Proud Dad Jeff Brazier shared a gushing tribute to his sons as they took to the dance floor during the family’s lavish New Years getaway to Mauritius on Thursday.
The broadcaster, 45, said it made his ‘heart sing’ to see Freddie, 20, expressing himself with such ease alongside Bobby, 21, who appeared in 2023’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Taking to Instagram Jeff shared fun filled footage of the boys, whose mother was the late Jade Goody, dancing together at their hotel before Freddie strutted his stuff with step-mum Kate Dwyer.
The brother’s appeared to be having a wonderful time as they threw their arms in the air and playfully shook their hips to the wild music.
Jeff captioned the clip: ‘I’m well aware one of my boys likes to dance but to see Fred really expressing himself on holiday made my heart sing. I could watch this all day long’.
‘When I see any kids behaving freely it just makes me happy, it just means someone somewhere along the line is getting something right’.

‘The boys have always been close even though they are so different but watching them share the dance floor was really beautiful to see! ‘.
He continued: ‘I was such a shy kid growing up, I didn’t start dancing till I was 17 when I found 5th Ave in Ilford closely followed by Epping Country Club & Time & Envy in Romford!’
‘Great times! I hope I get to enjoy a million more moments like this in our lifetime. Thank you for making the end of our 2024 so perfect’.
Last month Jeff posted a sweet throwback snap of his sons as young children, in the black and white photo EastEnders star Bobby wrapped his arm around his little brother Freddy.
Jeff gushed that he would give anything ‘to spend a day with them at this age again’ as he said they ‘grow up too fast’.
He penned: ‘Going through the memory boxes this morning. So much I want to show the boys.
‘This was always my favourite picture ever taken of the boys. What I’d give to spend a day with them at this age again. They grow too fast’.
It comes after Jeff received supportive messages from Loose Men fans after he made a heartbreaking admission about his late partner Jade.

It comes after Jeff received supportive messages from Loose Men fans after he made a heartbreaking admission about his late partner Jade.
Jeff appeared on the panel last month alongside Jordan Banjo, Brian Conley, and Craig Doyle for a special spin-off of the show.
To mark this year’s International Men’s Day, the panel opened up on topics affecting them and others today, as they continue to tackle the taboos around men’s mental health and physical wellbeing.

EXCLUSIVE
Revealed: Freddie Brazier's family feud with his father Jeff that is behind heartbreaking scenes on Celebrity Race Around The World. And why Jade Goody's memory may finally heal rift
Speaking about whether men grieve differently to women, Craig Doyle said to Jeff: ‘I’m gonna start with you because so much of your life has shown the happy times but also the sad times, so you know what you’re talking about.’
Jeff, who has openly discussed the loss of his sons’ mother, Jade Goody, over the years said: ‘Yeah absolutely, when the boys lost their mum I guess whilst they’re boys, not men yet, oh actually they’re just becoming men, I’ve just realised that they’re 21 so it’s gone ever so quickly,’
‘I think at first looking at them, the sort of six or seven months after the loss of their mum they didn’t really exhibit too much of the kind of behaviour that I was expecting.’
‘Then all of a sudden their world completely turned upside down and it was chaos, absolutely chaos.’
‘And we’ve all got a coping strategy that I think is probably more inherited within men than in women.’
‘As in women just seem to be really good at being human and natural and just being like “something really bad has just happened I’m gonna need to talk about it”.’

The TV presenter, 45, shared his two sons with his ex-partner Jade Goody , who tragically died in 2009 from cervical cancer; pictured 2006 with Bobby
He continued: ‘Whereas boys, lads, dads, we will try and sweep it (grief) under, we will try and avoid it for as long as possible and hope that we get away with it and we just sort of step over it or we leave it behind.
‘And the truth is, even I as someone that didn’t feel worthy of grieving for Jade, because I hadn’t been with her for about two years at that point,’
‘I avoided what I was likely to be going through, which was a really challenging time, especially (for) someone who wasn’t even thirty years of age yet and all that responsibility in front of you.’
‘But I made it all about the kids and I think that’s probably a typical response for any parent, of course we would put them first…’
He added: ‘But the truth is, it’s always going to catch up with you, you’re always going to have to pay that debt to yourself and those feelings don’t evaporate like you hope.
‘They actually just build and build and build until one day, it’ll be something completely random that will set you off and then you realise you’ve got this absolute build-up of unresolved feelings and trauma that you haven’t been able to talk about.’
