Freddy Brazier reunites with dad Jeff before heading to rehab in Spain amid concern over gran's ‘harmful' influence
FREDDY Brazier is snapped reunited with his dad Jeff as the Sun on Sunday's exclusive pictures show. The father and son duo are seen visiting a barbers together near their home in Essex on Wednesday. 6 6 6 The snaps were taken just hours after Freddy, 20, was with his grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68, mother of tragic Big Brother star Jade Goody. It comes as we can reveal TV presenter Jeff, 46, has a court date in his legal fight to stop Freddy from seeing Jackiey amid concerns over his welfare. A family friend said: ' Jeff and Freddy are in regular contact with each other - probably more than most dads and their adult children. 'They talk a lot and spend plenty of time together. 'Jeff just wants the best for his son and the door is always open for him. "Jackiey's influence over Freddy is harmful to his overall wellbeing. 'It's very sad that a grandmother continues to try and lead him astray.' On Friday Freddy, who starred with Jeff in the BBC's Celebrity Race Across The World, revealed he's going to rehab in Spain for cannabis, saying he 'wants a healthy relationship with his dad'. He wrote: '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.' Last month, thrilled Jeff, also a trained talking therapist, revealed that Freddy and brother Bobby, 21, had come to the family home to celebrate his birthday. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row He posted online: 'The best birthday present of all. The boys came home and slept in their own beds.' Jeff, who is a regular presenter on This Morning, revealed earlier this year that Jade was still badly missed 16 years on. He said: 'To lose the mother of your children is a huge trauma that, of course, shapes your life. 'It comes down to the fact that we need her. It's not just about missing her, we need her as a mother at the moment, and we always have done, in all honesty.' 6 6 6 Jeff and Freddy were on ITV together last month, presenting This Morning's competition segment from Malta. Jeff joked: 'He sat in as an apprentice to see how it all works. At first, he was on light reflector duty, and then he was about to take my job, so I am glad that it came to an end.

Freddy Brazier goes on bowling date with blonde influencer as it's revealed he's living with nan Jackiey amid Jeff feud
FREDDY Brazier has been spotted enjoying a bowling day out with a stunning social media star. The 20-year-old headed out with glamorous Tasha Newcombe who boasts a whopping 65,000 followers. 5 5 5 Freddy took to his Instagram stories to share a snap of Roxy Ballroom where he enjoyed his afternoon outing with Tasha. He didn't share any further details of their trip out nor did he upload any snaps of Tasha - instead choosing to tag her in his post. Tasha also re-shared the post to her own Instagram stories. His outing comes after it was revealed that the model and Celebrity Race Across The World star had moved in with his nan Jackiey Budden in her Bermondsey home. Jackiey, who has lived in the London area close to Tower Bridge all her life, has been spending an increasing amount of time with her grandson amid his feud with TV star father Jeff. It is understood that he has been living at her South London home despite the legal row launched by his father Jeff, 46, to block Jackiey from seeing him. Freddy, 20, was just four-years-old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby, was five when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 after a seven month battle with cancer and he has since been raised by his dad. Since then, Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant took legal action for his son's wellbeing. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row A source told the publication: "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." This comes after we spotted Freddy smoking a joint with his former reality TV star grandmother near Tower Bridge in full view of tourists. Our exclusive photos and video show them smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette as Jackiey was seen to be 'acting erratically' with her grandson. An onlooker remarked: "The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. The source added: "She appeared to be acting erratically." 5 5

Freddy Brazier enjoys relaxing pamper day amid family feud after defying dad Jeff by posting clip with nan Jackiey despite 'weed smoking' row
