Jade's marathon anguish

Jade Goody collapsed during yesterday's London Marathon and was rushed to hospital after complaining of breathing problems.

The 24-year-old ex-Big Brother contestant had joked before the 26 mile race that her training regime had consisted of eating takeaways and drinking, with only one hour's worth of exercise.

And the lack of fitness showed, as Jade was forced to pull out of the race past the three-quarters mark at the Docklands stage of the run.

Speaking from her Essex home, a weary but recovered Jade said she was "gutted I didn't get my medal", but pledged to complete a full training programme if she ran next year.

More than 40,000 runners braved the capital's drizzle for the annual event, raising over £25 million in the process.
