Jade Goody was one of the noughties’ best-known personalities.

The colourful reality TV star first made her name on Big Brother in 2002.

She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008 and passed away in March of 2009 after a seven-month battle with the illness.

She left two little boys after her when she died – Bobby and Jack, who she’d had with ex-partner Jeff Brazier.

Recent photos of the now-15-year-old Jack show just how much he’s grown up and how much like his mum he is.

Bobby, who was just five when his mother passed away, is building a profile for himself online.

He now has 10,000 Instagram followers who he keeps updated with selfies and snaps from family days out.

His dad Jeff, once a reality TV regular, is now a fully trained grief counsellor.

“The big challenge for me was not taking it personally,” he has said of helping his sons through the bereavement.

“I didn’t realise when she died that it would get so personal and they would literally tear me apart at times.”

Last year, Jeff became engaged to girlfriend Kate Dwyer.
