Goody grandad: 'I'd take Jade's pain'

Jade Goody's grandfather has said that he would have taken her pain for her if it were possible.

John Craddock told The Mirror that he has not been able to sleep since Goody passed away.

The 70-year-old said: "I just sit here and think about Jade. I will grieve for her forever. I can't express what the loss of that girl is going to do - and not just for me.

"If I could've swapped places with her, I would. If I could've taken all the pain away from her and have it for me instead, I would."

He added that he was "so proud of her", not for her achievements or money but "just for being her - for being Jade".

Goody will be buried on April 4 after a procession through London in a ceremony Max Clifford said would be "very much a Jade Goody Production".
