Max Clifford: Jack Tweed was fantastic with Jade Goody

Publicist has a lot of respect for Big Brother star’s husband

Jack Tweed and Jade Goody tied the knot in February 2008

Max Clifford has praised Jack Tweed over how he coped with Jade Goody's cancer.

The 21-year-old was at the Big Brother star’s bedside when she died on Mother's Day.

‘Jack has been completely devoted to her,’ Max tells This Morning. ‘The way that he has nursed her over the last couple of weeks did him great credit.

'He was always there for her - mopping her brow, cleaning her teeth, holding her hand and smiling whenever she woke up... which of course in the last few days was less and less.
 
‘For a 21-year-old to handle that the way he did, he's done himself proud. I was 60 when my wife died and I know how difficult it is to watch someone you love slowly fade away in front of you.

'But he handled that with great dignity and also compassion and it's quite remarkable and a real tribute to the lad.’

Jack, who is due to be sentenced for assault on Thursday, was seen having a Chinese meal with friends yesterday afternoon.
