Hammer creep at Jade bed

A WEIRDO with a hammer was caught inside Jade Goody’s hospital room yesterday — praying over the dying star.

Horrified medics raised the alarm after cancer-stricken Jade was woken by the female intruder and called for help.

They summoned cops who rushed to the scene and arrested the mystery woman.

The intruder carrying a large bag is said to be French and aged 41. She woke 27-year-old Jade with praying and chanting.

Publicist Max Clifford said: “Jade was obviously shocked. She started saying, ‘Who are you? What are you doing here?’

“She called out for a nurse and when someone came the woman ran off."

The astonishing incident came at about 3pm after Big Brother favourite Jade’s new hubby Jack Tweed briefly left his vigil at her side to get a cup of tea.

A Met Police spokesman said last night: “We were called to the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea this afternoon.

“We arrested a woman who was in a patient’s room and whose behaviour was flagged up by the hospital’s security.

“After questioning her she was found to be in possession of an offensive weapon. She was arrested for possessing the weapon and taken into custody at a London police station for further questioning.

“She had not attempted to use the weapon.”

A Met Police source said the woman was armed with a hammer. She was later released from custody and police said there would be no further action.

Clifford added that Jade was now more determined than ever to return home following the incident.

He said: “This has unsettled her. She is hoping to return in the next few days.”

He said that security around Jade’s room had been stepped up. He also said the star had been heavily sedated yesterday as she recovered from her hospital christening with sons Bobby, five, and four-year-old Freddie on Saturday.

And he revealed she was surprised to learn she is headline news in the States.

He said: “Jack’s been telling her about all the messages from well-wishers. It was an eye-opener that she’s major news on all the main US networks.

“She is understandably very tired from the christening. She has been sedated and will continue to be — which at least means that she’s not in pain. She was very happy with how things went on Saturday.

“The two things she wanted to do were get married and for her and the boys to be christened.”

He added: “What she said to me was, 'Everything is in place now'.”

Yesterday her sons’ godfather Kevin Adams rushed to the hospital. He and Jack held her hands as she made her final requests to ensure arrangements were made before her death.

Jade has asked other friends not to visit her as her condition worsens. A pal said: “We’re bracing ourselves for that dreaded call.”
