Jack Tweed has revealed that he has struggled to find love after the death of wife Jade Goody as “no one really compares.”
The 32-year-old married Big Brother star Goody in February 2009, just one month before she died of cervical cancer aged 27.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Tweed confirmed that he “hasn’t met anyone” 10 years on.
“I’m alright, I just get by,” he told hosts Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley. “I just get on with it.
“But yes, I haven’t met anyone. I don’t feel like I could meet anyone yet, as no one really compares to Jade, so I don’t want to put that person… It’s not fair on a person to put them through that.”
Tweed said that watching the first episode of Channel 4 documentary Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain had “brought her back for a little bit” and admitted that he “didn’t want it to end.”
“You sort of zone into it,” he said. “I haven’t heard her voice for a while or seen any programmes on her for a while. So I sort of zoned in, I didn’t want it to end.
“It brought her back for a little bit and then it finished and I realised she was gone again.”
He added that being able to hear his wife’s voice had made him “feel closer to her.”
“No one sounds like Jade, as soon as Jade talks you can tell it’s Jade from a mile off,” he said.
He also shared his hope that the documentary will “help promote cervical cancer screening.”
Following Goody’s death, the number of women attending cervical cancer screenings rose by half a million.
However screening rates are currently on the decline across the UK, with recent data revealing that the number of women attending has fallen to a 20-year low.
Around 2,600 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in England each year, with around 690 deaths.
It is estimated that if everyone attended screenings as scheduled, 83 per cent of cases could be prevented.
Public Health England launched the ‘Cervical Screening Saves Lives’ campaign earlier this year in a bid to encourage more women to book appointments.
