Jade Goody's mum does coke
Jackiey Budden vowed she'd never go back on drugs... now we reveal the shameful truth
JADE Goody's shameless mum Jackiey Budden went on a 16-hour drugs and booze binge just three days before the anniversary of her tragic daughter's death.
MORE VIDEO: JACKIEY TALKS BENEFITS
Instead of preparing for today's graveside memorial service, Jackiey, 52, downed 14 large gin and tonics, TWO BOTTLES of wine and TWO GRAMS of cocaine on the sunshine isle of Tenerife.
Jackiey, who claims £91.70 a week in state benefits, had £2,000 cash wired to her Canaries bolthole to pay for the bender and a flight home to Britain. Now government investigators will want to know exactly how she finances her free-spending lifestyle.
Our shock video footage was shot in Jackiey's holiday apartment at 5.30am on Friday. It shows her with three lines of cocaine set up on a bedside table.
Jackiey then leans down and snorts a line, splutters and demands: "Where's the card?" so she can cut even more lines.
An inside source revealed: "Jackiey really wanted to go for a big blowout on Thursday. She started knocking back drinks at lunchtime and despite being all over the place, slurring her words and high as a kite, she went right through the night."
As well as damning pictures of her cocaine spree, we today reveal how jobless Jackiey:
- BOASTED of keeping a bank account hidden away from benefits chiefs.
- RAKED in a fortune from TV and magazine interviews.
- SPLASHED up to £75,000 on her party lifestyle since daughter Jade died a year ago.
- ADMITTED she would still be a DRUG DEALER if Big Brother legend Jade had not become rich and famous.
Our revelations will shock family and friends as they join Jackiey today at the cemetery in Upshire to unveil Jade's headstone.
Jackiey and toyboy lover Aaron Woolhouse, 31, were staying at an upmarket apartment complex in Los Cristianos with a friend, when she went on her bender. Our source revealed: "After the lunchtime drinking Jackiey wanted to go down to the main strip and carry on partying."
She then asked a pal to drop her off two grams of cocaine for 90 euros (£81) at a karaoke bar just after midnight. She paid for the drugs herself in cash and sneaked back to the apartment with it.
Our source said: "When she got back to the pub she had glazed eyes and was talking a lot. She was high and she became a bit of a handful."
Jackiey then headed to neighbouring resort Playa de las Americas and partied at The Met bar before heading off to nightclub Tramps. When she returned to her flat at 5.30am with two friends and a random Jade fan, picked up along the way, Jackiey was determined to carry on her partying by taking drugs.
It was then she was caught on camera snorting the cocaine.
Our source said: "The fact she did it in front of someone she'd just met in a bar, someone who said they loved Jade, simply shows that she doesn't care at all and was way out of it."
In another clip handed to us, Jackiey - who claims £64.30 a week income support plus £27.40 a week disability allowance - confessed she has a Barclays bank account kept away from the eyes of the authorities.
"They don't go through my bank," she says. "They don't even know I've got a bank account. They don't know nothing about accounts." She then reveals that the Department of Work and Pensions is already querying her affairs, prompted by News of the World revelations that Jade had left her £10,000 in her will when she died from cervical cancer on March 22 last year.
Jackiey says she had an appointment to meet officials on March 11 but told them she was too busy preparing for Jade's memorial and they rearranged it for the end of the month. "Didn't tell them I was flying over here!" she brags.
Jackiey has made thousands from media deals since Jade's death, including a recent £3,000 interview with a magazine. That's matched by her lavish lifestyle costing up to £75,000 in the last year, including trips to the Canaries and a £2,500 Christmas holiday in Egypt. Plus she bought a one-year-old Mercedes CLK 280 convertible for £25,000.
And she happily admits having £2,000 sent to her last week. "Yeah, I had the money wired," she says.
Asked what she'd be doing if daughter Jade hadn't hit the big time, Jackiey laughs and says: "What I was doing before, selling drugs!" Talk then turns to an upcoming review of her case by the Department of Work and Pensions.
Asked how she hadn't been tripped up by her media earnings, Jackiey thanks the 16-hour rule. It means she gets Income Support as long as she works fewer than 16 hours a week, earns less than about £15,000 a year and has under £16,000 savings.
Cross the line and she is open to accusations of fraud - or "forge" as she calls it! But Jackiey insists her media interviews only lasted about an hour.
"I've got no savings as far as they know, so it doesn't matter," she says. "And I don't do 16 hours. But what they're worried about is savings. If Jade's left me wonga in the will then that's savings. I'll sort that when I get back."
Regardless of income or savings, Jackiey CAN claim Disability Benefit because of her damaged arm.
But benefits investigators will now want to know exactly WHAT she's earned, WHERE it went and HOW MUCH is left.
Jackiey should know the ropes. In 2007 she was caught claiming housing benefit for her London council flat, despite a string of paid TV jobs including £25k from Big Brother.
After paying an undisclosed amount to the State she was allowed to keep her flat - where she still lives - and escaped prosecution.

