She's my wife, she needs me

JADE Goody’s husband begged probation chiefs to take off his tag yesterday — so he can be at her side for her final hours.

Jack Tweed, 21, asked for his curfew to be lifted until she dies, telling them: “She’s my wife and she needs me.”

He is anxiously waiting for their decision after making his case at the pre-arranged meeting.

Jack said he was “feeling hopeful” as he arrived to ask for a suspended tag at the probation offices in Harlow, Essex.

After leaving, he said: “Hopefully they will relax the tag to let me be with Jade. She’s my wife and she needs me by her side.”

Jack has a 7pm curfew as part of his early release from an 18-month jail sentence for assaulting a teenager with a golf club.

Every night he must leave his wife’s bedside to go to his mum Mary’s house in Buckhurst Hill.

It is a twenty-minute drive from Jade’s home in Upshire — time that could be crucial if she has a seizure or stops breathing.

Jack has been left “heartbroken” at having to leave her.

The daily goodbyes are said to upset the whole family and he has told probation officers it causes her extreme distress.

A friend said: “Not having her husband with her is causing added upset to Jade.

“She becomes tearful when it starts getting close to the time when Jack has to leave.

“He said he will break the curfew if she starts slipping away — but she doesn’t want him to end up back in prison.

“It is a constant stress which she doesn’t need.

“They have had such a short time together as man and wife. It would be heartbreaking if they were denied this final time together.”

Jade’s spokesman said the former Big Brother star, 27, understood Jack’s bail terms.

He said: “They have put a few feelers out but they are not really expecting anything.

“They are exploring possibilities. Both Jade and Jack were chuffed they got to spend their wedding night together.

“We are not taking liberties. We don’t want to push it and we understand the deal — but it would be wonderful if something could be done.

“Jade would obviously love to have her husband by her side at the moment.”

Yesterday Jack went straight to Jade’s house after making his case alone to officials.

Dressed in jeans and a green jacket, his mum dropped him off just before 3pm.
Exhausted

Ten minutes later he left the £750,000 barn conversion in a silver Mercedes to pick up her sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, from school.

He returned with the boys, carrying their green book bags.

Jack was with Jade’s close friend and personal trainer Kevin Adams, who had walked her sons to school earlier.

Exhausted Jade — who has been told she could have weeks to live — did not go to hospital yesterday.

Doctors from London’s Royal Marsden Hospital visited her bedside.

Her spokesman said: “They are trying to make her as comfortable as possible and they are making sure she has everything she needs.”

He added: “She has been sleeping a lot. She is still recovering from her wedding on Sunday, which is understandable. She is relaxing.”

Jade is being cared for around the clock by a team of Macmillan nurses.

Her mum Jackiey Budden is also living at the house, helping to care for the boys.

A christening Jade planned for them has been postponed.

The low-key ceremony — for about 50 close friends and family — is now expected to take place on Saturday March 7.

Her spokesman said: “Saturday is just a better day for everyone.

“She wants it to be a big party for the boys — a real huge celebration for them.”
