We are celebrating with a look back at all these times Jade has taken part in the Cancer Connections Boxing Day dip at South Shields.
She has dressed as Santa, a Christmas tree, a penguin and an elf to help raise money for a fantastic cause.
So as Jade celebrates her big day, let’s say Happy Birthday with these Shields Gazette archive photos.
