Jade christened in final public act

12 April 2012

Cancer-stricken reality TV star Jade Goody and her two children were christened in a "very short and emotional service", her publicist said.

Max Clifford said the "very pale and fragile" Goody was in a wheelchair and assisted by nurses during the service with her sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, at the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London.

He said it was the last thing that Goody would do publicly and added that she had a "smile and a kiss for everyone who was there".

Goody, 27, who has only weeks to live, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August last year.

She had wanted the ceremony to take place in a church, but she was transferred to the Royal Marsden Hospital after a bowel operation and has been heavily sedated, sleeping much of the time.

Her husband Jack Tweed, mother Jackiey Budden and her sons' father Jeff Brazier were among about 20 close friends and family at the private service.

Goody has been determined to raise as much money as possible through media deals, which will go to her sons.

Mr Clifford said he believed the reality TV star was saying goodbye to some people for the final time following the ceremony.

He said: "It was in my mind that she was saying a final goodbye to some people."

He added: "Jade was obviously very happy with the whole thing; Jeff was there on one side, Jack was there on the other side, and it was a very short and emotional service. I think everybody knew just how important it was to Jade."
