Jade Goody

[*-Rooney-*]

i think he should be allowed to be there for her and by the sounds of it im the only one who thinks that,

it cant be good for jade to have to say goodbye to jack everyday and must cause a lot of distress

[Kirsty :]]

While I agree it would be distressing for Jade, I'm sure there are many many other people probably in this same situation, I'm in agreement with everyone else who has said that yeah, fair enough for the wedding, but he went out partying and left Jade alone anyways (apparently), I agree it must be difficult but I don't beleive in one rule for one and not the other, plus it's Jacks own fault, if he had not commited the crime in the first place he wouldn't have to wear a tag, but I do really feel for Jade, but I don't feel for him, and I believe he is slowly turning himself into the victim with all the tag business.

Like Kirsty said, they wouldn't be in this situation now and Jade wouldn't be so distressed if Jack learnt how to abide by the law in the first place it's his own fault.

Jade' story has been mentioned on E News - she is making headlines in the US also

[Abigail]

I think she's making headlines all over the world.

Kirsty, that's what I was trying to say too. Couldn't quite find the words. I don't doubt that there are many spouses in similar situations up and down the country but they just get on with it.

I think in her last 24-48hrs (i.e. the very end) he should be by her side but she's still got two months to go until that stage (hopefully).

Why do I get the feeling that Jack is trying to carve a name for himself in the public eye? Lots of press releases recently have been about him, making out he's a victim of the parole board and he's not being treated with enough compassion. It shouldn't be about Jack, the public aren't interested in him.

The parole board are damned if they do and damned if they don't. All this media pressure may force their hand, either way people won't be happy.

JACK Tweed is to have his tag removed to be with bride Jade Goody when she dies — as a reward for behaving at their wedding.
The tragic Big Brother star’s paroled hubby will have his curfew suspended like it was on their wedding night, a senior Justice Ministry source revealed yesterday.

Plans drawn up for when Jade, 27, finally succumbs to the cancer that is killing her will see the tag taken off so he can race to her deathbed without alarms going off.

The source confirmed to The Sun that Jack’s behaviour at Sunday’s wedding was a “factor” — adding: “He did not abuse the relaxation of the tagging and the curfew.

“This contrasts with Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who was let out on a tag and then behaved so badly he ended up back inside.

Jack, 21, was crushed yesterday after being told his pleas for the tag to be removed had been vetoed by probation officials.

The ex-lag — out of jail after a sentence for assault — has to wear it to check he abides by his curfew.

From 7pm to 7am he must stay at his mum’s — 20 minutes’ drive from his new wife’s £750,000 converted barn in Upshire, Essex.

The Sun’s source stressed Jack was not getting special treatment — insisting: “There is no question of removing the tag indefinitely now and dropping the curfew conditions.

“But we are planning for the eventuality of Jade’s death. When we have medical evidence this is imminent the tag will be removed — but only for a very limited period.”

Jack will be free of it for only a “matter of days” on compassionate grounds.

Mum-of-two Jade — ravaged by cervical cancer and on a morphine drip at home — has just weeks to live at most.

A pal of Tweed’s teenage victim Daniel Steele, who was furious at the curfew being eased for his attacker’s wedding, said: “To be at Jade’s bedside when she passes away is an entirely different request. He has no grudge against her.”

Daniel, who was beaten with a golf club, said: “I do not wish cancer on anyone.”

Yesterday Jack helped out on the school run for Jade’s sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.

Jade is planning their christening the weekend after next.

Her spokesman said: “She is still very weak and tired, a bit better today than yesterday — although she is not in a good place.”

Wendy Richard sent a hearbreak final message of hope to her cancer stricken friend Jade Goody.

Shortly before she died, the actress phoned the Big Brother star to congratulate her on her wedding and wish her luck.

Jade was devastated yesterday by news of Wendy’s death.

The pair developed a close bond when both were told they were terminally ill with cancer.

Clifford said: “Wendy was extremely kind. She knew exactly what Jade was going through and went out of her way to get in touch when her cancer was diagnosed.

“She said: ‘Stay strong, I’m thinking of you, we’re in the same boat’. Wendy encouraged Jade not to give up. Jade told me she was supportive and lovely.” Like Jade, Wendy married her long-term love, John Burns, after diagnosis.

Mother-of-two Jade, 27, got her dream wedding to boyfriend Jack Tweed, 21 last Sunday.

Wendy was too ill to attend. Instead, she called Jade last week to congratulate her.

Mr Clifford added: “Wendy phoned and sent lots of love.

“She said she would have loved to have been there but was too sick. She told Jade she would be thinking of her.”

Weak Jade, said to be in great pain yesterday after the exertions of the ceremony, was trying her best to stay positive for the sake of her sons. She has decided to be Christened alongside Bobby-Jack, five, and Freddy, four, on March 7.

Mr Clifford added: “Jade takes solace in the idea that she will go to heaven and have a close link with the boys.”

Cancer-stricken Jade Goody has married her partner Jack Tweed in a "bittersweet" ceremony surrounded by family and friends.

The couple tied the knot at the Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hertfordshire just eight days after Tweed's Valentine's Day proposal.

The terminally ill Big Brother star's wedding was held behind closed doors as part of an exclusive magazine deal with OK!.

Speaking outside the hotel, Goody's publicist Max Clifford announced: "They are now man and wife."

According to The Guardian, Clifford said the 27-year-old was able to stand for most of the 45-minute ceremony, but had to sit down for the last five minutes.

The couple were expected to release white doves after the ceremony as an expression of their love for each other, followed by speeches, a meal and a performance by the Sugababes.

The newlyweds will then spend the night together after Justice Secretary Jack Straw decided to temporarily waive Tweed's curfew, imposed after a jail sentence for assaulting a 16-year-old boy.

yeah but jack straw wasnt going to until this morning stepped in

How do you know it was down to This Morning? I'd hope that the gov wouldn't just do something because of what a television prog's views were on a matter...

because they interviewed someone close to jade and said that jack straw was not budging so Eamon said he will see what this morning can do he also daid that jack straw was out of order.... he said this on public telly probably to humiliate hi!m anyway after that jade and jack got what she wanted...so thats why i said it was down to this morning

The Sugababes have given their support to the 'Jade's Legacy' campaign.

The girl group, who performed at Goody's wedding on Sunday, have signed a petition to lower the screening age for cervical cancer in England from 25 to 20.

54,000 people have already put their signatures to the campaign, which was initiated by The Sun.

"Her story shows how important it is to attend," band member Heidi Range, 25, told the newspaper.

Meanwhile, Keisha Buchanan admitted that hearing of the former Big Brother star's ordeal had made her book her first smear test.

Jade Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August 2008 and has been given months to live after doctors told her the disease was terminal.

I'm sure I read recently that Jack Tweed is due in Court again next week facing another assault charge - this one I think was on a taxi driver. Does anyone know anymore about this cos I can't find any details about it anywhere?
