Tweed: Jade cradled our 'baby' as she lay dying...
Updated 13:07pm on 31 Mar 2009Jack Tweed has described how Jade Goody suffered hallucinations in which she cradled an imaginary baby as her body succumbed to cancer.
Singalong: Jade serenaded mum and hubby
Speaking for the first time since the 27-year-old reality TV star lost her battle with the disease on Mother's Day, Goody's husband said she also woke up singing to him and her mother, Jackiey Budden.
He said: "Sometimes Jade would wake up and think she was nursing a baby in her arms. I used to go along with it and pretend to take the baby.
"One morning she woke up and she was waving her arms above her head and singing. I called Jackiey in and we were watching her and singing along."
And he said that in his last conversation with Goody she told him to "become a millionaire from selling pineapples". She slipped into a coma soon after and died 48 hours later.
Tweed, 21, said he wants to make Goody proud and has vowed to stay out of trouble to "be the man that Jade wanted me to be". He is facing a prison sentence for assault and was due to be sentenced last week but it was postponed so he could attend his wife's funeral this Saturday.
Speaking to OK! magazine, he said: "This has made me realise what's important."
It was also revealed today that he will be a pallbearer. A friend said that Tweed will read a poem he wrote for Goody at the funeral in St John the Baptist Church, Buckhurst Hill, Essex.

Thank you Emily I totally agree with you and couldnt have said it better myself. I am fed up with people running Jade and Jack down the only one to blame for the papers showing the stories is Max Clifford - he has lost a hugh income with the passing of Jade so he is trying to milk every last penny he can. I think Jade should be left to rest in peace now as the family have so requested.

Lorraine, it's quite obvious that the majority of the UK population want to hear this information or they wouldnt continue to buy the magazines. And seeing as Jack has been with Jade for 3 years and created a baby with her I hardly think he's 'milking the gravy train'. He didn't, according to reports, take one ounce of payment from her will or accept her house, I think that’s testament to his nature. And by selling his thoughts on the matter he is probably doing what Jade herself advised him to do. She sold her life story to her death, I don’t think for one second she would have been unaware of what Jack proposed to do and would have supported him all the way. At the end of the day he is a young guy who has just lost his wife to cancer. Perhaps people should have more compassion and not be so quick to judge.

I can't wait to hear that poem. I hope he stays out of trouble and gets a career in pineapples like Jade wanted. If he doesn't, it will be like he's dancing on her grave.
