Budden: 'Jade had public support'

Jackiey Budden has said that her daughter Jade Goody had overwhelming support from around the world in the latter stages of her life.

Publicist Max Clifford told ITV's This Morning that after some initial criticism for selling her story, the public got behind the late reality TV star when they found out she was doing so to support her children.

Budden said: "I think Jade would be very pleased with the support she has had, not just in England but all different nations.

"It's been overwhelming of how much support she has had through her wedding, christening and the funeral."

She added: "But she's my little star and she always will be and wherever she is, she is out of pain and will still know that she is looking after us."

Budden recently revealed that her daughter had asked her to kill her to end her suffering shortly before she died.
