Jade Goody’s son Bobby Brazier has paid tribute to his late mother on what would have been her 39th birthday on Friday.
The model, 16, shared an old image of his mum dressed in a silk ballgown, wearing a tiara while tucking into a cone of chips on his Instagram Stories.
In the snap, Jade was laden with jewels and wore a dazzling necklace and a selection of sparkling bracelets over her white satin gloves.
‘Legends never die’ Jade Goody’s son Bobby Brazier has paid tribute to his late mother on what would have been her 39th birthday on Friday
On the photograph he wrote the words ‘always kept in 100’ and ‘legends never die’, as he honoured his mother on her birthday.
Bobby, whose dad is TV personality Jeff Brazier, was just five when his mum died following a battle with cervical cancer in 2009.
Bobby has been documenting his time in lockdown on social media and recently shared a sweet photo of his brother Freddie, calling him his ‘best mate’.
The teenager signed to top modelling agency Unsigned Group last year and has walked for the likes of Dolce And Gabbana and worked with Tommy Hilfiger.

Jeff previously told The Sun: ‘He’s signed up with a model agency because he had quite a few that wanted to take him on.
‘I know he’s quite sort of hopeful for what that might bring, and basically it just seems like there’s a few opportunities available to him.’
Bobby recently revealed that his modelling career began when he got into trouble at school, which led to a fateful meeting with an agency scout.
During an Instagram Q&A session, the teen said it was a chance encounter with a model scout which kickstarted his journey into couture.

One fan asked: ‘How’d you get into modelling?’
Bobby replied: ‘Jokes story. I was in trouble at school and had to go in for a meeting.
‘So before I go, I go Costa for a little pep talk with my dad and then when we leave @cesarpin is chasing me down the street asking me if I’m a model.’
Cesar Perin is a model scout who signed Bobby up to talent agency Unsigned Group.
Previously speaking to MailOnline about his experiences in the modelling world, Bobby said: ‘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!’
It came after proud dad Jeff discussed how Bobby and Freddie, 14, had grown into ‘wonderful young men’ after adjusting to the trauma of their mother Jade’s death.
Jade passed away on Mother’s Day, 10 years ago, but was able to speak with Bobby and Freddie, who were just five and four years old at the time, before her death.
After her cervical cancer diagnosis, Jade’s cancer spread to her bowel, liver and groin and she died on Mother’s Day in March 2009.
Speaking to Barrow-in-Furness based paper The Mail, Jeff said the last 10 years had been ‘tremendously difficult – that’s the only way I can really put it. There’s been ups and downs, but we’ve come through it together.’
The star – who wasn’t in a relationship with Jade at the time of her passing – went on that to say that his sons were ‘coming of age’ and ‘have grown into wonderful young men. I’m hugely proud of them.’
