Discussing his upcoming wedding with Katie, which will be a family affair with his sons, Jeff said: 'It will be a recognition of everything we've been through and how strong we are now.'

Jeff had his sons with Jade - whom he was with from 2002 until 2004. She sadly died in 2009 following a short battle with cervical cancer, aged just 27, and left Jeff full custody of their sons.

The presenter revealed the late Big Brother star would be 'immensely satisfied' to know her youngest son Freddie had spent Christmas with her mother, Jackiey Budden.

Despite admitting he missed his son on Christmas Day, Jeff explained he felt it was important to let Freddie voice and act upon his concerns regarding his loved ones.  

He told the paper: 'Freddie asked me a week before Christmas and I gave him some time to decide. Freddie is very big-hearted. 

'He didn't want his grandma to be on her own so it was the two of them together. What matters far more to me is that this young boy can express concern in such a way.' 

He then added that Freddie's mother Jade, who sadly passed away when he was just five years old, would be delighted about his wish to keep Jackiey company during the undoubtedly difficult festive season. 

Jeff revealed he would only be spending Christmas with his son Bobby in a sweet Instagram snap of himself and his eldest walking along the beach.

He captioned the snap: 'Just Bob and I this morning. Missing Fred today but his kindhearted desire to keep his Nan company so she wasn't on her own this Christmas isn't something I can stand in the way of so must encourage. 

'Proud of him. ❤️,' he concluded the moody beach snap.

Eight years after Jade lost her battle to cancer, Jeff has now focused on himself and found happiness with Kate, who he recently proposed to.  

He recently told Mirror Online that his fiance has played a vital part in his children's grief: '[Marriage is] going to happen. I think we're working our way to it. What's going to be exciting to me is seeing the kids as older brothers, they'll be incredible.

'I'll get to experience parenting within a relationship and actually be married, because I haven't experienced that – not even as a child.' 

He elaborated: 'It'll be like putting things on track, being a real human being who is married and has a child with someone that he loves and stays with.

'Not that I didn't love Jade, but to be with someone where the relationship blossoms and goes from strength to strength... it's what we all try to create.'

Jeff admitted that he felt 'going solo' was more of a realistic way of bringing up sons Bobby and Freddie but that he feels he and Kate can now 'start getting all the rewards that we deserve.'

Speaking to MailOnline, Jeff revealed that his sons' favourite memory of their late mum Jade Goody is when she heroically helped put out a fire while they were on holiday.

Jade bravely threw buckets of water at a bushfire that ravaged their villa in Trinidad and Tobago back in 2007 and rescued their terrified toddlers Bobby and Freddie from inside.

Grief counsellor Jeff said that the boys, now teenagers, saw Jade as a 'lifesaver' afterwards - and plans to take them back there so they can feel a connection to their mum, who died of cervical cancer eight years ago aged 27.

Jeff also reflected on how the 'wonderful, heroic memory' left its mark on Freddie and Bobby.

'Their favourite memory is sadly one that I wasn't a part of, but irrespective it was a very wonderful, heroic memory for them,' he said. 

'They were in Trinidad and Tobago and somehow she put out a fire. They recall it very fondly how Mummy was very quick to react to the fact that something was on fire and that she put it out.

'They were young and very impressionable at the time and just thought that was the most incredible thing. They thought 'Wow, my Mum's a lifesaver, she's a firefighter!'

'That's a wonderful memory. That's probably their most valued memory. I'm gonna take them there one day and it will feel special because it was a place that's very special to their Mum.'
