Jack Tweed will be able to go to Jade Goody's funeral after his court date for sentencing over an assault was put back.

The husband of the late reality TV star was due in court on Thursday and faced the possibility of jail for attacking a taxi driver.

But the date has now been changed to April 16, meaning he can attend the funeral, which is due to take place in Buckhurst Hill, Essex on Saturday, April 4.

Tweed, 21, was found guilty of assault by magistrates in Epping, Essex, early in March.
The court was told Tweed, who denied any offence, attacked Stephen Wilkins after being driven from a nightclub in Epping in May 2008.

Magistrates said they were considering a jail term and adjourned sentencing until March 26.
Court officials said the hearing had been adjourned once more, following Goody's death.
The pair tied the knot in February. She died aged 27 last Sunday, on Mother's Day, after a battle with cancer.

Their marriage could have saved her two sons an inheritance tax bill of more than £1m, an expert has said.

Had they not married last month, her estate, estimated at £3m, would have probably been passed directly into trust for her sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.

Goody earned about £1m in the months before she died, insisting that she wanted the money to go to her sons so they could enjoy the upbringing she never had.

But according to Andrew Kirby, a senior trust and tax manager at Moore Blatch Solicitors, her marriage to Tweed could have saved that sum alone by avoiding inheritance tax.
If Goody had not wed Tweed, Freddie and Bobby's trust would been liable to 40% tax on more than £2.68m of her estate, landing it with a bill of £1,075,000.
