Jeff Brazier says son Bobby wants to try modelling in the future

People are always telling his eldest son to try modelling

Jeff Brazier has suggested his eldest son Bobby could try his hand at modelling when he is older.

The former Shipwrecked star, 39, told OK! magazine that people are always telling Bobby, 15, he would be a good model.

Bobby’s mum is Jeff’s late former girlfriend, Jade Goody.

When asked by OK! if Bobby and his younger brother Freddie, 13, have discovered girls yet, Jeff replied: “Not yet, but Bobby’s a handsome lad – they both are – and people say he should be a model.

“He’s 6ft 1in and he’s got some of his mum’s wonderful features, so it’s something he’d like to try in the future.”

Jeff has raised Bobby and Freddie as a single father, following Jade’s tragic death from cancer in 2009.

He’s also campaigned relentlessly to raise awareness of cancer and recognising early symptoms, while also training as a life coach and grief counsellor to help other families in the same situation.

The two boys will gain a stepmother later this summer when Jeff marries his fiancée Kate Dwyer.

Jeff and Kate, who became engaged last year in Ibiza, have been together for five years, since meeting when they were both in the Maldives for work.

Jeff has often spoken out about how wonderful Kate is with the boys and how much they like her.

Over the weekend, he shared photos showing Bobby and Freddie’s bond with Kate, telling Instagram followers: “To unlock my heart you have to capture all 3. This is essentially why I’ll be walking up the aisle with Kate.”

They’ve kept details of their big day under wraps, apart from teasing it will be somewhere hot this summer.

Bobby and Freddie will serve as joint best men, with Jeff previously telling Loose Women: “The thought of them giving a speech just makes me absolutely crumble.

“They’ll tell the truth! It will be beautiful. A lot of the time, as parents, we wonder what kids really think and we don’t really get the benefit of that until maybe an occasion like this.

“They’ll pull something out of the bag. It won’t be all deep and meaningful. I’m sure they’ll chuck a load at me!

“But those words will mean something.”

Jeff also praised Kate for her relationship with his sons, saying she’d been brilliant taking on the role of stepmum.

“Kate’s an incredible woman,” he said.

“She has a really wonderful relationship with both [boys] but different. With Freddie, he’s just hell-bent on having a stepmum. It really, really matters to him.

“It’s a massive responsibility for Kate but she’s been around us for over four years now.

“She’s perfect in that role.”

Jeff has also said he and Kate would love to have a child together.

“We will. That’s a definite. As to when, I suppose Kate is the boss on that one!” he said.

“I would love to experience having a daughter, actually. I would! I’ve heard it’s a different experience. I’ve always been a father of boys and I’d like to experience [having a daughter].”
