Jade Goody's fiance Jack Tweed has said that he would "rather do life in prison" than live without her.

Jack, 21, said a "big white wedding" was all Jade had ever hoped for, and the joy of their engagement helped relieve her suffering for a while.

Speaking about the moment he popped the question, Jack told OK! magazine: "She seemed really happy. For a moment we forgot about all her pain.

"After what the doctors told us last week we both realised we wanted to get married right away.

Jack is currently under nightly curfew after being released from prison following a sentence for assault, and he said leaving her bedside every day was agonising.

"I hate thinking of her going through all this by herself. But I can't change that. But she knows I love her and would be there if I could."

He said the pain of being separated from Jade while he was in prison confirmed that he wanted to be with her.

"It is hard to see the one you love so much look so ill," he said, "but it still feels the same when I kiss her, I still fancy her. There's nothing different.

"If she died it would kill me. I'd rather do life in prison than live without Jade."
