Bobby Brazier paid tribute to his late mother Jade Goody on the 13th anniversary of her death on Tuesday.

Taking to Instagram, the 18-year-old shared a throwback photo of his mum alongside touching words about how "life is eternal".

Big Brother star Jade tragically died after a battle with cervical cancer aged 27, leaving behind her sons Bobby and Freddie, 17, with her ex-partner Jeff Brazier bringing them up.

Bobby penned: "There's birth and there's death but life is eternal. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

"She's left her human form. She's home.

"That's the way it goes. God bless her my nan and my brother."

The teenager shared a photo of Jade smiling and captioned it with three pink heart emojis.

Jade had been taking part in the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother when she received her devastating diagnosis

Doctors discovered a tangerine-sized tumour in her womb and told the star she had been suffering from cancer for the last two years.

Jade wanted to make as much money as possible for her two sons and worked right up until her death, securing TV interviews, pictures and her own reality show.

The mum-of-two was determined not to give up and told doctors to never tell her how serious the prognosis really was.

But doctors had no choice but to tell Jade she was dying as the cancer had spread to her liver, bowel and groin.

"I couldn't breathe when they told me. I just screamed and cried and said, 'can't anyone do anything to help me'," she revealed at the time.

Jade tragically died in her sleep in the early hours of March 22, after a gruelling year of chemotherapy and a hysterectomy and her death sparked a huge surge in women having smear tests.

Last year, Jeff spoke about how he's dealt with Mother's Day since Jade's death (Instagram)

Last year, Jeff spoke about how he's dealt with Mother's Day since Jade's death.

Speaking on his podcast Only Human, Jeff explained that he feels a sense of responsibility for helping the two navigate their grief on a day like Mother's Day.

"Talking about the subject has made me feel emotional," he said. "I've got two boys that are really going to be missing their mum today. They miss her every day.

"My vulnerability in this moment right now is that I, as a parent of two kids that lost their mum, I have got the responsibility on my shoulders of guiding them through the day.

"But then I remind myself that it's not on me, it's not on anyone really, it just is what it is."
