
Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer while she was shooting for reality TV show Bigg Boss 2 in India.
She had to quit the show just weeks after joining it in order to go back home and start therapy.
Goody is currently in the intensive care unit of London's Royal Marsden Hospital and will begin chemotherapy soon.
The mother-of-two had returned home for more tests and treatment after speaking to her doctor.
In an interview before the diagnosis, Goody had told a magazine that she was going to India because she needed to support her family with earnings from Bigg Boss, the Indian version of the British reality show Big Brother.
“I have to keep working to support my family. It's not an option to stop,” she had told Reveal magazine.
“It's always difficult working away from home but I can't wait around for the doctors to find out what's wrong with me. I need to keep working.”
“I know it sounds crazy and a lot of people will criticise me for it, but I have to pay the bills at the end of the day. And if I do face cancer, I need to make sure I can support the boys,” she added.
"I will worry for my beautiful boys if I get unwell. I live for them."
Goody's contract with Bigg Boss was reportedly worth 100,000 pounds.
Her publicist Max Clifford had confirmed the cancer diagnosis saying, “Jade had some tests recently, then she went off to India to appear in the Indian Big Brother.”
