Fans visit home of 'princess' Jade Goody
Fans of Jade Goody have travelled to her home in Upshire, Essex to show their support for the terminally ill reality TV star.
Goody is said to be entering her final hours after she left hospital for home last week and is reportedly slipping in and out of consciousness, Metro reports.
One fan, Jade Cunningham-Cox, said: "I was just drawn to Jade's house. For her to be in such distress, I felt as a fan I should be closer to her.
"She is the new princess of the people and it's tragic her life is going to end this way."
Goody is said to be "at peace" and sleeping deeply as she succumbs to her battle with cancer.
FFS, people, get a life. Goody is NOT the new princess of the people just because she is dying at a young age.

OK! magazine has defended its decision to publish a tribute edition to Jade Goody even though she is still alive.
This week's copy of the magazine carries a black border, the banner Jade Goody Official Tribute Issue 1981 - 2009 and the strapline In Loving Memory.
The 27-year-old reality TV star, who has terminal cancer, is spending her final days at home with her family.
Her friend and publicist Max Clifford said the star was "very weak" but that she had "put her house in order".
In a statement, the magazine said: "OK!'s tribute issue is a celebration of Jade's amazing life.
"Jade's family have spoken to OK! today to reiterate that they understand the tribute issue and view it as being very kind to Jade.
"They would like to also state that they are extremely grateful for the support that OK! has provided during this distressing period."
Goody has been open about her desire to use media interest in her illness to secure the financial future of her two sons.
It is understood OK! paid around ??700,000 for rights to her recent wedding to Jack Tweed and the boys' christening.
Mr Clifford said Goody would be "present in spirit" at a rally to press for the minimum age for cervical smear tests to be reduced from 25 to 20.
Bob and Lynn Walker, who lost their daughter Claire to cervical cancer last year at the age of 23, were handing a petition in to Downing Street.
Mr Clifford also praised Tweed for his unstinting support: "Jack has been incredible. He has been nursing her every hour he is allowed to be there, brushing her teeth, holding her hand.
"For a 21-year-old to do what he has done is incredible. We all know the other side of him but in this he has been absolutely amazing. To be able to sit there day and night watching somebody you love die, it is very hard.
"He has done everything possible to make things as good as possible for as long as possible for Jade."
The reality TV star is also being nursed by mother Jackiey Budden at her home in Essex.
