It’s been a long journey for Jack to get here are battling with drink and drugs in the years following Jade’s death from cervical cancer in 2009.
Jack and Jade were going to have their own child – but Jade, who had children Bobby and Freddie from her relationship with Jeff Brazier – tragically had a miscarriage.
Not long after she fell ill and the couple, who married shortly before she died, were unable to fulfil their dreams of completing their family.
But Jack is now ready for his next chapter, telling us: “I’ve always felt guilty all my life about it, even talking to other girls and stuff like that.

“I’ve always felt guilty, but now I finally I think I’ve accepted it, and I don’t feel that guilt anymore, really, about it.
“I feel like it’s acceptable to move on, and I think she’d want the same thing as well,” he explained.
“I know she’d want the same thing as well.”
Jack finds it hard to imagine how Jade would have reacted to the news, because he believes they would still be together today.
But he says: “I think she’d be buzzing.
“When she was going through what she was going through, she was trying to tell me – she was like lying in the hospital saying, ‘I really want you to move on. Don’t think that you can ever not move on’.
“But obviously at that time I was like, please, let’s not talk about that. Don’t be silly.
“I didn’t want to talk about her not being here because in my head I was always – there was always a tiny bit of hope that she wouldn’t actually pass away.”
What Jack does know though is that Jade thought he was an amazing dad, he says she wanted him to adopt Bobby and Freddie and was desperate for them to have a family of their own.

Electrician Jack is now looking forward to concentrating on parenthood after battling his daemons in his twenties as he came to terms with Jade’s death.
At his lowest, Jack turned to drink and drugs but has now turned his life around and he’s ready for his next chapter.
“I think just everything about me has sort of grown up. Like when you’re younger you care what a lot of people think, and think I don’t want to do that because everyone’s going to think I’m an a****hole and feel like I’m doing something wrong on Jade,” he shared.

“But you finally just get past everything, don’t you? And just I need to make myself happy. I can’t just keep shutting myself away from everyone.”
He added: “I just want to be the best dad that I can be now.”
How to protect yourself against cervical cancer
CERVICAL cancer is most commonly diagnosed in women in their early 30s, with around 3,200 new cases and 850 deaths each year in the UK.
According to CRUK, the five-year survival rate is around 70 per cent – and the earlier it is caught, the better.
Cervical screening programmes and HPV vaccines have reduced rates and save 4,000 lives each year.
It is vital you attend your smear test and get jabbed when invited, and that you know the symptoms of cervical cancer to look out for.
These aren’t always obvious, and they may not become noticeable until the cancer has reached an advanced stage.
But you might notice:
Unusual bleeding (often after sex, between periods, or after the menopause)
Pain and discomfort during sex
Vaginal discharge (often unpleasant smelling)
Pain in your lower back, between your hip bones or in your lower tummy
Women are invited to have regular cervical screenings between the ages of 25 and 64. How often depends on your age.
The HPV vaccine, which helps protect against the virus, is recommended for children aged 12 to 13 and people at higher risk from HPV.

Jemele Hill has a serious issue with Caitlin Clark, but it’s not from something she did or said, but from the media who covers her.
Caitlin Clark, the Iowa Hawkeyes superstar, is the biggest name in women’s college basketball over the past few years and it’s not even close. She has been billed as the female Stephen Curry and draws eyes to her just like him.
Not only do fans flock to see her, but the media coverage of her is insane, which is a problem for Jemele Hill.
The former ESPN host is arguing that the media covers white players like Caitlin Clark much more differently than they do with Black players.
“Everything about this sport has been trending up for years now. It did not just start with Caitlin Clark,” Hill said in an interview with Uproxx.
“A study I cited recently for a piece I wrote in The Atlantic [found that] when you compare [the coverage] of, say, someone like (Paige) Bueckers, Sabrina Ionescu, or Caitlin Clark to A’ja Wilson, who has dominated basketball at every single level. She’s probably the best player in the world right now. And I’m not trying to act like she gets no coverage, but the coverage that sometimes non-white women get, or specifically Black women get, is not even close. It’s two-to-one,” Hill added.
Hill further added that A’ja Wilson, arguably the best player in the world, deserved more coverage than what Caitlin Clark is getting right now.

“I mean, Aliyah Boston was the best player in college just a couple of years ago. And she did not get even a 10th of this media coverage that Caitlin Clark did. Now, some people would say, ‘Oh, it’s her game.’ But I don’t think it was that. She’s tremendous on television, and I’m thinking, What a missed opportunity for the national media to really elevate who she was as a person. Caitlin Clark seems to be a great personality, but it is not like Caitlin Clark is walking around saying crazy stuff. They’re just covering her excellence, and that’s good enough. Whereas it feels like for Black athletes to get the same amount of coverage or even fair coverage, there has to be something extra [beyond basketball].”
Clark is having a fabulous run with the No. 1-seeded Iowa in her senior year. The superstar guard has broken several NCAA records as she looks to add a National Championship to her resume before she departs to the WNBA after the year.
Despite what Jemele Hill may think, Clark will not only be etched in college basketball history for her incredible scoring feats but also for her overall impact on the women’s game.

Caitlin Clark is a ratings and attendance darling in college, and she can bring that excitement surrounding her to the WNBA and that is a good thing for everyone.
Not only can she be a draw for her home fans, but also for other fan bases on the road. The WNA is already trending upward and Clark will only help it go to even bigger heights with her presence.
Everyone should be rooting that she turns out to be the WNBA version of Stephen Curry.
Joy Taylor Gets Destroyed After Shamelessly Lying About Caitlin Clark

FS1’s Joy Tayor got destroyed online following what turned out to be an unpopular take.
Taylor was discussing Caitlin Clark during ‘Speak’ this week when she claimed no one was talking about the former Iowa star before the 2023 national championship game, adding Angel Reese’s taunts are what actually made her famous.
“We were not talking about Caitlin Clark before Angel Reese walked up to her, did this [waving her hand], and pointed to the ring,” she said.
“This is not my opinion. I lived it. I watched it. It was recorded, it was broadcasted live. We were not talking about Caitlin Clark before that moment, and that’s OK. You can be extremely talented and not interesting.”
Of course, Reese is doing her part for women’s basketball, and her antics gave both players more coverage than they probably would have gotten otherwise.
But Clark was pretty well known before that 2023 loss. She had already grabbed the headlines with a 41-point performance against South Carolina in the Final Four that year.
Fans Ripped Joy Taylor Over Her Odd Caitlin Clark Take
Fans were pretty quick to call Taylor out.
“Sports analysts saying they didn’t know who CC was before the 23 chip is extremely damning on sports media,” one said. “This does not say what she thinks it does.”
“This is simply not true,” another added. “If you weren’t paying attention to women’s college hoops say that instead.”
“We’re not blatantly lying. Caitlin was HER before the Natty Game and everyone knew about her before the Natty Game. Don’t do that,” said a third.
Another pointed to an interview she had with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith in 2022.
Doesn’t look like Joy Taylor did her homework on that one.
