Jack Tweed, the widower of reality TV star Jade Goody, raped a woman at his Essex home while his friend held the door shut, a court has been told.The 22-year-old is on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court for two counts of rape at his home in Repton Park, Woodford Green, on 4 September 2009.
Anthony Davis, 25, from Chigwell, is also accused of one count of rape.
The prosecution allege Mr Davis held the door shut and told Mr Tweed: "Do what you've got to do."
The pair met the then 19-year-old woman at a nightclub in London's West End on 4 September, the court was told.
Linda Strudwick, prosecuting, said the victim and her friends went to Mr Tweed's house after a night out at the Embassy club in Mayfair.
Victim 'frightened'
The victim was shy, sober and "made it plain to both defendants that she was not interested in them sexually", Ms Strudwick said.
But Davis pushed her into a bedroom and called for Tweed to join him, the court heard.
Ms Strudwick said: "Anthony Davis held the door shut, saying to Jack Tweed 'Don't worry Jack, I've got the door, do what you've got to do'."
Both men have denied the rape charges against them.
Mr Tweed married Big Brother star Jade Goody, 27, shortly before she lost her battle against cervical cancer in March 2009.
