London Doctors have warned cancer-stricken Jade Goody that she has only a 40 per cent chance of survival.

“I’m realistic. I know I might not have that long left,” the ‘Mirror’ quoted her, as saying.

Despite all that, the former Big Brother star has admitted that losing her hair following intensive chemotherapy was the most shocking moment yet in her fight against cervical cancer.

“You’d think I would have been prepared for it, wouldn’t you? But somehow it just made everything feel so real,” she said.

“I stood there screaming until my mum came running. When she saw the hair on the floor, she gave me a cuddle and started rubbing my head the way she did when I was a baby.

“All of a sudden handfuls more hair was peeling off in her hands. I was wailing and screaming. It was awful,” she added.
