Jade "brave and positive" as her cancer spreads
Jade Goody was yesterday told the devastating news that her cancer is now travelling through her body in her blood, and that the disease has even been found in her brain. The BB star, who was last night undergoing an operation to remove a blockage in her bowel, is said to be coping "remarkably well" with the news, instead continuing to focus on trying to spend as much time as she can with her two sons. Her publicist Max Clifford explained, "If [the operation] is successful then it will make a tremendous difference. She will have far more mobility, be out of pain and be able to eat food again." Tragically, when cancer gets into a victim's brain, the side-effects can include vomiting, fits, and nausea, but Jade is said to be prepared for this. All she is concerned about is getting rid of the agonising pain in her tummy. Max Clifford went on to say, "She [Jade] has been very brave and positive." The star's new hubby Jack Tweed was unable to be by her side yesterday due to his court appearance, telling reporters, "Of course I want to be there with her, but I have no choice." It has been also reported that Jade's offered her Essex house to Jack, but he refused, telling her, "I'd be looking for you in every corner." If the op has the desired effect and gets Jade's pain under control, it is thought she will return home as soon as possible.

Danielle Lloyd reveals she was beaten up by her ex-boyfriend
Danielle Lloyd has come forward and confessed that she is a former victim of domestic violence. The model made the shocking admission in the wake of singer Rihanna's alleged attack, and now wants to do as much as she can to help women in a similar situation. Danielle has also released a photo of herself following one such attack, which shows her with a broken cheekbone, large black eye and a split and bleeding lip, and admits that she stayed with her violent ex-boyfriend for two years. Speaking about her experience, Danielle said, "It saddens me to read about violent relationships. I'd advise any woman not to return to an abusive partner." The model admits that her ex called her "a slag" and that she only left after waking up "covered in blood". Danielle makes her confession in a special documentary for Comic Relief, entitled Dangerous Love – A Comic Relief Special, which will be shown tonight, at 9pm on BBC3. She hopes her story will inspire other women to leave their abusive partners.

Jesus’ ex ‘jealous’ of Madonna
Imagine dating a super-hot male model, only to be dumped for... Madonna. That’s gotta hurt, right? Well, Madge’s new (young) bloke Jesus Luz’s ex, model Krishna Siqueira has admitted she’s jealous of the pop queen. "In the beginning I was very upset. I wasn’t expecting this at all," she says, "But [Jesus and I] are still friends and we still talk." The Brazilian also reveals that she hasn’t asked Jesus for details of his new lovefest: "Maybe because I’m a bit jealous." And as for whether he’s with M purely for publicity, she’s quick to respond, "No. He’s not that kind of person."

Alesha’s Kilimanjaro tumble
The nine celebs may be only a few days into their brilliant charitable trek up Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief, but the team have already had a few setbacks. First Gary Barlow did his back in, Denise Van Outen suffered a nasty trip and now Alesha Dixon has had a 10ft tumble. The singer slipped and fell down a steep ledge, having just nipped off to have a wee. "She landed with a loud bump," heatworld hears. But then she got up, laughed and shouted to everyone that she was OK. Phew!
