Jade splits with Jack? - Aug 22 2007
Jade Goody and Jack Tweed have split up after two years together.

The couple ended their tempestuous relationship after a spat on Monday night, according to the Sun.

Jade, 26, had a miscarriage just two months ago, but in the last two weeks the pair had moved into a barn house in Upshire, Essex, and had apparently even discussed marriage.

A friend of the couple told the paper: "They have been growing apart for months. The miscarriage hit them incredibly hard and the age gap has caused problems.

"Jack is devastated and Jade is inconsolable but both accept they don’t have a future together.

It’s the latest blow for Jade, whose career has been suffering since her ill-fated appearance in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

The reality TV star, who also has two children with ex Jeff Brazier - Bobby Jack, four, and two-year-old Freddie - has also had to contend with parents at a posh Essex school who’ve reportedly started a petition to keep her son out of the school.

Jade: ’I wanted to die after BB’ - July 23 2007
Jade Goody has admitted that she felt so depressed after her disastrous involvement in the Big Brother race row that she contemplated suicide.

The controversial reality star said the only thing holding her back was thinking about her two young sons, Freddy, two, and Bobby Jack, four.

Jade, 26, reveals the full extent of her troubles to Piers Morgan in BBC1’s You Can’t Fire Me I’m Famous.

In her first TV interview since the spat with Shilpa Shetty in the house, Jade says: "I had bad depression. I was on sleeping pills and on suicide watch.

"It’s the worst thing a mother can say, ’There’s no hope’. But I snapped out of that quickly because I’ve got kids and they are my life."

Jade admits that she has struggled to find work since the show aired in January, and that she worries about paying the bills.

She adds: "I’m not doing this to be back in magazines or TV. But I’ve got a mortgage and bills to be paid."

Jade says that she might have got her temper from her mum, saying: "You learn from your parents. Mine weren’t the best."

The show is on BBC1 at 10.35pm, Tuesday July 31.

Church Reassures Jade - July 10 2007
The Church of England has moved to reassure Jade Goody after she expressed fears that a recent miscarriage was "God’s punishment" for her behaviour.

The star was 12 weeks pregnant when she lost the baby she was expecting with boyfriend Jack Tweed.

It came months after the Celebrity Big Brother race row which saw her vilified for her treatment of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

"After the miscarriage I did ask: ’Why is all this happening?’ I thought it was God’s punishment for something I’d done," Jade, 26, told Closer magazine.  But her comments prompted a response from the Bishop of Croydon.

The Rt Revd Nick Baines issued a statement saying: "Jade Goody can be sure that losing her baby wasn’t a punishment from God.  "God doesn’t punish people. He stands by them and shares in their suffering as we see in Jesus Christ."
