Brother Freddy needs to grow up… there are things I don't like about him, says Bobby Brazier as he discusses family feud

He said: ' Freddy's very sensitive and wants to please. And when he grows up a little bit that will serve him well.
'There are things I don't like about him and there are things about me he doesn't like. Freddy will be OK, I don't know if he looks up to me, but I look up to him in many ways, but he's a good boy.'
It comes after the Sun on Sunday revealed the brothers' TV host dad Jeff, 46, has a court date in his bid to stop Freddy seeing maternal gran Jackiey Budden, 68 — mother of late Big Brother star Jade Goody — amid concerns over his well-being.
Freddy teamed up with his dad last month to present This Morning's competition segment from Malta. The pair previously competed in BBC One's Celebrity Race Across the World last year
Meanwhile, Bobby is to leave EastEnders in September.
He said: 'It's mixed feelings, it's been a wonderful three years and I've learned so much, so it feels like home. It's like a family there.'
Last month, we revealed he had received a wave of work offers after being a runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023.
It led to him winning Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series for his role in Paramount+ drama Curfew, at the National Film Awards in West London on July 3.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Bobby said he now has his sights on Hollywood.
He said: 'I'd like be around people who've mastered what they do and absorb as much of that as I can. I'd love to work with Joaquin Phoenix, I think he's incredible. Even to watch him on set would be amazing.'

Batch cocktails: the summer party lifesavers
What batch cocktails are best for summer parties?Ella, by emailFirst things first: stand down that cocktail shaker. When you have more than a handful of people over, you need drinks that scale up easily. And a paloma never fails to hit the hot weather happy-hour spot, says Max Venning, director of Three Sheets bars in London and co-author of Batched and Bottled Cocktails. 'It's great for a garden party, because you just whack it all in a jug and into the fridge in the morning, then all you need are iced glasses and soda water.' Combine 350ml good-quality blanco tequila ('Ocho or Volcan are my go-tos'), 250ml fresh pink grapefruit juice, 10ml tomato vinegar ('or white balsamic') and two tablespoons of caster sugar, stir until the latter dissolves, then chill. 'While you're waiting for your guests, coat half the rim of your glasses with a mix of salt, a touch of ground black pepper and a sprinkle of ground cumin: wipe half the outside rim with grapefruit, put the salt mix on a small plate and gently press the wet part of the glass into the salt, so it sticks.' When you're good to go, fill each glass with ice, fill halfway with the paloma mix, top with soda and stir gently: 'Garnish with edible flowers or a grapefruit slice.' Another party starter, says Alex Lyonness, bar manager at Luca in London, is a naked and famous, which, happily, is 'quick to batch because it's equal parts mezcal, Aperol and yellow chartreuse, and quick to build because it's 60ml of that mixed with 20ml lime juice'. Sandia Chang, meanwhile, would lean more towards a 'lighter' negroni: 'We often pre-batch a cocktail that's a cross between an americano and a white negroni, which is equal parts Lillet Blanc and Suze,' says the co-founder of Bubbleshop and Kitchen Table, who serves that mix of classic French aperitifs over ice and topped up with soda. If you're looking to bung things together a little further in advance, try a cherry americano, Venning says: 'Mix 300ml Campari, 300ml sweet vermouth and 100ml cherry cordial, and store in a clean, sealed wine bottle in the fridge.' To serve, pour 50ml of the mix over ice, top with soda water and garnish with an orange slice. Or, if you're feeling fancy, pour 30ml into a flute, top with sparkling wine and garnish with an orange twist. If you're heading out, though, perhaps to the park or beach, Venning's batch drinking concept (to be consumed in moderation, naturally) would be a 'British coastal negroni': It's lighter than the classic, and a perfect sundowner. Mix 200ml Campari ('or, for a brilliant British take on it, Forgotten's ultrasonic bitter aperitivo'), 200ml red vermouth ('I use Vault Aperitivo's Forest', staying on the British theme), 200ml gin ('Hepple, for preference'), 20ml blackcurrant cordial, 100ml water and two drops of optional orange flower water, then tip that into a Thermos with a handful of ice cubes. Of course, cocktails don't necessarily mean booze: 'When I was pregnant, Chang recalls, 'I often made delicious, flavoured iced teas to take to the park, and a particular favourite was hojicha tea infused with slices of lime, mint and a little brown sugar.' She also recommends iced green tea with honey and apple marigold. Now that's sure to keep everyone sweet. Got a culinary dilemma? Email feast@

Everyone thinks I'm 25 because I look so hot wearing mini-dresses and tiny shorts – but my real age will shock you
A FASHIONISTA has rubbished the suggestion that people should dress their age - and has left the people stunned by how old she really is. TikToker Charlotte Singmin grew up in a time where women were bombarded ''with toxic messaging'' on ''how they 'should' look''. 2 2 ''When I was growing up our bodies would be labelled apples or pears and we were convinced we had an expiry date,'' Charlotte recently said online. ''Turns out we don't need to identify with fruit and we should feel good dressing however we want at any age,'' she shared in an uplifting post. Now, Charlotte doesn't hide or dresses to become invisible - the brunette beauty rocks mini dresses and figure-hugging shorts, and urges others to follow suit. ''i'm 49 and I don't believe in 'dressing your age'. ''If it makes you feel good, do it,'' she said in the video. For Charlotte, however, it wasn't an easy journey, with vicious trolls slamming her with ''ageist comments'' about her style. It wasn't until her 49th birthday that the stunner, who posts under the username @ charlottesingmin, rediscovered her ''love of fashion''. The mum and entrepreneur said in a video: ''I'm turning 50 in November and I'm finally starting to live life on my terms and learning what makes me happy. ''Turns out, I love putting on a cute fit and drinking mocktails with my girlie.'' Charlotte's inspiring words have clearly resonated with many, as the stylish mum has racked up more than 370k views. I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit As many flooded to comments, one couldn't believe the mum was about to turn 50 in autumn. ''49 looking like 25,'' the fan was gobsmacked. A fellow fashionista chimed in: ''I turn 45 this weekend and I'm wearing whatever the hell I want.'' ''49 but looking better than most of 20' out there,'' a viewer said. ''I can't stand people saying dress your age.. it doesn't even make sense.. there's no mandatory look for any age,'' a TikToker thought. ''Just be a decent person and wear whatever you want.'' ''This isn't 'dressing your age'. this is dressing your power. period,'' a fifth penned.
