Jade Goody rushed to hospital

TV actress Jade Goody, who is battling cervical cancer, was rushed to the hospital after her condition worsened due to a flu type virus which she caught after appearing on stage as the 'Wicked Queen' in the pantomime 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs'.



Goody, who became famous in India during her stint with reality show 'Big Brother' in UK for bullying Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, was diagnosed with cancer last year and since then she has been under treatment.



Check ups revealed Goody's chemotherapy drugs had reduced count of infection-fighting blood cells in her body to a dangerously low level that doctors wanted to admit her immediately, the Daily Mail reported.



"Jade was desperate to appear in the pantomime and not let anyone down. She is very prone to infection and has obviously picked up something which has hit her incredibly hard," said a source close to the 27-year-old actress.


Goody has been unable to appear in the play for more than a week and rang doctors when she felt no better on Monday.


Her consultant at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she had further checks yesterday, has warned that she may be unable to return to the show which runs until January 24.


Although her gruelling treatment appears to have been going well it is certainly straining Goody's health.


The mother of two was recently admitted in hospital and was allowed to go home on condition she had complete rest after hospital tests. But she was told she will be taken into hospital later this week if her health does not improve.