Freddy Brazier shared a glimpse of his relaxing pamper day on Instagram on Wednesday, after being embroiled in his family's legal war. The 20-year-old had defied his dad Jeff by sharing a new TikTok on Tuesday which included a picture of his nan Jackiey Budden. In a string of snaps and videos on Instagram Stories, Freddy revealed he treated himself to an early-morning sunbed. After the session, he then headed to the salon for a pedicure, and posted a clip of the treatment on social media. Earlier this week Freddy defied his dad Jeff Brazier by sharing a new TikTok which included a picture of his nan Jackiey Budden amid the family's legal war. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The picture was from the day Freddy and Jackiey were spotted smoking suspicious cigarettes after their recent reconciliation, despite his dad Jeff's war to block contact. He has reportedly been living with his grandmother for the past week and clearly shares a close bond with her. Freddy was seen puffing with his gran, 68, in front of tourists near Tower Bridge in South London this week, after the Mail On Sunday revealed Freddy had been living with his maternal grandmother for a week. He cut a casual figure in a burgundy top and beige shorts while Jackie wore her own joggers rolled up to her knees and sported bandages on her hands, with onlookers telling The Sun that she was 'acting erratically'. They told the publication: 'The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. It didn't seem to be normal tobacco they were smoking'. Meanwhile Jackiey said: 'As long as Freddy smokes with me he's safe. At least I know what he's smoking as it's nasty out there.' Now Freddie on Tuesday has returned to TikTok with Jackiey in a slideshow video captioned: 'Why don't we fall in love.' He uploaded a series of individual images against the backing track to Amerie's song of the same name. The picture was from the day Freddy and Jackiey were spotted smoking suspicious cigarettes after their recent reconciliation, despite his dad Jeff's war to block contact Snaps included ones showing him lying on the grass with a dog and playing football. Freddy previously took to his TikTok with a video of himself and Jackiey performing a trend as they danced alongside a female pal to a song which shockingly used the N word. The lyrics said: 'She's my n****r for a reason, I can tell her for a reason, because I know that she'll keep them and nothing will come between us'. MailOnline have contacted Bobby and Jackiey's reps for comment. Freddy lost his mother Jade when he was just four years old after she died from cervical cancer in 2009, and has since been raised by his dad Jeff. Jackiey and Jeff have clashed multiple times over the years, and it was revealed last month the TV star is taking action in an attempt to legally block contact between his son and his grandmother, 'to keep him safe'. Mail On Sunday revealed that Freddy, who was restricted from seeing Jackiey by his dad after he filed court paperwork, spent last week at her home in Bermondsey, after reuniting despite his father's efforts 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.' The Sun On Sunday also reported that Jeff now has a court date for his legal battle with Jackiey. It has sparked a vicious war of words between the pair, with furious Jackiey saying she knew nothing about his legal bid before it was leaked to a newspaper – and insisting that Freddy, who is now 20, is old enough to make his own decisions. And sitting down with The Mail afterwards, she raged: 'I could ruin him if I wanted to. I just need to make sense of it all. I only found out about this court business when he told the newspapers about it – he didn't even tell me himself. 'He's never liked Freddy being with me. He says it's because I smoke and give him drugs. Listen, Fred was fully involved when he was with his dad. I'm talking about drugs; that boy had his first bit of weed at fourteen. 'He never took a puff at my house until he was 16. I smoke with him, but he was safe with me because I knew what he was smoking; it was in my house. 'There have been issues for a few years ago Jeff has been trying to stop Freddy from seeing me, but he's 20 years old now and he has to be allowed to make his own decisions and do what he wants to do for himself. 'He used to lie to Jeff about where he was, but about a year and a half ago I asked 'Does your Dad know you're here?' and he just replied Yes,' and said he was sick of lying about it.' But this weekend Freddy returned to his grandmother's home, in a move likely to infuriate Jeff who has long disliked Jackiey's close relationship with late Big Brother star Jade's sons. Freddy and his older brother Bobby remained close to the 67-year-old after their mother's tragic death from cancer in 2009, aged just 27. The family feud was highlighted again in 2023 when Jeff insisted Jackiey should not attend the BBC Strictly Come Dancing studios where Bobby was competing. Her notable absent came after a period of estrangement, but she and Bobby later reconciled. It's understood the young EastEnders actor was heartbroken to be caught in the middle of the disagreement between his father and grandmother – telling friends the feud was 'extremely hurtful'.

