Reality TV star Jade Goody's clothes will be auctioned by her widower Jack Tweed to raise money for cancer charities.Goody had died last Sunday after battling cervical cancer in the public eye in a bid to raise awareness about the disease.
Twenty one-year-old Tweed married the 27-year-old reality star weeks before her death and plans to clear out his wife's house after her funeral on April 4.
The part time model will keep some of Goody's prized possessions but her clothes will either be donated to Cancer Research charity shops or sold off to raise money for Marie Curie nurses, reported Sun online.
A family friend told the newspaper, "Jack said he and Jade talked about what to do with her stuff when she was gone. She told him to give it away to shops or sell it, as long as the money went to a good cause.
"Obviously he wants to help with cancer charities and is looking to hold some sort of auction. He is trying to look forward now. Clearing the house fills him with dread but he knows it is the first step toward closure," the source added.
Earlier it was reported that Tweed had decided to get a tattoo as per his wife's last wish reading 'call me and I will answer'.

The death of such a young woman and mother would be heartbreaking at any time.But Jade Goody's death carries a special poignancy to it - coming as it did on Mother's Day.All thoughts are now turning to her two sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four - but they were always first in Jade's mind.
As she clung to life yesterday her new husband Jack Tweed left her bedside to buy a moving Mother's Day card.It carried the message: 'A mum is like a tea bag; only in hot water do you realise how strong she is.' A teacup on the card bore the message: 'Love you, Jade'.
It is not known whether Jade, or her mother Jackiey, was to receive the card; it would have been equally suitable for both.For the last few weeks Jackiey has barely left her daughter's side; while mother-of-two Jade defied expectations to cling to life for as long as she did.
Jade's young sons gave her handmade cards to mark Mothering Sunday last weekend, after doctors advised she was close to death.The cancer-stricken reality TV star defied expectations, determined to spend precious extra minutes with her family.
At Jade's request the youngsters spent the last couple of weeks with their father Jeff Brazier.

Jade Goody's Last Goodbye

Tragic Jade Goody amazed family and friends by laughing and joking her way through an emotional christening for her boys, before saying a heartbreaking last goodbye.
Jade, 27, refused to shed a tear during the 20-minute ceremony before 30 friends and family members despite knowing it was a final farewell for many of them before she dies, reports mirror.co.uk. And afterwards the father of her two children, Jeff Brazier, 29, took her hand and vowed he will take care of them when she's gone.
During a heart-to-heart at her hospital bedside as their boys played on the floor beside them, he told her: "I promise I'll look after the kids no matter what."
Plans for a christening in a church had to be rearranged when Jade's condition worsened. TV host Jeff has been caring for Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4, all week as Jade did not want them to see her in such pain. But in a hospital gown and looking frail, she summoned the strength to get out of her wheelchair and fulfill her dying wish to be baptised alongside them.
She managed to get through the service even though she faces the final days of her cancer battle. Defying agonising pain, Jade made Bobby sit on her lap and had Freddie next to her during the ceremony at the chapel of the Royal Marsden Hospital, London. She hugged them and held hands with husband Jack Tweed, 21.
A friend said: "When Jade got there and saw the boys on the front pew her eyes were sparkling - but there were no tears because she was determined not to cry. The boys' faces lit up and they were beaming when she walked in - they hadn't seen her for over a week. She couldn't stop kissing them.”
"She made a sterling effort - the last thing she wanted to do was upset them. She wanted it to be a happy occasion and was even joking and giggling with them because they didn't want to get wet from the baptism."
The friend added: "Jade had a little make-up on for the occasion but not much. She clearly made a big effort. She had a smile and a kiss for everyone - but it was clearly her last goodbye to many of them."

Goody (27), who has two young sons, Bobby (5) and Freddie (4), has reportedly not been able to see them since the operation, though Clifford said they would be reunited "as soon as she's well enough".
Meanwhile, newly wed Goody's husband Jack Tweed has been allowed to visit her in hospital while her sons are being taken care of by their father, TV presenter Jeff Brazier.
Goody, who is suffering from terminal cervical cancer is also planning to be baptised in her bed along with her two children, as she wants to stay in touch with them even after death.

Reality star Jade Goody's cancer has now spread to her brain as she was operated to help relieve the 'terrible pain' in her stomach and remove a blockage in her bowel.
The terminal disease, which affected Big Brother star's cervix last year, has now spread to her liver, groin and bowel.
"Jade was told while in a hospice at the weekend that the cancer was travelling freely in her blood and had spread to her brain," a close friend of the star told the Sun.
The cancer on reaching the brain can show symptoms like frequent fits, excruciating headaches, vomiting and nausea.
"This is, of course, awful but not unexpected. It hasn't shortened her life expectancy, which remains in weeks. But of course it is another extremely painful reminder of what lies ahead.
"Jade still wants to go home, but won't until she can be given the correct medication to make her condition bearable. She doesn't want to see her kids upset," according to her agent.
The 27-year-old Goody was transferred in the morning from London's Royal Marsden to the nearby Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for surgery.
