How did jade goody get famous?

Jade Goody rose to fame in the United Kingdom after appearing on the third season of the reality TV show Big Brother in 2002. She and fellow housemate, PJ Ellis, were often referred to as the "dumb blondes" for their perceived lower intelligence and outspoken personalities. Goody created controversy during her stay in the Big Brother house due to her excessive drinking, smoking and language. While she was criticized by some for her behaviors, she was still liked by a large portion of the public and managed to make it to the final two, finishing as runner-up to Kate Lawler.

After her appearance on Big Brother, she quickly became a household name and was offered lucrative deals for personal appearances, magazine photoshoots, and her own spin-off reality TV show. Goody's popularity allowed her to capitalize on her notoriety and made her a millionaire within a few years.
