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.

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.

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'.
