Jade Goody's salon smiles

Jade Goody has opened a new men's beauty salon in Essex.

The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant - who is undergoing a gruelling course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy after being diagnosed with cervical cancer - put her troubles behind her as she smiled and laughed through the launch of the Homme Fatel salon in Loughton.

Mother-of-two Jade - who has been told she only has a 50 per cent chance of surviving - wore a colourful flowered dress with a bright headscarf as she proudly told customers she had "learned how to wax men's backs, sacks and cracks" for the opening.

Meanwhile, Jade, 27, has revealed she is desperate to rekindle her relationship with ex-boyfriend Jack Tweed - who is currently serving an 18-month sentence in Norfolk's Wayland Prison for assaulting a teenager n 2006 - but feels it would be unfair after she had a hysterectomy operation, meaning she can't have any more children.

She is quoted by Now magazine as saying: "Jack sent me a letter from prison saying he loved me and wanted to get back with me, which brought us closer. We've been together for 3 years and we have been through so much.

"I would love to spend the rest of my life with him. But how can I put him through this? I can't give him a family of his own - it breaks my heart. I wouldn't marry him in prison if he asked me now."
