Jade sells wedding rights for £1 millionReality TV star Jade Goody is expected to make almost £1 million from the TV and magazine rights to her wedding.
It's been revealed that she has finalised deals with OK! magazine and Living TV for exclusive coverage of the event.
The magazine deal is reportedly worth more than £700,000 with a further £100,000 coming from the sale of the TV rights.
Her publicist Max Clifford said: "They (Living TV) have an ongoing relationship with Jade but then of course because of what's happened to her, that has become much more sensitive and complicated.
"What I suggested is they film the wedding, and then that's it. There won't be more episodes of the series they have been filming."
27-year-old Jade was told by doctors last weekend that her cervical cancer was terminal and that she has just months to live.
Her wedding to boyfriend Jack Tweed is due to take place this weekend at a country house hotel in Essex.

I'd think that she has some good people surrounding her - such as Max - who will be making sure that she is given the right advice and that, whilst she has been portrayed as an idiot many times, she's not that stupid and will make damn sure that her children are properly looked after. Full marks to her for making as much money as she can for them.
I hope that she has a fabulous day for her wedding and is able to enjoy it as much as she is able to.

I do sincerely believe she is doing this for the kids, I'm not a fan of Jack either but, he has stood by her through this thing, which some guys his age wouldn't, but I hope he isnt marrying her just to get his hands on the money.

^^ I'm so glad you said that, about whether he's marrying her for her money, because I must confess the thought has crossed my mind a few times.
I sincerely hope not. Perhaps he's just one that's outwards a bit more.... I dunno the word, but maybe inside he's genuinly really gutted.

Max Clifford has said the money she's making from the deals is going into a trust fund for her children. She wants them to have a private education. I don't trust Jack either but I'm glad Jades got someone that will make her happy in her final days.

I just watched the documentary on LIving TV, it was so sad, you just cant believe how much bad luck she's had, even down to a friend who lived in Spain where she spent a weeks holiday, 2 weeks later he had a fatal heart attack, how unfair, poor poor Jade. I know she wouldn't want us to feel sorry for her but you really can't help it can you!
I sincerely hope that the wedding is everything she dreams of, all organised from her hospital bed, and those children get some really good happy memories of their mum.

I hope that the money is entrusted to people who will put the boys first and foremost. Jade was just Jade. She bounced onto our screens as a larger than life character, and will be remembered as one of the most popular contestants of Big Brother for years to come.
If nothing else, she has had a better life thanks to that programme and finally had some of the wealth that we all crave, just by being who she was, no airs or graces, or faked for the camera. The boys will grow up and be able to watch footage of their Mum being who she was, not some dollied up fake.
I recently saw Chantelle who took part in the Celebrity Big Brother, she was the opposite, she went in as a nobodyand has transformed herself into every other tanned bimbo in the spotlight.

The channel, which is reported to have paid around £100,000 for the rights, will screen the build-up to Jade's wedding to Jack Tweed on the first night and the wedding itself the next day.
The two shows will also be repeated on March 14 and 15.
Jade and Jack married at Down Hall County Hotel in Hertfordshire last Sunday.
The reality TV star, who has terminal cancer, is thought to have earned around £1m in total for media deals for the wedding and the christening of her sons.
OK! magazine is estimated to have paid £700,000 alone for the picture rights to their marriage.
The 27-year-old, who found fame on Channel 4's reality show Big Brother in 2002, has vowed to use the money raised to provide for her sons.
It is understood she is preparing to cut back on being in the media spotlight, with one more big TV interview with Piers Morgan on ITV1. |

