London, Sept 10 (ANI): Jade Goodys beau Jack Tweed has been transferred to a segregation cell after prison bullies threatened to kill him.

Tweed, 21, who is serving 18 months for assaulting a teenager at Chelmsford Prison in Essex, also has to listen to sick taunts of fellow prisoners about the former Big Brother stars cancer battle.

Now, bosses have moved him to an isolation unit, where he is being housed alongside rapists and paedophiles.

At first, Jack was moved into a normal cell on E Wing, but he soon became a target. Some seriously nasty blokes saw it as a chance to make a name for themselves. Jack was told that he would be beaten up and cut with knives, the Daily Star quoted an insider, as saying.

They also shouted appalling things about Jade and her battle against cancer. They called her an ugly slapper and worse.

It was horrible and very hurtful for Jack, as he is beside himself with worry, the insider added. (ANI)
