Jade Goody is understood to have been moved to a different hospital after being admitted for treatment to help relieve the pain caused by her terminal cancer.
The 27-year-old was taken from the Royal Marsden Hospital in a wheelchair and was driven away in a waiting ambulance.
Her spokesman Max Clifford said his "instinct" was that she was being taken to the oncology unit at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, also in south west London, for further assessment.
"She had a much better night - whatever they did relaxed her," Mr Clifford told Sky News.
"I understand she's been having tests and scans this morning.
"I believe she has been moved to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for further tests or surgery depending on what the scans reveal."
The former Big Brother star was readmitted to hospital last night, after spending Sunday in 'agony' at a hospice.
Mr Clifford, said she had been told an operation to remove a blockage from her bowel might be needed to relieve the pain.
He added that Goody had been coping "remarkably" with her condition.
"In terms of her spirit, she has been very brave and positive. It is only when she is in considerable pain that she has been sobbing," he told Sky News.
"Other than that, she has been very upbeat and is looking forward to the christening of her sons."
Meanwhile, Goody's husband, Jack Tweed, 21, is in court in Essex today facing a charge of assault. It is alleged he attacked a taxi driver last May Day bank holiday.
Prosecutors told magistrates that Tweed, 21, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, lost his temper after leaving a club in Epping.
They said Tweed, who denies assault, grabbed the driver around the neck while the car was moving and swore at him.
As Tweed faces magistrates, Mr Clifford said Goody's sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, may visit their mother in hospital "providing she is well enough and out of pain".
"She just wants to be at home with the kids and obviously with Jack," he said.
Doctors have told Goody that she has weeks to live after her cervical cancer spread to her liver, groin and bowel.
Goody and her sons are due to be christened next Saturday at a church close to her home.
She also plans to record a television interview with Piers Morgan for ITV early this week, Mr Clifford said.