| Quote: | Jade Goody In Hospice After Hallucinations
Sky News
Terminally ill Jade Goody has gone into a hospice where she is expected to stay over the weekend, her publicist has confirmed.
The reality TV star is having her cancer medication adjusted after she suffered from hallucinations, Max Clifford said.
"She was all over the place and imagining all kinds of things," he told Sky News.
"Those who were there were saying it was absolutely awful.
"So we explained to the nurses what had happened and they thought the best thing to do was to get her into the hospice for two or three days."
Mr Clifford stressed that Jade, 27, has not gone to St Clare Hospice, near Harlow, to die.
He said she has been exhausted since her "dream wedding" to Jack Tweed last Sunday at Down Hall County Hotel in Hertfordshire.
"Every day, she has been a little bit better," he said.
"But yesterday she had a real turn for the worse because of the mixture of drugs she was on."
Jade vowed to earn as much money as she could to secure her two sons' future after being told her cervical cancer had spread and was terminal.
She is believed to have earned around £1m for the television and magazine coverage of her wedding and her boys' christening, which will take place on March 7.
The St Clare Hospice cares for people who have illnesses such as cancer, neurological disease or organ failure. |

Poor Jade. Without sounding awful, I honestly hope she doesn't have to suffer for too much longer.

| Quote: | Jade Goody: 'I'll be dead in a month'

Jade Goody has reportedly revealed that she has just one month left to live.
The terminally-ill reality star is believed to have let her prognosis slip during an argument with a neighbour outside her home in Upshire, Essex yesterday.
Goody rowed with the male resident as she left her property to enter a hospice for the weekend, reports claim. It is believed that the dispute centred around a shared gate.
The former Big Brother contestant apparently screamed: "Chill out - I'm gonna be dead in a month."
A source told The Sun: "This man shouted something and she went mad and started screaming at him. He and Jade share a gate that he often has to go and close after people have left her house."
Goody's spokesman Max Clifford confirmed that the star does not have much time left, explaining: "She knows it is just weeks. No one can say when exactly. She is being very brave."
The 27-year-old was diagnosed with cancer in August last year. She was told that the disease is terminal earlier this month. |

She's going to have grief to end isn't she. Poor Jade. People should think about that and leave her alone to at least attempt to live the time she has left with as little trauma as possible.
I just cannot imagine how she does it. If I had to live knowing that I was going to die possibly within the next month I think I'd be a wreck. I'm sure she is behind closed doors.

Cancer-stricken Jade Goody is facing the prospect of an operation to relieve her "awful pain", her publicist Max Clifford has said.
The 27-year-old Big Brother star returned to the Royal Marsden Hospital, in Fulham, south west London, on Sunday night from the Essex hospice where she was being treated.
She had spent the day in agony and doctors will be operating as soon as possible, said Mr Clifford.
Goody has been given just weeks to live after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"She has a great deal of pain from her tummy and they don't seem to be able to get it under control," said Mr Clifford. "She has gone back to the Marsden. There's likely to be further surgery."
Goody was taken to St Clare Hospice, in Hastingwood, near Harlow, Essex, on Friday night and had been due to return to her home, in nearby Upshire, on Monday. But Mr Clifford said doctors had explained that surgery was likely to be the best option.
"I think it's just to get her out of this awful pain that she is in," said Mr Clifford. "When I spoke to her she said she might need further surgery. She says they've explained things to her and that's what's likely to happen. She said: 'Whatever gets me out of this pain'."
Mr Clifford denied Goody's admission to hospital was a setback in her battle against the disease.
"It's a continuing process but we hope they will be able to get things under control," he said. "She wants to go home. She doesn't want to be in hospital. She's very frightened. She was sobbing on the phone to me. She said: 'Why can't they get me out of all this pain?'. Hopefully that's what they're going to do."
Goody is due to be christened next Saturday at a church close to her home with her boys, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four. She also plans to record a television interview with Piers Morgan for ITV early this week

It can't be easy when she has two little ones though.
I read today that they managed to get her pain under control and that she got a good night sleep last night.

I really don't know what I'd do. If they couldn't get the pain under control with the strongest of drugs then I would probably do it if it made my last days more tolerable and thus a little easier to enjoy with my family.
