Jade in tears as she arrives at Heathrow
 
 

Big Brother star Jade Goody broke down in tears as she arrived back in the UK after being diagnosed with cancer.

Goody, 27, learned she had cervical cancer while appearing in Bigg Boss - the Indian version of Big Brother.

The mother of two flew into London's Heathrow Airport after a seven-hour flight from Mumbai.

Looking tired and drained the visibly upset Goody told airport personnel escorting her through the terminal: "I don't want any more, I can't do this."

She broke down in tears as she was met by a number of photographers and left the airport through a private exit.

Just days before leaving for India and while awaiting test results, Goody spoke of her fears for her two children over her cancer.

The reality TV star revealed how she went into the Bigg Boss house to pay the bills - knowing she could have the disease.

Doctors advised her that getting pregnant again could kill her and urged her to have a hysterectomy.

The single mother said in an interview with Reveal magazine: "I will worry for my beautiful boys if I get unwell. I live for them. I have to keep working to support my family. It's not an option to stop."
