Cancer-stricken former Big Brother star Jade Goody has left hospital to prepare for her wedding. The 27-year-old is planning to marry Jack Tweed this weekend, and is expected to earn close to £1 million from magazine rights and other media deals for coverage of the ceremony. She was pictured on Wednesday being taken from London's Royal Marsden Hospital by ambulance. The star looked pale and unsteady as she was helped from a wheelchair into the vehicle. Her friend and publicist Max Clifford said she would spend time at home to see how she coped ahead of the ceremony. Jade has used coverage of her illness to raise money for her sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, before she dies. Exclusive deals to cover Jade's wedding to Jack have been agreed with Living TV and OK! magazine, Max said. He said the ceremony would probably be broadcast in mid-March as the last in Jade's ongoing series about her illness for the channel. Click below to watch a clip from the Living series, Jade.
