It was revealed this morning that Jack Tweed will give away or auction off his late wife Jade's clothes, with all the proceeds going to charity. Jade is said to have talked about what she wanted to do with her stuff before she died and, aside from a few treasured possessions, she wanted the rest given away to a good cause. Jack has told pals that he will either give away her clothes to Cancer Research charity shops, or auction them off to raise money for Marie Curie nurses. A family friend confirmed this morning, "She [Jade] told Jack to give it away or sell it – as long as the money went to a good cause. He is trying to look forward now. Clearing the house fills him with dread, but he knows it's the first step towards closure." Meanwhile, well-wishers continue to flood to Jade's home to lay flowers, while even more wait patiently to sign the remembrance book. Shilpa Shetty yesterday described Jade as the "architect of my fame" and told Richard and Judy that she was glad the two of them were able to repair their friendship before the end. "Her coming back into my life was meant to happen," she said. "I'm so glad that happened, as I'd never have been able to forgive myself."
