Reality TV star Jade Goody has cervical cancer, it has been disclosed.
The 27-year-old was appearing on the Indian version of Big Brother when she was called to the diary room and given the news.
Miss Goody, a mother-of-two, broke down in tears and told other housemates she had a suffered some 'bad news' and that she had to leave the house.
Her spokesman said she is 'devastated' and is due to fly home today to see a specialist.
It is thought the cancer is at an early stage.
While it has an 83 per cent survival rate, it kills more than 800 women each year and is the second most common form of the disease for women under 35 after breast cancer.
The news comes after Miss Goody was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex, for tests after she collapsed on August 2.
Having taken a test she flew out to take part in the Indian version of Big Brother.
The move was part of her ongoing efforts to rehabilitate her image following the race row with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in the celebrity version of the UK show.
She went into the house on Saturday and was told the devastating news yesterday by a specialist from the UK who was patched through to the diary room to speak to her.
It is not clear how much of the incident will be shown on Indian TV when Big Brother is aired later tonight.Miss Goody's spokesman said: 'She is devastated. It is a terrible thing to be told you have cancer.
'She broke down while she was on air and told some of the other housemates she had some bad news and had to go home.
'When I spoke to her she was very upset, frightened and I tried to reassure her as best I could.
'It looks like her cancer is at an early stage but we will have to wait until she gets back to Britain and sees a specialist and has more tests.' source
