Jade Goody's widower Jack Tweed marks 11th anniversary of her death with tribute

Jade Goody 's ex-husband Jack Tweed has paid a heartbreaking tribute to the late star on the 11th anniversary of her death.

The heartbroken widower, 32, marked the 11-year anniversary of her death with the heartfelt words: "The pain doesn't get any less".

Goody died aged 27 in 2009 after an eight-month battle with cervical cancer.

She left behind her sons Bobby, 16, and Freddie, 15, in the care of her ex Jeff Brazier.

Jade and Jack wed just one month before her tragic death on Mother's Day.

"Many years may have passed since Jade died but the pain doesn't get any less. I still love and miss Jade as much today as I did the moment went to sleep," Jack told The Sun.

The widower revealed he was unable to see his own mum due to government advice to self-isolate at home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Jack continued: "It is particularly hard today as I won't be seeing my own mum as normal so will spend a lot of time on my own.

"But I’ll be lighting a candle for Jade. It's the same one each year, a large candle we got on our wedding day. I know I will never meet anyone like her again."

The telly personality said he hopes Jade's legacy will live on and that people will "remember her smile" and love of life.

It comes after he reached out to Jade's mum Jackiey Budden ahead of the anniversary.

He issued a tear-jerking plea to Jackiey and begged her to get back in contact with him to see how she's getting on.

Previously, he opened up about how his family saved his life when he had suicidal thoughts following her death.