That's disrespectful towards her own daughter.
By Tony.. Posted March 27 2010 at 11:52 AM.
There seems to be a tattoo missing on the video. Should I have gone to Specsavers?
By David Blanket.. Posted March 27 2010 at 7:50 AM.
Well....What do you expect when a mother has lost one of her kids.....yes she is a bit on the wild side but she always has been...doesnt anyone know this but me....its very sad that she has gone back to her old ways and that Jade isnt around to help her anymore...didnt know

Keep your chin up Jack!!!

There is not excuse for taking Cocaine, but she clearly needs help. I think she is masking her grief with drugs and that doesn't get you anywhere only causes more problems.
By Zoey .. Posted March 22 2010 at 8:17 PM.
Leave Her alone!
By Louise.. Posted March 22 2010 at 4:25 PM.
Strange! What happened to the massive tattoo on her left arm? Did it disappear when she snorted the dreaded cocaine? Miracle indeed! Was this, or wasn't this the woman named in this report having a quick snifter?
By Shuiiz.. Posted March 22 2010 at 2:46 PM.
give the woman sum credit she still gettin over the fact that jades gone she is a great nanny to freddie and bobby sick yas all are it doent even look like jackie any ways dnt belive all you sick people
By ash.. Posted March 22 2010 at 3:03 PM.
I think people should not judge Jades Mum, the poor sod has lost her only child.. the grief must be unimaginable. If i lost my Daughter, god knows how i would cope. Im not saying using drugs is o.k.. im saying you loose your way and cope as best you can. Some people would drink the pain away, some get off there nut, some need councelling, some want to die... its the worse thing a parent has to go through. Annoys me that people think they have the right to slate others when there proberly sniffing it up every weekend behind closed doors.
By C.J.P.. Posted March 22 2010 at 10:49 AM.
yes, it's tragic that she lost her daughter, but she is a disgrace, she is now living of her dead daughters name.
By jockster.. Posted March 22 2010 at 9:07 AM.

Leave the poor women alone!

This woman needs help, not condemnation.
By Kelmia.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:31 PM.
Judge and you shall be JUDGED. Leave this poor women alone, I really can not understand some of the comments on here.
By maria.. Posted March 21 2010 at 7:49 PM.
untill you have been there leave her alone she comes from a good family jackie sort your self out have your blow out and come back fighting girl your a true bermondsey girl come on girl pick your self up and bust your self off god bless you

Dont judge, to you lose someone or go through your worse nightmare while you are awake is the worse. i'm still living and enjoying life i no many that are not, been there and done it so many times
By annoy.. Posted March 21 2010 at 6:52 PM.
ive lost someone real close to me before. When your child dies or any one real close. Such pain, been there done the bad things. Pain will never go, time is a healer. Thanks jade for making us more aware. God bless never forgotten.
By helena.. Posted March 21 2010 at 6:15 PM.
Who cares, leave her alone to get on with her life and do whatever makes makes her happy. Who are we to judge.

