She looked as stylish as ever in the denim ensemble as she posed up a storm and took a look at the looks for the extension that were printed on Polaroids.
And fans of the TV newbie were quick to take to the comments section to wish Bobby their condolences, with many noting the resemblance between him and former Big Brother star Jade.
One said: ‘Every time I see you on screen, I see your mom. The resemblance is undeniable. I am sure that she is with you today and always.’
Another wrote: ‘Ahhhh you are literally twice your mom!’
A third said: ‘I was lucky enough to meet your mother and you sure have her smile! keep it up Bobby, you are a credit to Jade and your dad x.’
Bobby’s outing comes after he opened up about his late mother Jade and her take on the ‘nepo baby’ debate.
Bobby was only five years old at the time and revealed that he bases his memory of his mother on what others tell him about her.
speaking to The times about what he remembered about Jade, he said: ‘Not much. Maybe memories of memories. They always tell me about her and what she meant to people. I guess I know my mother through other people’s memories of my mother.

Jade has had a tumultuous relationship with fame, after being vilified for her shocking racist comments towards Indian actress Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.
Bobby said: ‘I’ve never really thought about his experience of fame. I think assuming that anyone’s experience of fame is glamorous, or that it will make you feel complete or happy, is silly. It may improve some things, but because of that it will make others worse.
Bobby is now a model and actor, most recently landing the role of Freddie Slater in EastEnders last year.
Giving his take on the current ‘baby nepo’ debate, he said: ‘Simply put, what good is a chance if you can’t deliver? I really believe in my abilities. So thank you, mom and dad, for the opportunities that come my way. But I can thank myself for believing in myself, and my dad for giving me the belief.’
Bobby also spoke about his religious beliefs, saying he believed his mother was still around, adding, “Maybe as a guide, maybe as an angel, maybe as a teacher, maybe as a protector.”
Bobby, who lives with his father Jeff Brazier, 43, his brother Freddie, 18, and his stepmother Kate, previously told him Sun how he thinks Jade would ‘love’ him to ‘try my best to make something of my life’ after carving out a modeling career.
He said: ‘Like all children, you want to think that your mother would be proud of you.
Family: Bobby currently lives with his father Jeff Brazier, 43, his brother Freddie, and his stepmother Kate.
“I hope he’s looking down at me and smiling, probably laughing, thinking, ‘Look at Bobby lying in a field in his designer clothes.'”
Jade shocked the world in 2008 when she was told live on Indian Big Brother, Bigg Boss, that she had cervical cancer, before discovering the following year that it was terminal.
She then passed away in March, a month after marrying Jack Tweed.
Bobby’s father, Jeff, has become an advocate for mental health and grief survival not only for his two sons but for others as well, even releasing The Grief Survival Guide: How to Navigate Loss and All That Comes With It in 2017.
