Jeff Brazier has opened up about his sons' futures after lockdown made them decide what they want to do with their lives.
The dad-of-two, who shares Bobby, 17, and Freddie, 16, with the late Jade Goody, revealed that his younger son has decided he wants to become a barber.
Lockdown hit in Freddie's GCSE year, but Jeff, 41, said his boy was never much of an academic and instead had "emotional intelligence".
Speaking on his new podcast with Absolute Radio Only Human, Jeff explained: "He's in his GCSE year. I mean, imagine of all the years it can happen to you within your education, for it to be literally the most important one is really unlucky. Freddie has never loved school.
"He's not particularly academic. I've always been very mindful of not squeezing the square peg through the round hole as it were.
"So I know that Freddie has some incredible traits and I know that his future will be absolutely wonderful, just simply because of his depth of emotional intelligence.
"And his caringness and consideration for others, you know, that's all through the roof.
"So I know that he's going to be absolutely fine and be able to carve out whatever he wants to do.
"He also knows what he wants to do in his apprenticeship. He wants to be a barber.
"And so as a result, it's almost like; right, all we've got to do is really get through the next six months and get him the other side of it so he doesn't have to re-sit anything."
Jeff also revealed that Bobby, who has previously dabbled in modelling, has gone through an emotional journey over the last year.
He said: "Up until a couple of months ago, maybe he still really didn't know who he was, what path he was taking, what he wanted to do next.
"And then all of a sudden, I think in the whole midst of lockdowns, he just went on a bit of a voyage into self-development.
"And, you know, it wasn't even anything that I had instigated.
"You try and tell your kids to read books about things they're not interested in. It's impossible. But all of a sudden, he just started self-educating and he started to actually feel so confident in what he was learning and how much use it was going to be for him."
