Jeff Brazier shares cryptic post about ‘what could have been’ after confirming split from wife Kate

JEFF Brazier has shared a cryptic post after confirming his split from wife Kate.

Last week the TV presenter, 43, revealed he and Kate had separated after nine years together.

But Jeff posted a heartfelt message on Instagram today along side a snap of his sons, EastEnders star Bobby, 19, and Freddie, 18.

He said: "To anyone who's first thoughts today are for what could have been or who should have been with you, we're thinking of you and you are far from alone ❤️."

Jeff's followers rushed to send messages, with one writing: "This brought tears, Merry Christmas 🎄🎅❤."

Another said: "Merry Christmas Jeff and boys. You've been in my thoughts. ❤️xx."

And a third added: "Merry Christmas. Thank you for keeping it real ❤️."

Last week Jeff revealed that he and Kate - who met in 2013 and wed five years later - are no longer living together.

Taking to Instagram, Jeff could be seen smiling wide for the camera as he sat in the back of the car, dressing down in a black hoodie.

"I have so much to be grateful for and I appreciate facing the lessons I need to grow but this year has been challenging to say the least," he wrote in the caption.

"My nine-year relationship ended earlier in the year and I’ve been working through that on top of supporting someone close to me who is going through something difficult.

"The boys and I have recently moved home to a new area & I spend most of the time alone as the boys obviously have their own things going on.

"It’s been constant change this year and I’m good with adapting but the combination of things have left me low at times.

"I’ve honestly never felt loneliness like it. Can we put Christmas back a few months?!"

Yesterday Jeff told fans how he and boys were having an "unconventional" Christmas with the trio travelling around Suffolk in a campervan.
