Since Jade Goody died a year ago, her husband Jack Tweed and mother Jackiey Budden have not exactly been bosom buddies.

But today the pair put their differences aside and shared a hug as they arrived at the memorial service for the reality star, held a day before the first anniversary of her death from cervical cancer.

The pair were joined by friends and family of 27-year-old Jade at F.A. Albin and Sons funeral directors in her home town of Bermondsey in London to mark the anniversary.

Tweed was only recently released from Pentonville prison, North London, after being jailed for breaching his parole conditions.

He was charged with the alleged rape of a 19-year-old girl at his home in South Woodford last September and is set to face trial for the alleged sexual assault later this month.

Jackiey, who was today pictured in a Sunday newspaper apparently snorting cocaine, has blasted Jack in the months following her daughter's death after he began living the bachelor lifestyle.

He had a one-night stand just a week after her death and was often seen inviting a host of girls back to his pad in Essex.

According to today's News of the World, 51-year-old Jackiey, who claims £91.70 a week in state benefits, spent this weekend on the Spanish island of Tenerife binge-drinking and snorting cocaine as she prepared to fly home for today's memorial service.

The newspaper printed stills from video footage allegedly showing Jackiey snorting the class A drug in a flat on the holiday island and reported that she went on a 16-hour binge, downing 14 large gin and tonics, two bottles of wine and two grams of cocaine

A source told the newspaper that Jackiey, who is believed to be staying in Tenerife with her boyfriend Aaron Woolhouse, 31, 'really wanted to go for a big blowout on Thursday'.

They added: 'She started knocking back drinks at lunchtime and despite being all over the place, slurring her words and high as a kite, she went right through the night.

'After the lunchtime drinking Jackiey wanted to go down to the main strip and carry on partying."

She is then believed to have asked a friend to drop her off two grams of cocaine for 90 euros (£81) at a karaoke bar just after midnight.

The source said: 'When she got back to the pub she had glazed eyes and was talking a lot. She was high and she became a bit of a handful.

'Jade must be turning in her grave. She begged her mum not to go back on the stuff.'

Meanwhile Jade's fears over her battle with cancer are to be shown in a documentary to mark the first anniversary of her death.

The reality TV star died aged 27 on Mother's Day last year after a very public battle with cervical cancer.

In an hour-long special entitled Jade: A Year Without Her, which airs on Living TV, she revealed that she was scared of dying but hoped her cancer battle would be an inspiration to other sufferers of the disease.

Jade recorded her fears about dying for the documentary, which will be broadcast tonight at 9pm, after insisting the footage be shown after her death.

Jade, who shot to fame on Channel 4's reality TV show Big Brother in 2002, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August 2008 and was told the news while she was on Big Boss, India's version of Big Brother.

In February 2009, she was told the cancer had spread to her liver, bowel and groin and was now terminal.

In tonight's documentary, Jade admitted that fighting the disease was 'the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with' because she had no control over anything.

She said: 'I take so many tablets every single day. I take three painkillers, my HRT, a depression tablet, a sickness tablet because I can't keep any food down, a sachet to help me go to the toilet.'

And she said she agreed to allow cameras to record her seven-month battle with cancer in the hope it would inspire other patients.

She said: 'The thing I'm most scared of is that I'm going to die. But I don’t want to just stop filming halfway through my hair falling out. What inspiration is that to anybody?

'I’m doing this for other people, other people are ­going through what I’m ­going through.

'I'm not the only person on the planet going through it.'

Jade's friends and family also appear on the documentary talking about her final moments before she passed away.

Her former partner, TV presenter Jeff Brazier, father of her two sons Bobby, six, and five-year-old Freddie, recalled the conversation they had when Jade revealed to him that her cancer was terminal.
Jeff, who now has full custody of the two boys, said: 'That phone call was unimaginably difficult.

'I remember naively thinking she’ll be fine because she always has been. It didn’t feel like it was her time or that it was going to happen to her.'

And he revealed that the boys are coping well without their mother, but are still very much grieving for her.

He said: 'A few weeks ago Freddie was sat on the stairs and just was crying so I rushed out there and he just screamed, "I’m missing Mummy".

'He’s gonna seem fine for ­periods of time but every now and again he might hit that emotional brick wall and need a good cuddle and a good cry.

'Bobby, however, is probably more likely to feel it’s somehow ­insensitive if he really cries about mum. Whenever we talk about mum he ­always smiles and gets involved in the conversation.

'I think Jade would be happy with how the boys are doing.'

Jade's family yesterday unveiled a new headstone to mark her grave in Upshire, Essex, which replaces a simple wooden cross and was today covered in flowers and cards left by her friends, family and fans.

Jade's mother Jackiey Budden also appears on tonight's documentary and reveals that she thinks about her daughter every day.

She said: 'There's so much I wish I could say to Jade. Not a day goes past that I don't cry - not just for me but for the boys, who lost a loving and dedicated mum.'
