So Matt, I'm in London, you're in Leeds. How things?
What strong themes are present in Jade Goody's story?
How's the weather? Oh, I think we've got a bit of a time delay. The tour show's going well?
Very foreboding. Real dark clouds starting to gather around me now.
Oh, Lord. Sorry to hear that. Well, just to warn you, it's actually quite an emotional episode today. So just checking you're OK with that.
Oh, couldn't be better.
Unusual response? Okay, good. I think maybe we're actually experiencing some technical difficulties. I think that might be what's happening.
I know. I'm trying not to cry already.
I mean, it's just the line. It's just because we're not in the studio together. I mean, you don't have to be dramatic. We'll get over it. Matt, I can't... Sorry, Matt, this is really annoying me. I'm going to go.
I think there's a bit of a delay. Oh, man. Sorry, I can't really hear you, but I miss you.
August 2008, Mumbai, India. Jade wipes her brow, takes her iPhone out of her pocket, frowns at the black screen. It's useless here in India. She turns her face to the window, watches as the crowded streets inch by.
How did Jade Goody's eviction impact her public perception?
Roasting spices, exhaust fumes, and the sweet scent of jasmine fills the air. Street vendors shouting, rickshaws and cars weaving in chaos. This was supposed to be a new beginning, a chance to make amends to the people of India and reset her career. Instead, she's on her way back home after only two days in the Indian celebrity Big Brother house. Tears prick her eyes as she imagines her mum stroking her head. She thinks of her two boys, four and five years old, and imagines the three of them snuggled up in the warmth of a duvet. She wishes she was with them now. The cab pulls up in front of an imposing hotel. Jade takes in its hand-carved sandstone arches and towering terracotta domes. But she feels leaden as she follows the producer into the grand lobby.
Once inside her room, she shuts the door. She's desperate to talk to her mum. But all of a sudden, she doesn't know what to say. Jade collapses on the bed. Her flight's not until the morning. She tries to stop her thoughts from spiralling. She reaches out for the phone with trembling hands. To her relief, Jackie picks up. Mum? Jackie's voice comes through crackly, indistinct.
Jade? Did you hear what happened? I'm in a caravan in the middle of nowhere, love.
Relief floods her for a second. She'd forgotten that her mum's on holiday, camping with a friend. But then reality crashes back. Tears fill her eyes. She feels herself start to sob as her hand grips around the phone.
Jade? Jade? What's wrong?
Jade again thinks of her boys, her mum, her family. She glances at her terrified face in the mirror. Jade knows she has to stay strong, but right now she's never been so scared and she has no idea how she's going to fight this.
Jade? Jade?
Jade closes her eyes as she takes a breath and hears herself mutter the words she'd been told in front of cameras just a few hours earlier.
Mum, I've got cancer. And I'm coming home.
