star Jade Goody died at the age of 27.
Six months later, the cancer has metastasized, and on 22 March 2009, the mum-of-two passed away – exactly one month after she tied the knot with Jack Tweed. Then Health Secretary Andy Burnham said: ‘Jade’s bravery and openness in her fight against cervical cancer has brought home to young women across the country the importance of regularly going for these checks.’However, ten years on, women going for their regular check-ups – women between the ages of 25 and 49 should go every three years, and women between 50 and 64 should get one every five years – has dropped to a new low.
‘More than 3,200 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year in the UK, and nearly 900 die annually and yet 1 in 4 women skip cervical screening because of embarrassment. Don’t be a statistic ladies – GO FOR YOUR SMEAR TEST.’Michelle also chose to pose on the dreaded bed as she filmed the aftermath of her smear test, which she stressed was not painful, just uncomfortable.
