After ditching loser boyfriend Jack Tweed, Jade Goody appears to be having the time of her life.

Despite Jade's friend appearing to be some pounds lighter than her showbiz pal, the she showed her mettle as she easily lifted the curvy star into the air while Jade, 27, held on tightly.

The reality television star appeared to be the worse for wear after leaving Essex nightspot Faces, hence the high-jinks which took place outside the club as Jade was hoisted into the air by a blonde friend in a yellow minidress.

Jade was enjoying a girl's night out, one of many since her split from 20 year-old Jack.

Since their split from Jack last March after a two-and-half year relationship, the mother of two, boys Bobby, 4, and Freddy, 3, has focused on relaunching her career following the Big Brother racism row.

Now, 15 months on, she is planning a comeback with a new agent and new TV show Jade's Fit Camp, along with two other series in the pipeline.

A source said: 'Jade and Jack got back together after their split, but it wasn't the same.

'She thinks that without Jack and the sleazy tales of his affairs with other women, she'd do better as the loveable, ditzy Jade that viewers fell in love with the first time around on Big Brother,' the source added.

Goody - a veteran of the Big Brother series which made her famous - was evicted from the Celebrity House in a public vote after her description of the Bollywood star as "Shilpa Poppadom".

It sparked outrage in India, where  protesters in India burning an effigy of the show's producers.

After seeing clips of her comments, Goody admitted: "In all honesty I am disgusted with myself witnessing what I have seen.

Later this year she will be playing the baddie for laughs in panto as she takes on the role as the Wicked Queen in Lincoln Theatre Royal's production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
