Jade Goody has revealed that she went through hell in rehab, and it was even worse than Big Brother.

The race-row star, 25, was meant to spend WEEKS in the famous Priory clinic but checked out on Friday after just five days.

She admitted to friends she couldn't cope with the group therapy sessions—and was terrified one of the other patients would blab her innermost secrets to the outside world.

The mum of two, who is suffering from severe depression, insomnia and shock, is now holed up in Norfolk in a luxury home belonging to her boyfriend Jack Tweed's uncle.

She has agreed to carry on with her private consultations at the south-west London clinic but only as a day patient.

"Jade hated it there. She said, ‘This is worse than Big Brother, I'm going through hell. 'She knew she badly needed help and the doctors were brilliant but she couldn't stand the regime," a friend of Goody was quoted by the Newsoftheworld, as saying.

"And she didn't like being confined so soon after leaving Big Brother. She kept saying, ‘I need space, I need space.'

"The biggest problem was the group sessions. She felt very uncomfortable talking about her feelings with strangers.
