Goody allowed to leave hospital

Jade Goody is being allowed to leave hospital for a few days following cancer surgery.

The Big Brother actress has undergone successful treatment for cervical cancer and will be given a few days at home with her sons before going back into care.

Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, have not seen Goody since she has been in hospital. According to a source, this is because the reality star did not want them to see "mummy being ill".

"She's been knocked for six ... The plan is for her to spend between two and five days relaxing," a source told The Sun.

"Now the op is out of the way it's a real boost for her and she's so much more hopeful."

Goody is expected to return to hospital within the week for chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.
