Jack Tweed, 21, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was given a 12-week jail sentence on April 14 after being convicted of assaulting a taxi driver.

He left Edmunds Hill Prison near Newmarket, Suffolk, and was met by his mother, Mary, and friend Mark Wright.

Four police officers stood guard at the entrance to the prison as Tweed left.

Tweed was jailed by magistrates in Harlow, Essex, after a court heard that he attacked Stephen Wilkins in Epping, Essex, in May 2008.

Prosecutors said Tweed threatened to stab the taxi driver while the car was travelling at 50mph.

They said Tweed lost his temper after being asked to pay the fare in advance.

Magistrates told Tweed that he would serve half of his sentence before being released on licence.

Tweed had denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.

Goody - who was famed for her appearances on the Channel 4 show Big Brother - died in April after losing a fight against cancer. She married Tweed shortly before her death.
