Jade Goody leaves London hospital

Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August 2008

Terminally ill reality TV star Jade Goody has left hospital.

The 27-year-old Big Brother star was carried into an ambulance after leaving the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London with her husband Jack Tweed.

Earlier, her publicist Max Clifford said she was "desperate" to return to her Essex home to see her children.

Goody, diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, has been told she has just weeks to live after the disease spread to her liver, groin and bowel.

"They are going back home," said Mr Clifford.

"Obviously, they've decided she's well enough to go. One of the nurses is going with her."

"She wants to spend as much time as possible with the boys and Jack," he added. "At the moment, that's very difficult."

'Emotional service'

The reality TV star was christened in a 20-minute service at the Royal Marsden on Saturday.

Her sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, were also christened during what Mr Clifford called a "very short and emotional service".

But she was left shaken on Sunday after being confronted in hospital by a woman with a hammer.

"Jade obviously freaked out," Mr Clifford said.

He added that security had been stepped up around Goody following the incident.

A 41-year-old woman was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon but was later released.

Jade Goody married her fiance Jack Tweed last month.

A documentary, Jade: Bride-to-Be, following last-minute preparations before Goody's wedding to Tweed, airs on digital channel Living at 9pm tonight.