Jeff Brazier looks downcast as he takes phone call after its revealed son Freddy is living with nan Jackiey amid feud
JEFF Brazier looked downcast during a phone call after it was revealed that his son Freddy is living with nan Jackiey amid their family feud. The TV presenter, 46, looked tense during a round of golf in Essex on Wednesday. 9 9 9 Freddy, 20, has reportedly been living with his grandmother for the past week despite his parent taking legal action to stop him from seeing his grandparent, Jackiey Budden. Earlier today, Jeff appeared in low spirits as he hit some golf balls on the course. He was seen pushing his clubs bag around and then stopped to take a phone call in the car park. The ITV star looked deep in conversation during the chat. He wore navy trousers, a pale grey zip-up jumper and a Callaway cap with grey and black trainers. Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 with the two boys then raised by their dad. Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for his son's wellbeing. It now appears the spat may have deeper implications. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff by posting TikTok dance with gran Jackiey after legal action to stop him seeing her After Bobby turned 22 on June 2, a source told us: "Bobby celebrated his birthday with dad Jeff and step mum Kate over the weekend. 'It was a really nice family occasion but everyone really missed Freddie. "He was of course invited but he is making his feelings quite clear at the moment about who he wants to be spending time with. "He did acknowledge that Bobby's birthday online but there was some sadness that he wasn't there with his brother." It came shortly after Freddy appeared to take a swipe at Jeff and said: "Home is where the heart is." TIME WITH JACKIEY Earlier this week, we reported how the pair were captured in a dance video. In the clip shared on TikTok, a shirtless Freddy and his grandmother can be seen dancing around in the garden of her South London home. The star simply captioned the post with hashtags, writing: '#fyp #explore #freddybrazier #jackieybudden #dancetrend.' Now Freddie has returned to the platform today with Jackiey in a slideshow video captioned: "Why don't we fall in love." He uploaded a series of individual images against the backing track to Amerie's song of the same name. It kicked off with an image showing him and Jackiey, who was donning a black vest top and cargo trousers rolled up to the knee, walking down a cobbled London street. Further snaps included ones showing him lying on the grass with a dog and playing football. LEGAL ACTION The new video comes as Freddy's TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey, 68, from seeing him. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. A source told the publication: "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.

Freddy Brazier takes a swipe at dad Jeff's wife in list of things ‘he hates' and confirms he's moved back in with nan
FREDDY Brazier has hit out at his dad Jeff's wife Kate in a scathing attack on things he "hates". The 20-year-old is currently embroiled in a heated war with TV star Jeff over his nan Jackiey Budden, 68. 7 7 In his latest swipe, Freddy has confirmed he is now living with Jackiey in South London and included "step parents" in a list of things he "hates". Writing on TikTok, Freddy said: "I hate a whole load of things." Along with "step parents", he wrote over a picture of himself and Jackiey: "My over thinking, bullies, I'm easily manipulated, my family issues." Freddy, who's Big Brother star mum Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009, also included: "Cancer." Alarmingly, he also included a string of references to his appearance, including his "big lips, nose, teeth" and said he "hates looking in the mirror". Freddy told his TikTok followers: "I don't know how to love because I've never been loved." Writing in the comments section, one person replied: "You're perfect as you are Freddy and have people around you who love you. "Life gets hard and dark at times but try to focus on the things you love and how lucky you are." Another added: "Sending you a big hug Freddy. I hope you find your peace and happiness. I'm on a journey to find mine too & sometimes it's just nice to know there are other people who feel a bit lost too." Freddy has also used the social media platform to confirm to a friend from boxing that he is now living with his gran Jackiey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row "Your doing well lil champ. I'm up in Southeast London, now fighting in Putney living in Bermondsey. I'll come down soon message me when you got a fight lil sis," he wrote. The admission came just a day after it was reported that Freddy had spent the last week staying with Jackiey in Bermondsey. Jeff, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey - Jade's mother - from seeing his youngest son. Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when Jade died from cancer. The Big Brother legend was just 27 when she passed away and the two boys were then raised by their dad. Jeff married publicist Kate in 2018, when Freddy and Bobby were in their early teens. Long-running feud Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for Freddy's wellbeing. The Sun On Sunday has since published footage and photos of Freddy smoking a suspicious looking cigarette with Jackiey in London. The pair were close to Tower Bridge and were in full view of tourists at the time. Since then, Freddy has continued to dismiss Jeff's concerns about him spending time with his nan. He has shared a TikTok of them dancing in Jackiey's garden, along with a string of photos - including one of them together - declaring: "Home is where the heart is." A source told The Mail this week: "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." 7 7 7 7
