Jade Goody's son Bobby heartbreakingly says he 'doesn't miss' mum as they never developed a close bond

Jade Goody's son Bobby Brazier admits that he "doesn't miss" his late mum as he doesn't think he was with her "long enough" to develop a close bond.

Bobby, whose dad is former Shipwrecked star Jeff Brazier, is currently toying with the idea of whether to enter the world of celebrity as he gains success in his modelling career.

The 18-year-old has reflected on his memories with his late mum, admitting he misses what "could have been".

Jade, who tragically died in March 2009 at the age of 27 after a short fight with cervical cancer, could be the biggest star that ever emerged from Channel 4' s first major reality show Big Brother, reports OK! Magazine.

Budding model Bobby added his step-mum Kate stepped up to help raise him alongside his dad, revealing in a recent interview with The Face : "I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on a mum. It’s normal life to me.

"I’ve kind of spent more life without her than I did with her.”

Asked directly if he "misses" Jade, the teenager said: “I don’t. Because I don’t feel like I was with her long enough to miss her.”

Despite that, Bobby went on to tell the publication that he feels like the hand Jade and his family were dealt is "unfair".

“I miss what could’ve been. I hear all the time she was such a presence, that she was one of a kind," the star said. "What hurts most is that it wasn’t just losing anyone, it was losing Jade."

“I just would’ve loved to have seen what other people had seen," the model, who has worked for Italian brand Dolce and Gabbana, said sadly.

In her last days, Jade made sure that her beloved boys, Bobby and Freddy, would be provided for.

"I just want to carry on being to the boys and to myself normal and I'm quite naive with the whole cancer thingy," she told Phillip Schofield during an emotional interview on This Morning.

"I haven't done any research or anything and I don't want to know. I only know what I need to know, which is this is my medication and this is that, this is when I get better.

"I don't want to know the ins and outs and because it's too much for my brain to take it in. It really is."

Jade wanted to make as much money as possible for her two sons and worked right up until her death, securing TV interviews, pictures and her own reality show.

The mum-of-two was determined not to give up and told doctors to never tell her how serious the prognosis really was.

Bobby also said that even his family and people he meets regularly tell him his late mum was a "hero" and he's very like her.

But while it's "nice" to have an extra element of his mum still around, he struggles to watch videos of her from TV and often starts crying.

What's more, one of the only memories Bobby still has of his mum was when they went on a family holiday to Tobago.

During the trip, he was on a balcony and recalls a "big fire" starting and that Jade was frantically trying to fill up buckets of water to put it out.

Jade gave birth to Bobby in June 2003, only a year after the reality star shot to fame when she entered the Borehamwood bungalow at the tender age of 21.

The star went on to have second son Freddie, who also has a modelling contract now, with her partner Jeff in 2004, before the couple split soon after.

At the time of her death, Jade was in a relationship with boyfriend Jack Tweed, who recently rebuilt his relationship with Bobby following years of being banned from seeing him by Jeff.
