Jeff Brazier treats sons to lunch after marking 13 years since Jade Goody's tragic death

Jeff Brazier treated his kids to a spot of lunch after the family paid an emotional tribute to Jade Goody 13 years after her tragic death.

The former Big Brother contestant died in 2009 aged just 27 following her short battle with cervical cancer.

Jade had a hysterectomy and a gruelling year of chemotherapy in a bid to fight the disease, but surgeons discovered her cancer had already spread and there was nothing more they could do.

She had tied the knot with Jack Tweed weeks before her death.

Jade shared children Freddie, now 17, and Bobby, now 18, with her ex-partner Jeff and they paid their respects to their mum on social media on Tuesday as they shared a snap of her.

Eldest son Bobby shared a photo of Jade smiling and captioned it with three pink heart emojis. In a follow-up post he wrote: "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."

Jack Tweed also paid tribute to his late wife Jade on Instagram as the 34-year-old uploaded an image from their wedding and one of them at a press event.

Jack wrote: "13 years since I last got to see this angel. Miss you everyday. Keep smiling. #raiseawareness #smeartest."

Later in the day Jeff, 42, joined his sons for a bite to eat and appeared to help put a smile on their faces.

The trio enjoyed the sunshine as they ate their food al fresco at a cafe.

Jeff has previously praised his kids for the way they have dealt with their mother's death.

Speaking to The Sun in 2020, the TV presenter said with pride: "My gosh, they are just so resilient. Of course they were so young when she died and it pains me to think they never knew Jade in the same way we all did.

"When Bobby landed his first fashion magazine cover [for Man About Town] he said he hoped his mum was looking down on him and smiling. And I’m sure she was.

"When I look at Bobby and Freddie I see their mother’s colourful personality shining through. I mean, Jade was one of the biggest characters out there and the boys have both inherited that from her."
