I see today that Max Clifford is saying that when she says enough then no more pictures will be taken of her. I could accept her doing what she could as far as securing money for her children by selling her wedding rights but now I feel that we have seen enough. I think that she should retreat from the public eye and die with dignity and grace.
My Mum tells me that she has become quite a hero, I think that she has done a lot for cervical cancer awareness but I am not sure we need to know every step of her ordeal. Thoughts ....?
I think whether Jade gets married, christened, makes a documentary, gives interviews or not is her own choice. If it's what she wants to do then what's it to us?

I suppose some might see it as voyeurism as she deteriorates before our eyes but it's like anything else, if it upsets you or you don't approve then don't buy the magazine, don't read the interview in the paper and don't watch the documentary.
