Tweed to be released from prison

12 April 2012

Jack Tweed will leave prison this week after serving half of a 12-week sentence for assaulting a taxi driver, it has been reported.

The 21-year-old widower of Big Brother star Jade Goody, was jailed on April 14 after attacking Stephen Wilkins following a night out in Epping, Essex, in May last year.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said he could not comment on individual cases, but a party has been organised for next Sunday by Tweed's business partner Mark Wright to mark his expected release.

A poster on the website of Faces nightclub in Gants Hill, Essex, states Jack Tweed's Relaunch Party is being held there.

The event is described as "Jack's first night out in over a year".

When he was sentenced, magistrates in Harlow, Essex, told Tweed they would have passed a longer sentence had it not been for his "change in personal circumstances".

He was on bail for an assault on a 16-year-old boy in December when he attacked Mr Wilkins.

He married mother-of-two Goody in February, a month before she succumbed to cancer.
