Inside the Jade Goody charity ball as her husband Jack Tweed helps raise thousands in her honour | The Sun
JACK Tweed has helped raise over £30,000 for charity by hosting a ball in honour of his late wife Jade Goody.
The incredible ball took place at the same venue where the pair married – Down Hall Hotel – and saw her family, friends and fans get together for the amazing cause.
Jack, who has been campaigning tirelessly to have the age of cervical screenings lowered since her death, made sure no detail was left unturned at the stunning bash.
In a touching tribute to their love, Jack organised having the exact same backdrop from their wedding at the venue, with the help of Venue Stylist.
Jade tragically passed away in 2009, leaving behind sons Bobby and Freddie, who she shared with ex Jeff Brazier.
Her death came just days after the glamorous wedding to Jack – only seven months after being diagnosed with the deadly cancer.

Making sure it was a night to remember, Towie star James Argent provided musical entertainment alongside Tony Roberts, rising star Chloe Barry and DJ Colin Francis.
Arg and Colin, who were close with Jade and remain great pals with Jack, had the crowd up on their feet with a series of tunes.
Guests were left gobsmacked as the waiters also brought some light relief and they burst into song.
Jade’s sons Bobby and Freddie were in attendance, alongside her mum Jackie and they all danced the night away amid the auction.
Bobby, who has just landed a coveted job on EastEnders, was seen doing the worn on the dance floor as the crowd cheered him on.
M and N management donated the majority of the auction items, including some sought after memorabilia while BB Social care sponsored the evening.