What an irritating woman.
By ninna.. Posted March 21 2010 at 2:46 PM.
The video is a bit grainy to be honest and on the photo above she has a tattoo on her arm which isn't visible in the video??? So is it even her?
Also, if my daughter had died I think I would a). want to get away from the media spotlight by going abroad and b). get extremely drunk to try and forget the pain I'd be going through.
By anonymous.. Posted March 21 2010 at 2:20 PM.
Good that Jade did not leave any cash to her mother !
By yticilef.. Posted March 21 2010 at 2:08 PM.
Jade was only a cash cow to Jackiey. She's not missing Jade - She's missing her money.
By Trisha.. Posted March 21 2010 at 2:07 PM.
It has been just over a year that this women lost her daughter to cancer , She nursed her and was there to suport her right through untill the end .
I am not saying her drug taking is right but No one can ever judge someone that has been through this trauma as everyone behaves differentally and nobody has the right to say what is right or wrong unless it harms or affects them directly.
I think give her some space and maybe over time lets hope she can get her life back on track .
In the mean time we can just hope and pray that she has the love and support of good family and friends and that they can steer her away from the people that want to use her . xx

I can't believe there are people here giving this cretin their support. Yes her daughter died, but that doesn't mean she has to go and kill herself with drugs does it?
Loved ones die everyday & you don't see everyone turning to cocaine do you?
Pathetic woman.
By Andy Jones.. Posted March 21 2010 at 2:01 PM.
I think she does need help but, its not fair for her grandsons to see her stoned out of her skull so, i do think keeping them away from her is in THEIR best intrest. Hopefully, Jackiey gets help with her drug addiction and councelling for her depression/grief of losing her only child. Rip Jade Goody xxx
By amelia .. Posted March 21 2010 at 1:36 PM.
if thats her then where are the tattoos on her arm
By mariavs.. Posted March 21 2010 at 1:28 PM.
her daughters dead for god sake!! and as if stopping her seeing her grandkids is gunna make her better. she needs help not a public slating!
By liggy.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:16 PM.
The tattoo isn't there because the photo is reversed - that's her good arm. DOH!
By CAZ.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:13 PM.
I'm not condoning drink, drugs or benefit thieves, but many people go off the rails in some way after a bereavement, especially after the death of a child of theirs and especially around the time of the anniversary when terrible memories often intensify a thousand per cent. I know.
If this IS Jade Goody's mother, I hope the threat of never seeing her grandsons again whips her into shape so the can healthily participate in their lives as Jade wanted her to. Jeff Brazier is a great father and will know exactly what to do.
By Judy R.. Posted March 21 2010 at 11:59 AM.
In the video you can´t see the persons face. The next photo shows Jacky with a large overarm tattoo. In the video its not there.
By Footlappen.. Posted March 21 2010 at 11:55 AM.
This is disgusting i hope Jeff puts a ban on her seeing her grandsons until she is clean again. I think the DHSS should look into her savings and spending habits as if shes only entitled to £91.70 a week then that is all she should be getting (like others on income support) She should not be leading a celebrity life syle and, for the sake of those boys she should get clean....r.i.p. Jade xx
By angie.. Posted March 21 2010 at 11:37 AM.
Shameless!!
By David Rodgers.. Posted March 21 2010 at 11:21 AM.
She is a disgrace claiming all the benefits that are going, my husband was out of work for the best part of a year and didn't claim any benefits at all out of shear dignity,we used savings to pay all our bills and thankfully he is employed again after months of looking for a job and we can start saving again for the finer things in life.
By trisha.. Posted March 21 2010 at 11:15 AM.
How can she drive a mercedes with the use of one arm ?
By trisha.. Posted March 21 2010 at 11:03 AM.
i wouldnt blame jeff if he stops u from seeing the boys,u need 2 get a grip woman i know this must b a hard time 4 u but the boys r all u have left of jade sort urself out,R.I.P jade the ones we love dont walk away they walk beside us everyday.
By irene.. Posted March 21 2010 at 10:59 AM.
To those that are saying she doesnt have a tattoo on her left arm in the video. She lost part of her left arm in that accident yet in the photo she has a complete left arm. I dont know much about the technology surrounding taking photos but sometimes they turn out reversed which is obviously the case here. Thats why no tattos are showing in the video of her left arm
By SHARON.. Posted March 21 2010 at 10:54 AM.
she's not hurt anyone, she's just had a blow out and to be honest, i can understand why she'd be craving a high when she's lost her daughter
By dave.. Posted March 21 2010 at 10:28 AM.
who cares shes had her 5 mins of fame via her daughter, stop reporting on her, leave her to go back to the life she had before.
By forestview.. Posted March 21 2010 at 10:26 AM.
SURELY SHE MUST OF KNOWN SHE WAS BEING RECORDED.
By Katryn.. Posted March 21 2010 at 10:14 AM.
Well if her daughter hadn't died and made people interested in her, then this old soak wouldn't be making any money, when Goody was alive, she wasn't in demand, strange how death can change people's opinions.
By Marie.. Posted March 21 2010 at 10:10 AM.
The woman is a low life and should never be allowed near her grand children unsupervised, and should be prosecuted if the allegations made in this article are proven

