Goody spends weekend in hospice

Jade Goody will spend the weekend in a hospice as she struggles to control the effects of her terminal cancer.

The newlywed 27-year-old Big Brother star suffered hallucinations from her medication on Thursday night, her spokesman Max Clifford said.

She went to St Clare Hospice, near Essex in the UK last night to allow doctors to assess her and prescribe the correct balance of drugs.

Mr Clifford said she expected to stay there for three days.

“She went in there because last night after the district nurse had been in the afternoon to administer her drugs she was hallucinating very badly because of the medication,” he said yesterday.

“She had a bad night because of it. We didn’t want the same thing to happen again.

“She has gone in there for an assessment of the drugs to hopefully get her medication under control.”

Mr Clifford said friends were with Goody at her Essex home when she phoned him in a “hysterical” state.

“It’s bad enough what she is going through without that,” he said. “She’s relieved to be at the hospice – she doesn’t want a repeat of what happened last night.”

The Sun reported that Goody had rowed with a neighbour as she left her home to travel to the hospice.

According to the newspaper, she screamed at the man: “Chill out – I’m gonna be dead in a month” during an argument over a shared gate.

Goody has been given just weeks to live after her cervical cancer spread to her liver, groin and bowel.

The mother-of-two married Jack Tweed, 21, on Sunday, and has started making arrangements for her sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, to be christened before her death.

The ceremony has been put back to the weekend of March 7 and 8 to make it easier for the boys’ friends to attend.

Goody sold the magazine and TV rights to her wedding for nearly £1m (€1.1m), and has been open about wanting to exploit media interest in her cancer battle to make as much money as possible for her sons.

The Sun yesterday quoted a Ministry of Justice source as saying that Tweed’s curfew would be suspended, as it was on his wedding night, when Goody reaches her final moments.

It is thought Tweed’s tag will be removed at that time so the couple can be together.
