'I spend 17 hours a day keeping Jade Goody's memory alive'
WHEN former Big Brother star and mum-of-two Jade Goody tragically died aged just 27 on Mother’s Day ten years ago, her family and friends were left heartbroken.
The medical secretary also has the same three love hearts tattooed on her wrist Jade had - and she sends Jade’s mum Jackiey -- a card every year to let her know she’s thinking of her at such a difficult time. Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Kerry says: “From the first minute she walked into the Big Brother house, I loved her. I had a huge phone bill as I voted for her all the time.
“When she was poorly, I saw her tattoo in a magazine and realised I liked it so just before Mother’s Day, just before she passed away, I got the same design on my wrist too.”Jade famously saved £1m from TV and picture rights to her wedding before her death, desperate to provide for her boys when she was no longer around.
Thankfully, Kerry’s family - husband of 24 years Stephen and their two children, Ben, 16, and Kirsten, 13, are supportive of the time she commits to keeping Jade’s memory alive.
