Jade Goody is looking pretty chunky since being reunited with lover Jack Tweed.

'I’ve put on so much weight, it’s horrific,' she says. 'I’m nearly 12st. It’s the fattest I’ve ever been.’

In the past the BB star, 26, has tried diet pills, with disastrous results - so she doesn't want any 'miracle' short-cuts to slimming down again.

‘Jade and Jack are having a great time on holiday [in Abu Dhabi],' says a friend, 'so she doesn’t want to spoil it by being boring about food.'
