Jade Goody's Marriage Probed After Olivia Attwood's Sham
7 Apr
Summary
- TV productions investigate validity of televised weddings.
- Jade Goody's 2009 marriage faces scrutiny due to a recent scandal.
- The probe aims to ensure broadcasted ceremonies are legally binding.

Independent production companies have launched a probe into the validity of televised weddings, including the 2009 marriage of the late Jade Goody. This investigation was prompted by recent revelations that Olivia Attwood's 2023 'marriage' to Bradley Dack was not legally binding, despite being filmed for a reality show.
Granada Media North, involved in filming Jade Goody's wedding, is reportedly concerned about being implicated in a 'fake wedding' scandal. They are examining the circumstances of Jade's nuptials to Jack Tweed, who was 21 at the time, to ensure its legitimacy.
Jade Goody, who was diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer, married Jack Tweed in Essex. The ceremony was televised on Living TV and she had also sold exclusive rights to OK! Magazine. She passed away ten days after her wedding aired.
Sources suggest that production companies are re-evaluating their entire back catalogs of televised ceremonies. This move stems from a directive where celebrities were previously incentivized to get married or have a baby to secure television series commissions.
Olivia Attwood's ceremony at the Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge was reportedly not legally registered, despite the couple maintaining the illusion of marriage. This has caused significant concern for ITV, which had heavily invested in Attwood as a potential star.
Friends of Attwood claim that a wedding-certified venue was unavailable in time, and a registry office appointment was planned for later but never occurred due to undisclosed 'mistruths.' The couple had maintained the appearance of being married for years.
This scrutiny comes after Attwood was seen with a co-presenter shortly after announcing a 'divorce' from Dack. The situation has left ITV executives reportedly furious and uncertain about Attwood's future with the network.
