Jade Goody has admitted that she feels disappointed after being snubbed by celebrities since being diagnosed with cancer.

The reality TV star told The Mirror that the only offer of support has come from Elton John, who has invited her to stay at his French villa while she recuperates.

"I've not really heard from any other celebrities though," she continued. "But then I never had many celebrity friends. I loved Jonathan Ross and going on his show and it would have been nice to have a card from him or a call or something.

"And Jimmy Carr I loved too but I never heard from him either. I loved meeting them at the time, but maybe to them I was just another contestant on their show.

"I did used to be friends with the Prince of Brunei and we hung out together a bit. He rang me when I was first diagnosed but since then he hasn't been to see me or sent a card so maybe we weren't friends after all."

Goody recently confirmed that she has a 40% chance of beating the illness.
