Jade Goody's now adult sons take part in walk to mark 14th anniversary of Big Brother star's death

Jade Goody’s sons Bobby and Freddie Brazier were spotted taking part in a walk to commemorate the anniversary of their mothers passing on Wednesday.

EastEnders actor Bobby, 19, and his brother Freddie, 18, took part in the thoughtful walk.

The walk took place in Piccadilly Circus in London, on 22 March to mark the 14th anniversary of their mum's death.

Jade was 27 when sadly died from cervical cancer in March 2009.

Bobby, who plays Freddie Slater in the BBC One soap, was seen holding a wooden statue of a Buddha at the walk, while his younger sibling followed closely behind him.

The 19-year-old soap star wrapped up warm in a brown fur coat and blue denim jeans, while Freddie sported a cream hoodie and dark trousers.

The brothers were aged just five and four when their beloved mother passed away in 2009. Freddie and Bobby were then raised by their father, TV presenter Jeff Brazier, 43.

Bobby has since opened up about losing his mum at such a young age, revealing he doesn't remember "a whole lot" about the Big Brother star and bases his memory of Jade on what others have told him about her.

Speaking to The Times, Bobby 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."

Model and actor Bobby also paid tribute to Jade on Instagram on the anniversary of her death, as he shared a string of new modelling snaps along with a touching caption.

The caption read: "Genes on his side, god in his heart and goody as his guide", seemingly making reference to his late mum's surname.

Fans of the Eastenders star quickly flocked to the comment section to extend their condolences to him, with many saying there is a strong resemblance between him and former Big Brother star Jade.

Bobby's on-screen co-star Jessie Wallace wrote: "Love you Bobby" on the sweet post.

One soap fan added: "Every time I see you on screen I see ur Mum. The resemblance is undeniable. Sure she is with you today and always".

Another follower wrote: "When I think of your mum, I think of daffodils. They just seemed to be more than usual just before and after she passed. Jade was such a beautiful soul and you definitely got the genes from her @bobbybrazier inside and out. Her spirit is with you and your brother today and always."
