Jack Tweed has hit back at his late wife's mother Jackiey Budden, accusing her of cashing in on the death of her daughter.

Budden recently launched an attack on Tweed after attempting to communicate with Jade Goody with the help of a TV psychic.

Commenting on her son-in-law's rumoured one-night stands, she claimed: "Most of the men Jade has ever been with have sold her out. The only difference with Jack is that he waited till she was dead."

Club promoter Tweed, 22, has now responded to the criticism, insisting that Budden is in no position to pass judgement on him.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he explained: "She has said all this as though she is Mrs Perfect herself when we all know her past and when we all know that she has swanned off to Tenerife and left her grandsons here.

"I don't want to get into it because I could talk about Jackiey all day. Jackiey is simply after the money, I don't doubt that."

He added: "This is Jackiey we're talking about, she sees a lot of things in her head. I don't want to slag her off because everything is a bit raw but I feel a bit let down. It's very hard to take when you read that someone doesn't think very highly of you.

"She has said some pretty nasty things about me. It's not fair. I am starting to get fed up of reading her rants."

After chatting to reporters outside his new home in Woodford Green, Essex, Tweed said goodbye to three girls who had stayed the night. His agent later claimed that one was his cousin and the other two were friends.

The spokesman told The Sun: "They slept in spare rooms. There's nothing untoward going on."
