Jeff Brazier reunited with his sons Freddie and Bobby amid their ongoing family feud.
The TV presenter, 46, was joined by his sons - who he shares with late reality star Jade Goody - and other family members to celebrate his mother Janette's birthday.
Jeff looked in good spirits in the snap, beaming at the camera alongside Freddie and Bobby who were also all smiles.
Alongside the post, he wrote: 'Lovely to have the full squad together yesterday to celebrate my Mums birthday. Will always be in her debt for the help she has been over the years. ❤️'
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.'
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.'
