London, March 31 : Jade Goody's hubby has revealed that his late wife cradled their "imaginary baby" before loosing her battle with cancer.

Widower Jack Tweed had missed the chance to become a father when Jade had a miscarriage just 12 weeks into her pregnancy two years ago.

The 21-year-old said that Jade, who died of cervical cancer on March 22, tried to fulfil their dreams of having a child together with a pretend baby.

"Jade cradled our imaginary baby before she died," the Daily Star quoted him as telling OK! magazine.

Speaking of Jack, a pal added: "Jack loves Jade's boys as his own but she was desperate to have a baby with him. But it was not going to happen. So she joked about their imaginary baby and used to hug it in her sick bed. It was a comfort. It made her feel she was sealing the marriage."

Jack will reportedly pay a personal tribute to his late better half with a touching ode at her funeral at St John's Church, Buckhurst Hill, Essex on April 4. (ANI)
