Jade Goody has reportedly decided to renew her deal with Living TV despite her latest health setback.

The reality TV star underwent emergency surgery earlier this week to remove a life-threatening tumour on her bowel.

Her spokesman Max Clifford later confirmed that she was keen to continue giving TV and press interviews about her cancer battle.

Goody’s health problems have been documented on her Living reality series. It has now emerged that her current contract with the broadcaster ends next month, but she is expected to sign up for more episodes.

A source told the News Of The World: “She’s lived on reality television and she may die on reality television.”

A Living insider added: “Everyone here has got very close to Jade through filming the show. We are all praying for a miracle. The greatest show we could ever film would be one about Jade’s full recovery, but we have to be realistic. There is no getting around the fact that that situation is grim.”

The 27-year-old recently announced that her cancer had spread to her liver, bowel and groin.
