Goody's lover to get early jail release

Jade Goody's boyfriend Jack Tweed is to be released from prison early, according to a report.

Tweed was sentenced to 18 months behind bars in September after being found guilty of assaulting a teenager with a golf club.

The 21-year-old is now expected to be freed in a week's time after agreeing to comply with a strict curfew and wear an electronic tag. Goody, who is currently fighting cervical cancer, is believed to be thrilled by the news.

A source told the News Of The World: "Jade can't wait for Jack to get out - nor can her two boys. It's been really hard for her, fighting the cancer and looking after the kids. Having him back will really help."

Goody has reportedly lost her hair after undergoing chemotherapy treatment in recent months.
