According to the News of the World, the 51-year-old admitted her belief in Tweed’s innocence while making remarks about members of her family, including her late daughter Jade Goody.
She declared: "He's not guilty."
Budden also criticised Tweed for having sex while apparently grieving for Goody, saying: "He's grieving and he's drinking but I can't understand him sex-wise. Don't grieve and tell me you're having sex, cause that don't work. He's 22, he got engaged beside her bed. He's only a child."
Jack Tweed has been remanded in custody since he was charged with rape.
