Freddy Brazier splits from new girlfriend after huge row rocks whirlwind romance
FREDDY Brazier has split from his girlfriend Holly Swinburn after a whirlwind romance. The 20-year-old called it quits after a string of arguments - just weeks after getting a puppy together. 3 3 3 Friends close to Jade Goody 's son Freddy have told The Sun that it's over between them after one particularly upsetting row. The Race Across The World star was living with Holly and had even gone on holiday with her during their short-lived relationship. They decided to get a dog - a bully called Pablo - and set up an Instagram account for him. Within days, Freddy candidly admitted he had upset Holly by staying out to the 'early hours with the boys', while she stayed at home with the dog. He is now thought to be living back with his nan Jackiey and is concentrating on his health and happiness after a very tricky few months. It comes just weeks after his TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier launched legal action to block Jackiey from seeing him. Freddy had been staying with her at her home in Bermondsey despite his dad's concerns for his welfare. A source close to the Brazier family previously told us: "This is something Jeff and anyone who cares about Freddy hopes will help keep Freddy safe from a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his well being for a long time now. "The fact that he is going down this route shows how concerned we all our and how our efforts to keep Fred safe are being grossly undermined by other people." Freddy 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.

EXCLUSIVE Freddy Brazier SPLITS from girlfriend amid bitter bust-ups over their shared dog and money in latest incident likely to alarm his father Jeff
Jade Goody 's son Freddy Brazier has split from his girlfriend Holly Swinburn following a furious bust-up, in the latest incident likely to alarm frustrated dad Jeff Brazier. Freddy, 20, who appeared alongside his famous father in 2024's Celebrity Race Across the World, had been living with glamorous Holly at her east London home, with the pair recently buying a pet dog together - an illegal Pocket Bully named Pablo. The couple even launched an Instagram profile for the puppy, where they listed themselves as parents in the bio. It was only last week that Freddy gushed over his romance with Holly, 21, sharing a black and white snap of the pair together on social media alongside the caption: 'Couldn't think of a caption, but the photos say it all. Life is good.' MailOnline understands the young couple, who got together following Freddy's breakup from OnlyFans model Tasha Newcombe, 22, had recently enjoyed a holiday together, further cementing their growing feelings for each other. But now sources say a bitter fallout over their dog and money has seen Freddy, whose mother is late reality star Jade Goody, move out of her home with the duo now wrapped in a bitter dispute. A source explained: 'Things got very intense very quickly and Freddy had been living with Holly and they had holidayed together, making plans for their future, but it has turned ugly pretty fast. 'There has been an almighty fall out and neither party believes they're in the wrong - it has become the latest saga in Freddy's life following a series of setbacks. 'No doubt their sudden and dramatic breakup is something else that will really concern Jeff. Nothing seems simple at the moment.' The couple's relationship was on the rocks earlier this month after Freddy, whose older brother is EastEnders actor and former Strictly star Bobby, confessed to upsetting Holly by staying out until the 'early hours with the boys', leaving her and their dog at home. Freddy shared his experience with Holly online, saying he had learned a valuable lesson and hoped to move forward from the 'miscommunication' in their romance. The model has recently been struggling with a number of relationships in his life including with his TV presenter father Jeff and brother Bobby. Freddy and Jeff have suffered a fiery relationship in recent months, amid his father's legal bid to block him from continuing to see his grandmother, Jade's mother Jackiey Budden - accusing her of allowing her grandson to smoke cannabis at her home. 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. MailOnline has contacted Freddy and Holly for comment. 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.' 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.'

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.

The Ramblers have shortlisted eight paths for Britain's Favourite Path 2025, including one in West Sussex.

The public vote will decide which of these places will win the coveted title. In the running for Britain's beloved route is a favourite from the southeast: a path in Halnaker, near Chichester, nominated by Jeremy Cook-Abbott. He said: "It leads up a hill to a windmill in Sussex. "The joy is in the tree-tunnelled sunken path itself, as it changes due to the play of light, not only from season to season but from hour to hour. "A glorious path." Head judge Jeff Brazier, impressed by the entries, said: "With so many emotive stories and picture-perfect paths submitted, it was challenging to choose just one winner from each category. "I know I'll be adding a lot of new paths to my 'must visit' list after reading about them. "The entries that really stood out to me were the paths that people walked again and again because walking there made them feel good, the path bought back personal memories or helped them find peace. "Now it's over to the public to choose the overall winner and I can't wait to see which one wins." Around 1,000 submissions were received, nearly doubling the entries from last year. The shortlisting of entries was a collaborative effort with Brazier and four dedicated Ramblers volunteers, who help in the charity's mission to safeguard and upkeep paths all over the UK.
