The media reflected yesterday on the life of Jade Goody, Britain's first reality TV star to live and die in the spotlight.
"Mummy's in Heaven" splashed the Daily Mirror with a photograph of the 27-year-old who died of cancer with her two sons. "At Peace on Mother's Day," saidthe Sun.
Phil Edgar-Jones, the television executive who selected Goody to appear on Big Brother in 2002, said her difficult background - her parents were drug addicts and her father spent time in jail - and her lack of education made her a star many people could relate to.
A Guardian commentator wrote: "Because they are so rarely seen in public life it is easy to forget that the people in this country for whom Jade was a peer, not an affront, are in the vast majority."
Most newspapers decried Goody for being fat, ugly and stupid when she first hit the small screen.
