Jade's mum reveals new love

Jackiey Budden

Jade Goody's mum says her daughter would be surprised she has fallen in love with a man.

Jackiey Budden, who has spent 25 years as a lesbian, is now starting a new life with former soldier Jason Cooper in Tenerife.

The couple met when Jackiey escaped from the UK to holiday in Los Cristianos after losing her daughter to cancer.

Speaking to The Sun she said: "I know Jade would be 100% behind this.

"She was always scared I'd be alone – she doesn't need to be scared now."

Jason, who is 15 years Jackiey’s junior, said: "I hope this lasts for ever."

Jackiey added: "I know Jade would be as surprised as anyone I've found happiness with a man, but she always said, 'Man or woman, I want you to be happy'."

The couple have now lived together for six weeks in a ground-floor apartment in the resort.

Speaking about their future Jackiey said: "I know I've found someone I can grow old with."
