Bobby Brazier spotted with Freddy despite his bitter admission about brother

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."

Revealed: How YouTubers are advising migrants on the best way to win charity visas into Britain for free

YouTubers are coaching potential migrants on the best way to win free charity visas into Britain using a little-known scheme, it has been revealed. The Times reported that YouTube and TikTok videos from several content creators advised people wanting to enter the UK to seek out charity visas, and use them as 'leverage' to bring dependants into the UK. Charity visas are one type of permission that allowed people from outside the UK to come in and volunteer for up to 12 months. While migrants are unable to earn money on these visas, online influencers have said that they can still bring dependants to the UK who can work and earn money with the long-term aim of settling. One YouTuber who described himself as a 'lifestyle and relocation content creator', Kelvin Ossai, said in a video that was viewed 23,000 that dependants can work thanks to a 'catch' in the rules. He also pointed out that people on charity visas can get significant stipends, as well as money from other sources. The YouTuber said: 'Even if you're working for them for free, your employer can also give you stipends and pay for your transport. 'They can provide you free accommodation, give you stipends for feeding and all that but it will not be classed as a salary.' Another YouTuber, Tochi Esther, who has 180,000 subscribers to her channel, interviewed a woman who moved her family to the UK with a charity visa, who said: 'All these charities, they pay you [a] stipend for feeding and transportation. Some will provide you accommodation. 'Luckily for me as a volunteer working in the nursery, I was being paid as a volunteer. You still get paid as a volunteer, so I still get paid somehow. My husband can do any type of work … He works anywhere and as many hours as possible.' The government has a list of around 1,400 charities that sponsor visas, many of them being churches and other religious organisations. Ossai in the video: 'Most churches in the UK are charity organisations. Most of them have the license to sponsor you on a charity visa. Don't say I told you this.' While each applicant, including their partner and any dependants, have to pay a £3119 fee, along with a healthcare surcharge that is normally £1,035 and prove they have at least £1,270 in savings, YouTubers point out that this is far cheaper than other routes into the UK. A Home Office spokesperson said: 'Under our Plan for Change, our upcoming immigration white paper will set out a comprehensive plan to restore order to our broken immigration system, which includes cracking down on those who look to exploit our visa routes. 'We keep our visa and asylum systems under constant review to ensure they are not open to exploitation and where we detect trends which may undermine our immigration rules, we will not hesitate to take action.' It comes after the Daily Mail revealed that Brits have been fined an astonishing £30million in just a year and a half for accidentally ferrying illegal immigrants across the channel in their vehicles. Travellers have been slapped with thousands of pounds in fines under an obscure and highly controversial scheme designed to crack down on the waves of illegal migrants sneaking into the country. Drivers can be fined up to £10,000 for each illegal migrant found hiding in their vehicle when they return to the UK under the scheme - even if they were unaware of their existence. They can also be handed a £6,000 fine if they vehicle is not 'adequately secured' - even if no migrant is found. The penalties have been harshly criticised for punishing law-abiding citizens who report illegal migrants they discover and open themselves up for bumper fines. While those who don't report the illegal migrants, allowing them to freely leave their vehicles, avoid the prospect of a harsh penalty. The Daily Mail previously revealed that £25,662,299 in fines had been dished out by the home office under the Clandestine Entrant Civil Penalty Scheme between 1 January 2024 and March this year. By the end of June that figure had shot up to £30,983,102, with no further successful penalty appeals, figures obtained from a Freedom of Information request show. That comes despite criticism over the policy penalising right-minded citizens, with Sir Keir Starmer even forced to intervene in one case after significant public backlash. Although 6,825 fines have been imposed, just one person has been successful in getting their punishment rescinded since the beginning of last year. There have been 140 unsuccessful appeals.

Emmerdale Dylan star reveals how 'stars aligned' on unexpected comeback story

Back in February Emmerdale viewers were stunned by a special episode which revealed what happened to April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) after she ran away from home. We saw her having a tough time living on the streets and in a squat, and how she was befriended by a young man called Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle), who was also living rough. When April returned to the village, Dylan later came looking for her. Desperate to protect his daughter, Marlon (Mark Charnock) tried to get rid of Dylan – who was battling drug addiction – by various means. Eventually Marlon agreed to pay for rehab for Dylan and the character left the village. Now he's back, and Fred Kettle told us what's in store for Dylan. 'I think Dylan's going to get introduced with a few new characters, including Ray (Joe Absolom),' he revealed. 'There's a bit of a County Lines idea there that we're going to do which has been really fun to play. It's Ray that actually helps him. He sort of takes him under his wing and helps him get away from drugs. 'I think Ray's trying to get him to gain a bit of trust. I feel like there's a little bit of a son father figure relationship going on. So Ray can gain trust to make Dylan deal drugs, basically.' Of course the main attraction of the village, as far as Dylan is concerned, is to see April again, as Fred explained. 'Their bond they had during that special episode, their time on the street, it was so special,' he said. 'They both helped each other get through really, really tough times. And when they parted, I feel like that's all Dylan would be able to think about, you know. So she's bound to be on his mind and he's bound to want to go back and see her.' These two things are quite contrasting, on the one hand dealing drugs for Ray and on the other trying to keep his life together for April. Fred said that Dylan knows that Ray is manipulating him but it's the best option he sees open to him: 'Dylan knows he's doing the wrong thing but it's more morally correct than what he was doing when he was back on the streets.' Whichever way the character goes, Fred is relishing the chance to explore the character some more. 'I feel like there's a few different routes it could go down and I'm willing to take any of them,' he said. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

More Trending 'I think before I finished there were definitely little talks happening. It was like, 'Oh you could come back.' I was like, 'Yeah I'd love to.' I think it's been perfect, really, because I've just finished college and two days later I was back on set filming. So it was ideal how that happened. I feel like the stars sort of aligned there.' He's looking forward to what's in store for his character. View More » 'It's going to be good. It's going to be a nice journey for a few different characters actually.

Celeb SAS thrown into chaos as two stars quit on very first episode

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been thrown into chaos as two stars quit on the very first episode of the new series after a brutal challenge led by the instructors Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins descended into chaos tonight as two stars quit on the very first episode. The Channel 4 military competition returned to screens for its latest series on Sunday night, but things did not go entirely to plan. ‌ Fourteen celebrity recruits, including the likes of Love Island stars Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, as well as X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan and footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa amongst a host of others were put through their paces by Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver. One of the first phases saw the recruits turn up at an abandoned compound for a hostage rescue mission, described as the 'most dangerous' any of them can take on. ‌ Pop star Hannah Spearritt, 44, who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. ‌ However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." ‌ And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as dancer Louie Spence also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. "Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". ‌ Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." ‌ Prior to his swift exit, Louie had sung the praises of the directing staff on the programme, as he said: "I actually looked at them and thought, 'oh, my God', because what they do and what they've done is incredible. I could never do that for real. "Do you know what I mean? They are a different breed, like doctors and surgeons and things like that. So I did look at them in that sense and think that what they really did in their day job was incredible." And when asked for asked with what he struggled most with, he admitted: "Definitely the physical side of the course. "Even though I've struggled with my anxiety and depression, mentally I was in a really strong, good place. It wasn't about an individual which they made very clear at the beginning, it was about the group. I love being a group player, I love being with people. But in that scenario, in the reality of it when I was there, I didn't think I was capable of being a group player."
