A priest visited Jane Goody today as her publicist warned that "it's just a matter of when" for the dying British reality TV star, PerezHilton.com reports. "She is unconscious a lot of the time, almost in a coma-like state," the rep went on. "She comes round for maybe a few minutes, sometimes just a few seconds and she goes again." Cervical cancer has spread to Goody's brain and other parts of her body.

The cancer-stricken Goody couldn't speak and had trouble breathing last night. Goody's publicist told the Daily Mail that "She has deteriorated, she is very weak," and "was panicking." Goody's sons Bobby and Freddie arrived at her home, but a planned early Mother's Day celebration was canceled due to her deteriorating condition. (More Jade Goody stories.)
