Text at 50mph not Goody

GRINNING Jade Goody writes a text message on her mobile — while driving at 50mph on a motorway sliproad.

The former Big Brother star, 25, even posed for a PHOTO as she whizzed along in her Porsche on the M5 with toyboy Jack Tweedy, 18.

And she flung her arms about and danced to show off to a carload of strangers driving alongside.

Passenger Matt Clifton, 30, who took the snap near Weston-super-Mare said: “She just wasn’t aware of the danger. She wasn’t looking at the road. We were doing at least 45 or 50mph.

“She seems great fun, but is not the sharpest tool in the box.”

Jade — who admitted last month she couldn’t spell her own name — texted as she drove back to London from Sunday’s T4 On The Beach concert.

Drivers face a fine up to £1,000 fine for using a hand-held phone. RAC spokesman Robin Cummins said: “It’s outrageous. She is supposed to be a role model. It is totally irresponsible.”

Jade has a history of car trouble. In January, she swerved her £60,000 Porsche Cayenne 4x4 into a ditch to avoid a deer.

She was snapped using her mobile at a filling station after she failed to find her car’s petrol cap.

And she forgot to up- grade her learner licence after passing her test on Celebrity Driving School.

“She seems great fun, but is not the sharpest tool in the box.”
