Jade Goody had begged her mother Jackiey Budden to smother her with a pillow to put her out of excruciating pain.

Jackiey revealed that the late 27-year-old made the heart-wrenching plea just days before she lost her battle to cervical cancer on Mother’s Day.

“She wanted me to put a pillow over her head,” the ‘Daily Star’ quoted Jackiey as telling ‘OK!’ magazine.

“I really didn’t want to see her go that way. I thought: ‘I don’t want to have to suffocate her without anyone knowing.’

“If she was on a machine,we’d have to turn it off,but when you’ve got cancer you don’t have a machine,” she added.

The grieving mum further revealed that she had been reading her own Mother’s Day card from Jade at the same time when her cancer-strciken girl left her forever.

She added: “I sat by her bed and I saw this envelope with ‘Mum’ written on it. I got it down and I ripped it open,thinking the card was from the boys to their mum and I could read it to her.

“And by the time I’d finished reading it,she had died. Then I realised it was to me from Jade. Jack had put a pen in her hand so he could help her write it. On her last breath,as I was reading it,she flickered. She had heard me reading it.”
