The 16 year old, who lost his mum to cervical cancer in 2009, spent his first day in the workplace on Wednesday (25.09.19), and his dad was so proud of his boy.

He tweeted: "Such a proud day. Bob starts his apprenticeship in London.

"So much progress has been made in such short time and I feel immensely satisfied knowing that he has all the tools to develop at his own pace into whatever he wishes to become. Much love. (sic)"

The touching message was accompanied by recent and childhood photographs of Bobby.

Jeff has looked after Bobby and his brother Freddie, 15, since Jade lost her battle with cancer.

Recently, there were signs that Bobby wanted to follow his mum into showbiz after he signed up to a talent scout.

Jeff previously opened up on Jade's difficult decision to reveal her cancer battle to her sons, admitting she only told them when it became "physically apparent" she wasn't well.

He said: "Nothing was said to the boys at the time. I guess it wasn't until her health deteriorated further, because it was physically apparent to the boys, that it we had to introduce the fact that mummy wasn't well."

Despite it going against "every instinct" as a parent, Jeff believes it was the right decision.

He said: "That was absolutely the right thing to do because it meant the kids could start processing.

"The processing of loss is something that is still ongoing - from the minute she said it ten years ago really, until this day."
