Jade Goody's mum spent the days before a memorial service for her daughter downing booze and snorting cocaine in Tenerife, the News Of The World claims.

Jackiey Budden, 52, reportedly had £2,000 wired to her on the island earlier this week to pay for the 16-hour drink and drug bender. Today, a graveside memorial service will take place in tribute to her daughter, who died last year after losing her fight with cancer.

A source told the tabloid that Budden, who claims £91.70 a week in state benefits, drank 14 large gin and tonics, two bottles of wine, and snorted two grams of cocaine during the binge.

"Jackiey really wanted to go for a big blowout on Thursday. She started knocking back drinks at lunchtime and despite being all over the place, slurring her words and high as a kite, she went right through the night," the insider claimed.

Budden also allegedly admitted that she would still be a drug dealer if her daughter had not become famous and boasted that she keeps a bank account hidden away from benefit investigators.
