The 47-year-old presenter shared an emotional Instagram post from the intimate gathering at their home, saying the evening was filled with “lots of emotions swirling,” as the family raised a glass to what would have been Jade’s 45th birthday.
Bobby, 23, announced he will be moving to the US this July after a whirlwind rise to fame — from starring as Freddy Slater in EastEnders to claiming the runner-up spot on Strictly Come Dancing. Speaking about the move, Bobby said: “You know I’m actually moving to New York. Well I say New York, in New Jersey.”
Jeff added: “I’m going to miss him so much! There were a few people wanting to wish Bobby safe travels because he soon departs for his NY adventures.”
The party also offered bittersweet reflections on family and legacy. Bobby recently shared how his newfound fame, including a string of reality TV appearances, has brought both attention and life lessons. He joked about the adoration from fans: “I did see that a lot of older ladies liked my hips and I loved that.”
Despite the glitz and glamour of awards and TV stardom, the family remained grounded, celebrating love, memory, and new beginnings — marking a poignant tribute to a mother gone too soon and a son embarking on a daring adventure.
Fans flooded social media with messages of support, applauding the heartfelt farewell and wishing Bobby success in his next chapter. 🌟
