Jackiey Budden: I won't do a reading at Jade Goody's funeral

Big Brother star's mum says she'll be too emotional

Jade Goody's mum Jackiey Budden is being comforted by pals

Jade Goody's mum Jackiey Budden will not speak in church at her daughter's funeral. 

The 50-year-old has arranged the Big Brother star's service, which takes place on 4 April.

But Jackiey thinks she'd break down if she had to do a reading.

'All the readers have been chosen but I can tell you this, I will not be one of them,' she says.

'I have been so strong through all this, but I would just break down if I had to read.'

Jackiey has also been doing her best to lift the spirits of Jade's husband Jack Tweed, 21.

'I am being a husband and a mother at the moment because Jack is too weak,' she tells the Daily Star. 

Jade leaves behind sons Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4.
