'Twiglet' Tweed 'bulks up in prison'

Jack Tweed has reportedly been spending his hour of daily exercise time in the gym since he was jailed for assault earlier this week.

Jade Goody's widower was told that he was "an easy target" for aggressive inmates and is hoping to bulk up for protection, The Sun reports.

A source said: "Jack's new nickname is The Twiglet, or Twiglet Tweed.

"A lot of the inmates train in case the worst happens and they have to defend themselves, so he has asked one of the bigger guys if he will help him out in the gym."

They added: "He's always been skinny but that never bothered him until he went to Chelmsford the first time.

"Jack was a scared little boy, but now he's determined to shed his puny image. He's even asking what food he needs to be eating to bulk up. Unfortunately he isn't given many options in that regard."

Tweed was placed on the healthcare wing when he arrived at Chelmsford prison, but publicist Max Clifford denied he had requested a move there for protection.
