Big Brother star Jade Goody’s widower Jack Tweed hit with driving ban

  • Jack Tweed, widower of Jade Goody and a reality television personality, has been disqualified from driving for 12 months after admitting to driving under the influence of cannabis .
  • Tweed, 39, pleaded guilty at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court to driving a motor vehicle with a specified controlled drug above the legal limit, following an incident on 6 December 2025 near Chelmsford, Essex .
  • Police stopped Tweed's Volkswagen Golf, and a roadside drug swipe led to a blood sample revealing 5.6 micrograms of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in his system, significantly exceeding the two-microgram limit.
  • The court imposed a fine of £692, a surcharge of £277, and costs of £85, in addition to the statutory driving ban.
  • Tweed, who now works as an electrician, apologised to the court, explaining that he used cannabis to help with trauma, depression, and anxiety, and had consumed it the night before driving.
