Kate Brazier took to Instagram to reflect on her step-sons performance on Strictly last night.

On a post sharing the dance, Kate captioned the video: "Cried this morning saying bye to him.

"Cried today because i couldn't go because of my ridiculous cough.

"Cried because i was so proud. Cried because of what it means to all three of these boys. The three most incredible people i know."

On the show, Bobby said: “This dance is a tribute to my mum.”

Fans were quick to comment on the beautiful performance with one writing: "They deserved a 40 for this. Such a beautiful dance and tribute!"

Another added: "This was so stunning - also made me think of my beautiful dad."

A third fan penned: "I remember listening to your mums words saying she wanted to leave a legacy for her boys - you just paid the most ultimate tribute to her words. From one mum to another you made her so proud."

In the audience Bobby's father, Jeff Brazier, could also be seen with tears in his eyes.

Bobby lost his mum in 2009 when he was just six years old.

Jade, the former reality TV star, died on March 22, 2009, at the age of 27, due to cervical cancer, which she had been diagnosed with in August 2008.

Jeff started dating Kate in 2013 but then split in early 2022. They got back together seven months later.
