Jeff Brazier has publicly expressed his pride in his eldest son Bobby, after the 16-year-old landed his first job following his GCSEs earlier this year.
Jeff, who has brought his two sons up since the tragic death of their mum Jade Goody in 2009, took to his Instagram page to share Bobby's news. Sharing a snap of Bobby, Jeff wrote, 'A proud day 🥰 @bobbybrazier starts his apprenticeship having decided that he wants to spend the next two years learning on the job.
'So much progress has been made in such short time and I feel immensely satisfied knowing that he has all of the tools to go and develop at his own pace into whatever he wishes to become. #proudofyou #goodluck #enjoyyourself #growingup #becomingaman #adulthood #apprenticeship #schoolsout.' [sic]
Jeff later told his fans that Bobby will be doing his Apprenticeship in Digital Marketing, something he has taken an interest in over the years.
Jeff's fans and friends were quick to comment on the post, with many wishing the youngster luck in the world of work. One fan wrote, 'How Proud you must truly be Jeff, wish you every success Bobby, always give everything you can and it will come in success! Wishing you all The Best!'. [sic]
Another added, 'Good luck jade would be so proud of the young man today ❤️❤️❤️'. [sic]
A third then wrote, 'Such a beautiful boy and your a wonderful dad his mum would of been so proud wish we could just switch on that light so his beautiful mummy could be here today 😘'. [sic]
Jeff and his ex-girlfriend Jade welcomed their first son Bobby into the world back in 2003, with the pair later welcoming Freddie in 2004.
As documented in the recent Channel 4 show Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain, the former Big Brother star lost her battle with cervical cancer in 2009, leaving behind her two boys and her husband Jack Tweed.
Bobby and Freddie's dad Jeff recently revealed the boys often struggle to talk about their mum, telling the Daily Star Sunday, "It can be very confusing at times because where mum should be an easy conversation to bring up at this late stage, it actually becomes harder because teenagers don’t want to talk about things they’re emotionally invested in.
"We used to have a monthly discussion about mum, but now they’re almost resistant to it. I need to make sure they still talk about their mum and never forget about her."
