Who will play Goody?

Proving that not even death can keep her out of the spotlight for long, celebrity betting specialists Paddy Power are offering odds on who will play the title role of Jade Goody in the much talked about musical honouring the life of the tragic 27-year-old reality TV star.

Emmy Award-nominated Scottish actress Ashley Jensen is the bookies 3/1 favourite to land the role.  Other in the frame include Eastenders actress Michelle Ryan at 4/1 and Dr Who’s former assistant Billie Piper at odds of 6/1. Less likely candidates according to Paddy Power include Dame Helen Mirren and Jade’s old Big Brother sparing partner Shilpa Shetty both at 100/1

Paddy Power said “The tragic story of Jade Goody touched the hearts of millions and what more fitting tribute to her colourful but sadly brief life than a musical?”
