Jade GoodyJade GoodyEx-Big Brother star Jade Goody was rushed to hospital after failing to complete the London Marathon.

Jade passed out in the street 18 miles into the 26.2 mile run.

The star, who admits to having done minimal training, "turned blue" according to spectator Richard Lankshear.

He told The Sun:

"She looked in a bad way and was obviously in a lot of pain. She was shouting to medics, 'I'm dying, I'm dying'."

But, following treatment at The Royal London Hospital in East London, Jade was allowed to go home and rest up.

Having got her breath back, she told the paper:

"I was just so exhausted I couldn't carry on - but the doctors say I'm OK. I'm gutted I didn't get my medal, but I've only got myself to blame as I did hardly any training."

And even at the start line, she told Gordon Ramsay: "I've been eating curry and Chinese and drinking."

Other celebrity runners had more luck at finishing the course.

Sophie Anderton, Rebecca Loos and Gordon Ramsay all made it past the finishing line.
