Jade Goody’s widower, Jack Tweed, has been jailed for twelve weeks for assaulting a taxi driver.

Jack was found guilty in court last month of attacking Stephen Wilkins. However his lawyer argued that as the incident occurred almost three years ago when Tweed was barely eighteen, he had matured immensely since the attack.

Margaret Webb, chairman of the magistrates, told Tweed the bench had considered his “change in personal circumstances” in passing the sentence.

She said: “We have borne in mind the recent change in your personal circumstances and have reflected this in the length of the sentence, which would otherwise have been 18 weeks.”