DISGUSTING
By sarah Gregory.. Posted March 21 2010 at 9:33 AM.
How disgusting.... Jackiey should respect Jade's wishes stay off the drugs and be a good example to her grandchildren... and respect the first anniversary of her daughters death.!!! I'm glad Jeff looks after those lovely boys. They should stop Jackieys income support if she can have that many holidays per year and drive a 25k car...Most people in this country can't afford one holiday per year. R.I.P Jade xxxx
By claire.. Posted March 21 2010 at 9:11 AM.
leave her alone what a load of crap she is getting £91 per week of the state there are plenty of parents lost there children and don,t turn to drugs she paid £81 pounds for drugs she does,nt need state money at all .her own child could not stand her doing drugs her daughter was a strong girl who has helped young girls by getting smear test younger why can,t the mother be strong for her daughter and say no to drugs .yes she has an illness but she will not sort it out she likes the life style
By liz stevenson.. Posted March 21 2010 at 9:08 AM.
Alcohol is so last century.
By bob whitehouse.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:58 AM.
For those of you who think her claiming benefits allows her to go on a cheap holiday make me laugh.
I have always worked and i couldn't afford to take a cheap holiday. But maybe that's because i have to pay full whack on my council tax, mortgage and every other bill.
I am getting sick and tired of seeing benefit fraudsters living the life of riley whilst the honest hardworking citizen foots their bill.
And i bet every single one of the people who disagrees with me is on benefits
By Helen.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:56 AM.
I am a grandmother with two children and I think this woman is shameful with no respect for anyone. At least Jade tried to do some good even though she did have some faults she had a heart.
By cmills.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:48 AM.
Wow she is disgusting and I feel bad for Jade's boys having a Grandma like that. At least they have their Dad who is doing a great job.
By Michelle Jones.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:48 AM.
Is that really her? In there other photo there is a large tattoo on her left arm, but in the video there isn't one!!??? If it is her, I hope she gets the help she needs, no matter what people think of her, she was obviously devastated by Jade's death.
By GMC.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:41 AM.
Leave her alone today, her only daughter is dead.
By Jackie.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:34 AM.
Leave her alone no one can judge she's been through a lot . Surely there is better news out there anyway .
God bless Jade and her family . I'm not a Fan of Jade but she brought more awareness about this cancer y would notw want to tarnish her anniversary by publishing this story and humiliate her mother . She obviously needs help so help her the right way . Aren't we all human and make mistakes . We need better news
By Rach.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:31 AM.
To Richard who was wondering who Jade Goody was......Jade Goody was responsible for thousands of women getting smear tests which resulted in saving a lot of lives, mine included.
By Lorna.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:20 AM.
give jackie a break and stop judging,i dont agree with hows shes handling her grief but who am i to judge,shes lost her child for gods sake and i cant imagine anything worse.we do what we can when we can and maybe this is all jackie can do for now.
By donna.p... Posted March 21 2010 at 8:16 AM.
The woman has addiction problems and is obviously ill. She has had a hell of a life. She has marked the death of her daughter by getting off her face which is what millions of people do when grieving.
As for Disability Living Allowance, even millionaires are entitled to it, just as they are entitled to child benefit. Dont blame her for that. You can get a cheapy holiday to Tenerife for £200 which is a lot cheaper than Margate or any other dump in Britain
Leave the woman alone! She doesnt know any different. Her life is far from happy!
By J Cartier.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:10 AM.
Thank goodness Jades boys have their Dad to rely on cos they obviously cant rely on their gran!
Jades mum was doing drugs when jade was just little so whys everyone trying to say its jades death thats prompted her to take drugs???
By celia.. Posted March 21 2010 at 8:04 AM.
leave her alone??,it's my tax money that is being wasted up her nose,give it to me I will make better use of it.

