Never thought I would put an article about Jade Goody here!

Terminally ill Jade Goody is looking forward to the christening of her sons next weekend. Fresh from her wedding to Jack Tweed last Sunday, Goody is focusing on preparations for the christening of sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four. According to her publicist, Max Clifford, the christening will take place next Saturday at a church near Goody’s home in Upshire, Essex.

“She is looking forward to the christening,” said Mr Clifford. “She is planning it with friends and family.”

Goody made the decision to christen her sons after being told by doctors last month that her cancer was terminal. She said she wanted to christen them and teach them about Jesus so that they would know their mummy was looking down on them from Heaven. The christening will be performed by independent Bishop Jonathan Blake, who also performed Goody’s wedding to Tweed. Mr Clifford said Goody wanted to throw a big party for her boys.

“It will be a local church then a party for all the children. She wants to make it as big a party as possible. She is going to get christened herself as well. She wanted to do that.”

The former Big Brother contestant’s condition is said to be deteriorating. She is being cared for at the St Clare Hospice in Hastingwood, near Harlow, Essex, after being taken in for treatment on Friday following hallucinations. A friend of Jade told the Sunday Mirror she was in utter pain and had said she feared not making it to the weekend. Bishop Blake has offered to hold the christenings wherever is easiest for Jade.

He was quoted by The Daily Mail as saying: “The christening can happen anywhere, inside or outside, there are no restrictions. It can even be carried out in the hospice, if that’s where Jade wants it. It would not matter one iota if she is bedridden. The family have asked me to keep quiet about the ceremony they want and I must respect their privacy. She knows I am there for her when she needs me.”
