Bobby and Freddy Brazier have been seen together after the EastEnders actor admitted he doesn't always like his younger brother Bobby Brazier and Freddy Brazier have been spotted together for the first time after a reported family feud. The brothers were seen together as they headed to see their dad Jeff in 101 Dalmatians: The Musical. Dad Jeff has made his debut in the West End show at the Eventim Apollo in London, where he stars as character Casper alongside the likes of JLS star Aston Merrygold and Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas. The pair were all smiles as they headed to the venue to watch their dad. Just the other day, dad Jeff updated fans on his son Freddy and their bond as he chatted with the Loose Women. "He's been a bit casual about it. I was with both the lads yesterday and Freddie is showing more eagerness to come and watch. Bobby is going to come soon and no doubt there will be a critique that follows. He does trust me, I think he's always admired the fact that I chuck myself in. Whether that's a good idea or not, it soon follows doesn't it?" he said. Bobby had previously said that his brother Freddy needed to "grow up". He explained that Freddy is "very sensitive" and "wants to please" people. He added: "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." He concluded: "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." Earlier this year, it was reported that Jeff had launched legal proceedings to stop Freddy Brazier - from seeing his late reality TV star Jade's mother Jackiey. Also this year, Freddy announced he was planning to go to rehab. He said at the time: "I've decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I'm in England I won't take getting clean seriously. I've been smoking from the age of 12 and it's time to stop. It was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK. "I've found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I'm happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself. I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family. He added: "I haven't been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now. I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father."

Freddy Brazier makes rare appearance with dad Jeff and brother Bobby after feud
Bobby and Freddy Brazier put on a united front to attend the gala night of 101 Dalmatians: The Musical for their dad Jeff's theatre debut. The brothers, and sons of the late Jade Goody, were spotted walking to the Eventim Apollo together to see Jeff, 46, star as Cruella de Vil's henchman Casper, alongside Aston Merrygold as Jasper. Freddy, 20, and Bobby, 22, appeared in high spirits arriving at the venue, with EastEnders star Bobby beaming for the cameras. It comes amid reports of a family feud between Freddy and Jeff, which has descended into a legal battle. Jeff has launched a lawsuit hoping to block his youngest son from seeing his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden. After pictures allegedly surfaced of Freddy 'smoking a joint' with Jackiey, a source told The Sun: 'These pictures show exactly why Jeff is so worried about his son. 'Jackiey's influence over Freddy is harmful to his overall well-being. It's very sad that a grandmother would want to encourage her grandson to do something that could potentially be so damaging.' Mail Online reported that Freddy has been living with Jackiey in her home in Bermondsley for a week amid legal proceedings. It was also claimed that Freddy and Jeff are locked in a 'secret feud', with arguments between the pair causing Freddy to 'storm out' of their home to stay with Jackiey until it blows over. In June, Freddy announced he would be entering a rehabilitation facility in a bid to have a 'healthy relationship' with his dad. Taking to his Instagram Story with a lengthy message, he admitted to starting to smoke at the age of 12. But in an interview with MailOnline days later, he declared he 'doesn't want to see' his dad, accusing him of being image-obsessed without consideration for 'his own sons'. 'It feels to me like he only cares about his own image. He doesn't think about anything that affects anyone else, not even his own sons,' he said. He also said he was 'barely speaking' to his brother Bobby, but confirmed he was still in touch with Jackiey and that they have 'proper fun' while together. Despite reports that he had 'turned his back on his dad', Bobby shut down rumours of a rift between him and Jeff earlier this year. More Trending He also weighed in on the feud between Jeff and Freddy, saying his brother needs to 'grow up.' 'Freddy's very sensitive and wants to please. And when he grows up a little bit that will serve him well,' he told The Sun. '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.' Got a story?

