Mary Tweed: 'Jack is too trusting'

Mary Tweed has said that her son Jack was led astray by "hangers-on" after he moved house.

Jade Goody's widower was reported to have held sex parties at the Woodford Green house before he was later charged with rape.

Mary said: "Jack has a handful of good friends. But at Repton Park there were a lot of hangers-on turning up who wanted to party all the time and led him astray.

"I can't say my son's an angel. But the trouble with Jack is he's too trusting, and this is where he's come undone. I've warned him about women, too - to be careful. I tell him, 'You know what some of these girls are like'. And they follow him everywhere."

She added: "When he was at home with us, he couldn't sleep properly because he was grieving for Jade. He certainly never brought any girls back. No, no, I don't allow that. Never. I won't have it.

"The last thing he'd said to me before he was arrested was that he wanted to move out of his place and find somewhere 'more homely'. He told me, 'I've had enough'. He said there were too many people coming in and out and he really didn't want that."
