Kisses as Jade Goody greets her boyfriend outside prison gates

Jade Goody clings to her boyfriend as she greets him on his release from prison.

The reality TV star, who is suffering from cervical cancer, had an emotional reunion with Jack Tweed as he left Wayland Prison in Norfolk today.

Tweed, 21, had served four months of an 18-month sentence after he was convicted in September of assaulting a 16-year-old boy with a golf club in 2006.

Tweed, who lived with Goody and her two sons at their home in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was sentenced only weeks after she received her cancer diagnosis.

He was granted an early release from prison on the conditions he adheres to a strict curfew and wears an electronic tag.

Currently undergoing chemotherapy which has made her lose all her hair, 27-year-old Goody was distraught when Tweed was sent down and admitted to friends it would be hard to cope without his support.

Now the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, who last month was given a 40 per cent chance of beating the disease by doctors, says she would like to marry Tweed.

Last week, she said: "He hasn't formally proposed yet, but we've been talking about it for months.

"There's just an acceptance that it's going to happen."
