London, Aug 7 : Jade Goody''s widower Jack Tweed says that he has hit the bottle to cope with the death of his wife.

Tweed has had a string of sleazy drink-fuelled scandals since his Big Brother star bride died from cancer in March.

However, the 22-year-old claims that he is drinking to mask his pain over the loss of Goody.

“I don’t really know how I’m bearing up at the moment. I’m drinking quite a lot, which I shouldn’t be,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

“I’ve got to go and see someone or I’ve got to stop.

“It makes me forget about everything when I have a drink. I sit there and think about Jade non-stop,” he added. (ANI)
