Reality television star Jack Tweed has been cleared of a rape charge at Snaresbrook Crown Court today.

According to Digital Spy, the 22-year-old said that he wants to "rebuild" his life, now that the case is over.

Today both Tweed and his friend Anthony Davis were cleared of the alleged rape of a 19-year-old girl in September of last year.

In a statement, read by solicitor Philip Smith, Tweed said: "I'm relieved that the jury have taken a matter of minutes to see through these scurrilous and completely groundless allegations."

"I now want to put the last eight months behind me and rebuild my life as a 22-year-old young man."

Tweed shot to fame when he appeared in a series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' with his late wife, Jade Goody.
