Jade: Her Famous Quotes

Rewind back to the summer of 2002 when we, as a nation, first got to know Jade Goody. Incredible as it may now seem, she actually came fourth overall; Kate Lawler was Big Brother's winner that year. However, Jade went on to become Big Brother's biggest winner ever thanks to her loud-but-loveably dim persona.

The former dental nurse's 'Jadeisms', of which there were many, still bring a smile to the face: the suggestion that 'East Angular' (East Anglia) was abroad, that strawberries were vegetables and that Rio De Janeiro is a person. Other gems included her belief that an old-fashioned audio system was called a 'wirelophone' (gramophone/wireless), her love of "pink Champagne, Don Perrier" (Dom Perignon) and the time she thought that Inspector Morse and Sherlock Holmes were real people. We've assembled a selection of the reality star's famous one-liners.
