Jade Goody in cancer scare

Former Big Brother housemate Jade Goody has reportedly spent a week in hospital as doctors attempt to find the cause of a mystery illness.

Jade's agent Mark Thomas told The Sun: "We still don’t know what’s wrong but, yes, it is a cancer scare.

"Jade has undergone a series of tests but the doctors can’t pinpoint the problem. She’s still in pain and it’s a worry."

Doctors began the tests after Jade collapsed at home last Saturday and was rushed to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex.

Jade was previously tested for bowel cancer in 2006 and ovarian cancer in 2004, but was given the all-clear both times.
