After making his catwalk debut at Milan Fashion Week earlier this year, Bobby Brazier has revealed all about how he got his start as a model.

The 16 year old, whose parents are Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, opened up about his career in a Q&A with fans on Instagram and admitted it all started after he got in trouble in school.

When asked, “How’d you get into modelling?”, Bobby explained how a meeting at school with dad Jeff led to a chance meeting with a model scout.

He answered, “Jokes story. I was in trouble at school and had to go in for a meeting.

“So before I go, I go to Costa for a little prep talk with my dad 😂 and then when we leave @cesarperin is chasing me down the street asking me if I’m a model.”

Bobby was later signed to modelling agency Unsigned Group by the same scout, leading to his big break.

The teenager clearly takes his career seriously too as when asked what he would do “if modelling didn’t work out”, he confidently replied, “modelling will work out”.

That doesn’t mean he’s not thinking about trying other ventures though, as he revealed he could make a foray into acting.

After one fan asked, “Do you act?”, Bobby replied, “No. Probably will though, not gonna lie.”

After his appearance at Milan Fashion Week in January, Bobby made his London Fashion Week debut the following month.

While he wasn’t strutting down the runway this time, he was a guest at the Tommy Hilfiger show and showed off his model credentials by posing up a storm on the red carpet ahead of the glitzy after-party.

He was then pictured living his best life at swanky Mayfair nightclub Annabel’s, partying with the other VIPs in attendance, like Liam Payne and Brooklyn Beckham.

“Modelling has been great fun, I’m loving it, you get a chance to do something exciting. I’m modelling alongside my apprenticeship; I’m not sure if it will be full time yet, we will have to see how it goes,” Bobby told MailOnline last year.
