She said she had drawn huge comfort over the years from the many happy memories of Jade such as their caravan holidays in Canvey Island, Essex, when Jade was ­growing up.

She says: “Jade loved to do ­karaoke. One night there was a karaoke competition in the club house and she won it. She won £500.

“The next day we were in the ­caravan and we heard a knock on the door.

“It was the security man saying she had to give the money back.

“You had to be 18 to enter but Jade was only 14. We didn’t know. Jade was mortified. It was hilarious.”

Jackiey told how when Jade was five, her carefree hobbies of tap- dancing, gymnastics and martial arts came to an abrupt end when Jackiey lost the use of her left arm in a devastating motorbike smash.

* Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain premieres tonight at 9pm on Channel 4
