Jade Goody’s final wish for sons Freddie and Bobby Brazier ‘wasn’t granted’ claims ex

Jade Goody's husband Jack Tweed revealed that she would be 'heartbroken'

Jade Goody's husband has opened up about her last wish for her sons, Bobby and Freddie, that didn't come true.

It's been 15 years since Jack Tweed lost his wife Jade Goody to cervical cancer in 2009, just a month after the pair tied the knot.

He was just 21 at the time of the tragedy, and admitted in a recent interview that he has only just 'accepted' what happened.

Jade's fight against cancer came to an end on March 22 2009, when her little boys, Freddie and Bobby Brazier were just four and five-years-old.

In the interview with The Sun, he said: "It would have broken Jade if she'd known. She'd be devastated.

"I've never been able to get my head around it - the person's dead."

According to her husband, Jade wanted her boys to receive a private education, after saving up enough money throughout her career after Big Brother in order for them to do so.

The deals she landed included £1 million from OK! magazine, for full exclusive coverage of her wedding to Jack.

However, by 2011, pretty much the entirety of her wealth had been spent clearing debts.

It turns out that the star owed £1.8 million, after it was made known that she had not paid income tax for four years prior to her death.

Jack added: "I didn't take a penny from her. Nothing.

"She was lying in the hospital bed trying to buy me a flat. I told her no.

"She wanted to make sure I was alright. She knew I was young.

"She knew I loved her to absolute pieces.

"And she knew if she wasn't there I wouldn't know what to do."

But it seems as though Jack has now been able to begin to move on and accept what happened in his very early twenties, as he shared he is now due to be a dad for the first time.

His long-term girlfriend Ellis Sargeant is currently eight weeks pregnant, and the pair are very happy.

But the happiness is also tinged, as Jack reflected on a miscarriage he and Jade went through during their relationship.

He said: "Obviously that was horrible, because I obviously loved Jade to absolute pieces, and I was so excited we were having a kid together."

Despite the tragedy, he is looking to move forward and enjoy this new chapter of life.

He added: "I've always wanted kids. I am so excited.

"I've always felt guilty, but now I finally, I think, I've accepted it, and I don't feel that guilt anymore, really, about it.

"I feel like it's acceptable to move on, and I think she'd want the same thing as well."