Bobby Brazier and his brother Freddy puts family feud aside for one night as they reunite at 101 Dalmatians: The Musical to watch father Jeff's debut
Bobby Brazier and his brother Freddy put their family feud aside for one night to support their father Jeff in 101 Dalmatians: The Musical on Thursday. The brothers reunited to watch their father make his debut in the West End show at the Eventim Apollo in London. Jeff, who plays Casper, stars alongside JLS heartthrob Aston Merrygold, who stars as his onscreen brother Jasper. Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas stars as Cruella De Vil at London's Eventim Apollo Theatre for six-weeks only this summer. 101 Dalmatians: The Musical is now playing at the Eventim Apollo in London until August 30. TV presenter Jeff, 46, shares Bobby, 22, and Freddy, 20, with late reality star Jade Goody. The trio recently reunited at a family party to celebrate Jeff's mother Janette's birthday. Freddie is currently in the midst of a legal battle with Jeff over his welfare. It is reported Jeff, has set up a court date to stop Freddy seeing his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68, amid rising concerns over his well being. Jeff has long insisted she is a bad influence on the troubled youngster - with the pair enduring a series of very public disputes over the years. But last month The Mail On Sunday revealed that Freddie was again spending time at Jackiey's Bermondsey flat despite his father filing court paperwork in an effort to keep his son away. Family friends say the duo remain 'extremely close,' explaining: 'Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long - they've always had a strong bond, Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. 'They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat - where he has often stayed over the years. Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked.' In June, Freddy announced on Instagram that he was going to a rehabilitation centre in Spain, admitting he had been addicted to smoking since he was 12 and was keen to seek treatment. He said: 'I've been smoking from the age of 12 and it's time to stop it was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and somewhat okay.' Jeff (L), who plays Casper, stars alongside JLS heartthrob Aston Merrygold (R), who stars as his onscreen brother Jasper But days after the admission, Freddy posted again online saying he had changed his mind, writing: 'You know what I don't need rehab. I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.' Freddy lost his mother, former Big Brother star Jade, to cervical cancer in 2009 when he was just four years old. During his appearance on BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World, Bobby spoke on the grief he has suffered following his mother's tragic passing. He said: 'I don't really remember being held by my mum… if I had more memories with her, it would have made it a whole lot harder for me, but I think I would rather that than not remembering the things I had done with my mum.' Freddy admitted he 'misses the bond' he shared with older brother Bobby in a heartbreaking Instagram last month. The Race Across The World star posted throwback videos as he reminisced about the good times he and Bobby shared during the coronavirus. One video Freddy posted saw the Brazier brothers bashing their heads against a pumpkin on a farm. He wrote: 'Only thing I miss about Covid is the amount of time I had with my brother to bond and make memories and have a laugh.' In another post, Freddy and Bobby larked around in the kitchen in a video while dad Jeff cooked dinner.

The 46-year-old TV presenter was joined by his two sons, whom he shared with the late Jade Goody, as well as other relatives, to celebrate his mother Janette's birthday. Posting a smiling family photo, Jeff wrote: "Lovely to have the full squad together yesterday to celebrate my Mum's birthday. Will always be in her debt for the help she has been over the years." The warm family moment is in stark contrast to the seemingly strained relationship between Jeff, 46, and Freddie, 20. Recent reports have revealed that Freddi is currently embroiled in a legal battle with his father, who has allegedly taken steps to block him from visiting his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden. Jeff is said to be concerned about her influence, with their ongoing disputes stretching back years following the tragic death of Jackiey's daughter Jade, who died after a battle with cervical cancer when she was just 27-years-old.

Promoting his role in 101 Dalmatians: The Musical, he spoke about Freddie's interest in seeing him perform. "I was with both the lads yesterday and Freddie is showing more eagerness to come and watch," Jeff said. As for Bobby, the EastEnders actor, Jeff added: "He's been a bit casual about it… Bobby is going to come soon and no doubt there will be a critique that follows. He does trust me, I think he's always admired the fact that I chuck myself in. Whether that's a good idea or not, it soon follows doesn't it?" It comes as Freddie's year has been marked by several personal challenges which he has documented on his social media platforms. Earlier in 2025, he left the family home to live with his grandmother Jackiey. He later announced plans to enter rehab in Spain due to an addiction to 'smoking,' but ultimately decided against it. Most recently, he ended his relationship with girlfriend Holly Swimburn, shortly after the couple adopted an adorable dog together. A source told the Mail: "Things got very intense very quickly… but it has turned ugly pretty fast. There has been an almighty fall out and neither party believes they're in the wrong." Freddie also had a rough encounter at the airport in early July, where he reportedly missed a flight and got into a fight. 'Missed my flight, got punched and got a fine on the train,' he wrote online. 'What a s** day.'* Older brother Bobby later told The Sun: "Freddy will be OK… he's a good boy." He added, "He's very sensitive and wants to please. When he grows up a little bit, that will serve him well."
