The terminally ill star picked out her $8,000 bridal gown from a selection at Harrods and Jack chose a classic coat and tails from Armani for their D-Day. Goody's gown was a gift from store boss Mohamed Al Fayed.

After the ceremony Max Clifford, the couple's publicist, told reporters that there had been "lots of tears and smiles and laughter."

"This has given her something to think about, a happy event, thank God. The wedding, the christening of her two boys, these are all positive things for her to focus on." The congregation gave the newlyweds a standing ovation after the signing of the register, OK magazine reports.

Mother-of-two Jade had to take a heavy dose of painkillers for the 45-minute service at the Down Hall Country Hotel near Hatfield Heath. Goody sold the picture and TV rights of the ceremony for huge amount in a bid to raise as much money as possible for her sons from a previous relationship, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.

Goody rose to fame in "Big Brother" in 2002 but was highly criticized in 2007 after she taunted Indian actress star Shilpa Shetty. Goody's behavior resulted in more than 40,000 complaints and sparked protests in India.

In August 2008, Goody appeared on the Indian version of Big Brother but had to fly back after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Goody always said that she had always wanted a fairytale wedding and she got her wish fulfilled in Sunday amid a hundred photographers, policemen and well-wishers. The cancer-stricken star now has an outpatient appointment at the Royal Marsden Hospital in southwest London on Wednesday.
