Bobby Brazier pays tribute to mum Jade Goody after saying he 'doesn't miss her'

EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has subtly paid tribute to his late mum Jade Goody after heartbreakingly admitting he "doesn't miss her".

The young actor and model, 19, lost his mum when he was only five after the Big Brother star died from cervical cancer in 2009, aged 27.

Jade was a huge household name, having shot to fame on the Channel 4 reality show in 2002 before making a return five years later- where she hit headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The TV personality had two sons during her relationship with presenter Jeff Brazier, 43, before going their separate ways in 2004.

Following an inspiring battle with cervical cancer, Jade sadly passed away on 22 March 2009, which rather poignantly was also Mother's Day.

Bobby has since revealed he was too young to have any lasting memories of his mum.

Recalling what he remembered of Jade, he said: "Not a whole lot. Maybe memories of memories. I'm always being told about her and what she meant to people. I guess I know my mum through other people's memories of my mum."

When asked if he "misses" Jade, the teenager poignantly replied: "I don’t. Because I don’t feel like I was with her long enough to miss her."

Bobby took to Instagram to share his latest modelling photos, which he used to subtly pay tribute to his mum.

It was captioned: “Genes on his side, god in his heart and goody as his guide.”

The model was flooded with comments from supportive fans.

"Every time I see u on screen I see ur Mum. The resemblance is undeniable. Sure she is with u today and always," wrote one.

Another commented: "Goody as his guide [heart emojis] Beautiful [heart emoji]."

"Still breaks my heart when I think of your mums passing you were so young . Great to see you doing so well," added someone else.

A fan said: "You are a pleasure to watch on EastEnders keep being you, and your mum would be overwhelmingly proud xxx."

Prior to her death, Jade was determined to earn as much money as possible for her two young sons and their future.

She worked right up until her death, securing TV interviews, pictures and her own reality show.

Bobby, who lives with his father Jeff Brazier and younger brother Freddie, 18, has graced catwalks for huge fashion houses including Dolce and Gabbana.

He is now starring in EastEnders where he plays Freddie Slater.
