The Jade Goody Effect

The life of media personality and reality TV star Jade Goody, who passed away after a long battle with cervicalJade Goody not long before she discovered she had cervical cancer cancer, may now be played out as a musical.

According to the star's friend and former business partner Danny Hayward, her life story is the basis of a new musical and auditions will be held to find someone who can successfully convey the bubbly blondes larger than life persona.

'Jade was just an ordinary girl and the person who plays her will reflect that,' he tells Radio 1 newsbeat. 'The most important thing is to give someone a break, just like she got.' Dates for auditions will be announced in three weeks' time.

Danny Hayward, who was also best man at Jade Goody's wedding to Jack Tweed, also told Radio 1 that he's currently in the process of 'putting together scripts' as well as a 'creative team' to plan the musical.

'Jade was just an ordinary girl and the person who plays her will reflect that,' he added.

'Her dream as a little girl was to be in a musical, so obviously when she passed away it felt fitting to do something like this.'

Sadly, the reality star had no idea about the project as it was devised since her death. In response to those who have accused Danny Hayward of exploiting her death he told the BBC, 'She was tabloid gold. The people have the right to choose their hero.

'If the show continues to raise awareness about cervical cancer, be a good night out and further her legacy, then it's not really hurting anyone.'
