Jade Goody Jade Goody's mum, Jackiey Budden, may not always have been mum of the year.

But since her daughter's cancer diagnosis she's promised that she won't let her daughter down again.

And we reckon she'll need her support...

Jade's still recovering from major surgery in the fight against her cervical cancer.

In an interview with Closer magazine, Jackiey admitted: "I haven't been perfect, and poor Jade had to grow up much too fast. But I'm here for her now, and it's time for me to act like a mother.

"I just don't want to believe it. I'm shell-shocked."

Her mum's words came after it was revealed that the cancer had spread further than initially thought.

Doctors have told her that they've caught it "just in the nick of time".

Jackiey spoke about first hearing Jade had cancer: "Jade rang me from hJackiey Buddener hotel in India, screaming and crying her eyes out, saying: 'I've got cancer. I'm going to die, I'm going to die.' I was so shocked and didn't know what to say.

"She ended up hanging up on me  - she didn't think I was being supportive enough, but I was just shocked.

"She texted later and said sorry. I think she just wanted to take it out on me. I am taking it seriously, but I don't want to look too far into the future.

"I've got to be strong for Jade. Even though I'm frightened."

Jackiey has now moved into Jade's house to help look after her sons, Bobby Jack, five, and Freddie, four, and she's vowed to be Jade's "Cinderella" when she gets out of hospital.

We wish them all the best.
