Diamonds are for Goody: Super-wealthy prince gifts pal Jade £3m ring

In a league table of odd couples, Jade Goody and Prince Azim of Brunei would surely rank near the top.

She is most famous for causing a diplomatic row with her allegedly racist remarks on Celebrity Big Brother.

He is an international playboy who stands to inherit a share of the £20billion fortune of his father, the Sultan.

Yet the two are so close that he has given her a string of gifts including a diamond ring believed to be worth £3million.

The pair have been seen a number of times in London with her fiancé, Jack Tweed, in tow.

Miss Goody, 26, told the Mail: "I have become quite friendly with the Prince of Brunei. He wanted to meet me, we met and got on like a house on fire. He gave me a ring and it is huge, full of diamonds.

"He said, 'Take this'; I was like, 'I can't'. I haven't got it valued yet but he had one that was very similar and that is worth £3million."

Miss Goody said the prince also got on well with her fiancé, who appeared with her on Celebrity Big Brother in January.

"The prince is just an amazing friend," she added.

"We go round to his house, he's wicked. I have met so many people through him like Johnny Depp and Mariah Carey.

"So now I am going to America with someone who looks after Will Smith and Halle Berry and they have taken a real interest in me and I have got a lot of work lined up in America."

Miss Goody and Mr Tweed, 20, were recently seen with the prince in the back of his chauffeur-driven limousine.

At one point Miss Goody took hold of the playboy's face and, watched by her fiancé, leant in for a friendly kiss on the cheek.

Prince Azim is on intimate terms with a number of showbusiness stars including Miss Carey, to whom he also gave a £3million ring.

Michael Jackson appeared at his 25th birthday party this summer.

Jeff Allen, the prince's spokesman, said: "He met up with Jade a few times - once for dinner and another time to go to a club.

"They get on very well as they have the same sense of humour. They are looking into working on a few TV projects together in the U.S."

The prince is the second son of the Sultan and fourth in line to the throne of Brunei, a tiny independent state on the island of Borneo in South-East Asia.