By richard .. Posted March 21 2010 at 7:19 AM.
its so sad to see jade's mum like this , she dont know how to look after herself like she said jade was her mum x i just hope she can sort herself out for jade's boys because they need her
By cheri .. Posted March 21 2010 at 7:11 AM.
Jeez .....Jade Goody's mother!!! hardly up there with the watergate scandal is it?
By volokos.. Posted March 21 2010 at 6:57 AM.
I agree with the comments of leave her alone on this occasion. She has just lost a child aged 27. Thats hard-what could be harder.
Not much and am condoning drugs.
By millie.. Posted March 21 2010 at 6:54 AM.
It is a very sad sight to see .
By Susan .. Posted March 21 2010 at 3:48 AM.
No wonder England is broke, both financially and morally. It,s soft laws reward both criminals and low life benefits people. I,m glad I left there and now live in the US. It,s not perfect here either but at least we put people in jail here.
By Farmer.. Posted March 21 2010 at 3:44 AM.
for god sake let this mixed up heartbroken mother alone at least she loved jade for jade and jade loved her goo bad r otherwise.we all have issues within our families at least we can deal with them in private., how lucky we are,
please kook after yourself jackie
lol karen fehily republic of ireland
By karen.. Posted March 21 2010 at 2:22 AM.
I don't agree with Jackiey's actions but think she should be ignored and left alone. One its hard to judge someone's actions after losing a child, if the only way she knows how to cope is to get wasted then that's what she's going to do. Two she's boring and should no longer be newsworthy.
By jo.. Posted March 21 2010 at 1:14 AM.
I agree Karen, she is a total disgrace.
What with Jackiey and Jack Tweed - what a good job there is Jeff!!! I know he is not perfect but he is sensible and able to guide his and Jade's children (hopefully) through a drugless existence until they are answerable to themselves.
Jeff needs all the support he can get.
By wildshoes.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:46 AM.
l dont mean to be awfull but dont u think shes milking it a bit jades death and her mouth is terrible swearing every 5 seconds
By maria johns.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:42 AM.
If she's earning so much money from interviews etc why does she bother claiming benefits? I think she just likes being on the wrong side of the law, it's hard to escape that victim mentality.
By Katy R.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:34 AM.
reason why i have always respected jade and think jade is a great role model is because instead of becoming a product of her eviroment like a lot of people from poorer backgrounds do she decided to make somthing of herself.
By beth.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:36 AM.
jade and this state are two different issues, please leave them as they should be. Totally seperate. Jade has saved ALOT of lives, so please don't tar her memory with stories like these.
By BK.. Posted March 21 2010 at 12:24 AM.
Hope Jeff never lets the 2 boys ever see her again, she is a disgrace and Jade was too good to be her daughter!
