Jade Goody’s widower Jack Tweed pays heartbreaking tribute to star 13 years after her tragic death
JADE Goody's widower Jack Tweed has paid a heartbreaking tribute to the star to mark 13 years since her tragic death.
The TV personality took to Instagram with a number of photographs of himself and late wife Jade, who passed away in 2009.
Jack, 34, shared a snap from the couples' big day, showing him putting the wedding ring on Jade's finger just days before her death.
"13 years since I last got to see this angel," he wrote over the emotional photo, adding: "Miss you every day #raiseawareness #smeartest."
He followed up with a snap of the pair smiling for the cameras on a red carpet, as Jack gushed over how his late wife was "always smiling".
A third snap saw the couple enjoying a day out together in London, sharing a romantic kiss as they walked arm in arm out shopping.
The photo saw Big Brother star Jade, who tragically passed away from cervical cancer 13 years ago, carrying a number of shopping bags.
Jade died just days after the glamorous wedding - only seven months after being diagnosed with the deadly cancer.

Jack was 21 when he married the reality star, then 27, and took on her sons she shared with Jeff Brazier, who were just eight and seven.
Since Jade's tragic death, Jeff, 42, has brought up Bobby and Freddy with the help of family and his wife Kate Dwyer.
Last year, Jack opened up about how he still "struggles to live without Jade" after finding himself in a deep depression following her death.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “I didn't know how to deal with it when I was young. I didn't know what else to do.
“All I could think about was how depressed I was and I would just sit there and just constantly think about Jade. So I’d just have a drink every day, it would go from there.
“Then I’d get pictured having a drink and people would think I don't care about anything."
While his family did their best to support him by encouraging him to seek counselling, Jack admits he ignored their advice and lost control.
“I’d just sit at home, think about Jade, start crying and then think the only thing to do was go out and drink vodka," he said. “I wish I didn't do that and I wish I dealt with it a different way.
“I went through a stage where I got really, really depressed. I was just blocking everything. I got to the stage where I was just so, so depressed and down and I just didn't know what to do with my life and I went to see my mum.
“I sat down with my mum for about four hours, just crying, thinking I just didn't want to be here anymore. I just wanted everything to end.
“I just didn't have any energy. All I could think about was committing suicide. I just wanted to just go asleep and not wake up."
Thankfully, daily talks with his mum and anti-depressant medication helped his outlook improve, helping Jack cure his depression.

Jack also opened up last year about how he was desperate to see Jade's kids because "he brought them up" like his own children.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he says he felt betrayed by their dad Jeff Brazier when he was cut out their lives after Jade died 13 years ago.
