Goody "proud" of Government review

Jade Goody has spoken of her pride after a health minister announced that a review into the age limit for cervical cancer screening is to take place.

Ann Keen said that a panel of experts would consider whether women under 25 should be offered smear tests in the future.

Terminally ill Goody was diagnosed with the disease in August and later learned that it had spread to her bowel, liver and groin.

Spokesman Max Clifford said Goody was "immensely proud" that the current system of screening is to be probed. The 27-year-old reportedly said: "It's too late for me, but it will not be for millions of others."

Clifford told ITN that Goody's losing battle with the disease had brought unprecedented publicity to the campaign.
