Freddy Brazier enjoys relaxing pamper day amid family feud after defying dad Jeff by posting clip with nan Jackiey despite 'weed smoking' row

Daily Mail​2 days ago

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.

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'.

Calls for catapult ban as slingshot-wielding youths target angry mother and her children when she challenges them over attacks on animals

A campaigner is calling for a catapult ban after a group of boys turned their catapults on a mother after she challenged them for targeting animals. Holly Collins was caught up in the shocking encounter in broad daylight on Sunday at St Clements Lake in Greenhithe, Kent, where she says catapults and ball bearings have become the weapons of choice for attacking ducks, swans, and even people. She said: 'I pulled up outside their house, and there were teenagers aiming at ducks in the lake. 'I shouted at them, "You better not be hurting those ducks, because I'll call the police,' and they all started swearing at me." Ms Collins estimated the boys to be around 12 or 13 years old and what started as an animal attack quickly escalated into a direct threat. 'I got back in the car and we drove off, but my son's friend had forgotten his phone, so we came back—and that's when they were all aiming the catapults at me,' she said. 'I had the window down with the kids in the car, and they hit it. Luckily, it missed me. Then they ran off.' Ms Collins and her children were left 'shaken up' and 'out of sorts' by the encounter, just the latest in a growing pattern of catapult-related violence in the area. The incident has now led to another resident and wildlife campaigner Carly Ahlen who says the yobs come to hurt the animals every weekend and has started a petition for a ban on the sale of catapults. 'After they tried to take a shot at Holly, I ran across to check in case they had managed to kill any ducks,' the 45-year-old said. 'They had run off, but we did circulate all around the lakes. I was very worried they had gone to Bluewater, because there are waterbirds there, and I was worried they were going to target them next. 'They had disappeared, but they could have gone into the shops by then, causing trouble and mischief. 'It's a weekly occurrence with no end in sight.' Ms Ahlen, founder of the ornithology organisation Gabo Wildlife, also believes that the regularity of attacks has resulted in a decrease in the bird population at the lakes. Last year, the mum-of-one was alerted to the killing of eight geese which had been deliberately hit in nearby Dartford. And just a few months ago, a moorhen and a goose were shot and killed with ball bearings on the St Clements Lakes development. Concerned neighbours have now set up a WhatsApp group to report incidents, which has around 300 members. Locals say it's not just the ducks under attacks, it's the entire community, with frustrated residents saying it's a 'weekly occurrence' both at St Clements Lakes and the lakes at Bluewater Shopping Centre, with 'no end in sight' A spokesperson for Kent Police said they were aware of the incident and details have been passed to local officers. It's also understood that some of the boys' schools have been informed of the incident. Locals say it's not just the ducks under attacks, it's the entire community, with frustrated residents saying it's a 'weekly occurrence' both at St Clements Lakes and the lakes at Bluewater Shopping Centre, with 'no end in sight'. Anum Abid, who has lived by St Clements Lakes for seven years, says she's witnessed several attacks on wildlife in the area and has had enough. 'It's just ridiculous how bad it's getting,' she said. 'Everyone is just so fed up and frustrated. 'You'll see an average kid here wanting to throw stones at a bird for absolutely no reason whatsoever and the thing is they seem to have no fear of anything. 'They're very vile individuals, but it's not just one group of kids, though.. I feel like it's not even one age group.' Ms Abid complained that residents felt they were responsible for policing the catapult-wielding youths. 'I don't understand why we are having to do this?' she said. 'We're not a law enforcement agency. They are breaking the law. 'We feel like we are just left to our own devices and there's only so much that we can do to try and protect the environment that we live in.' The frustrated resident says despite provided lots of information, including photo and video evidence no serious action has been taken. 'I'm really sick and tired of nothing being done by anybody,' she continued. 'Law enforcement has done nothing. 'We, as local residents, are the ones who have to come in and intervene and stop these vile, horrendous kids. 'They have no fear of anything. They think this is entertainment because they tape it and put it on things like Snapchat. 'And not only do they have no repercussions, [no one is] banning these catapults.' Ms Ahlen has now set up a petition calling for a ban on the sale of catapults. 'There's absolutely no reason children should be running around with them - it's madness,' Ms Ahlen said. 'If we can't ban the sale of catapults, we should definitely put an age restriction on them, so at least we can give police the power to make arrests or confiscate them. 'It's a daily occurrence now across Kent and London now - it's out of control. 'It's very awful to live in this small community where people are afraid to come out and stand up to them [the teenagers]. 'The police don't come. Because these kids are not found or prosecuted, others think, 'We can get away with it'. 'It's an epidemic - swans all over Kent, London, are being targeted by kids posting this on social media. 'It's not going to stop until they are held accountable for these terrible things.' Ms Abid added that the fact youths are now targeting local residents makes her feel 'unsafe'. 'They are now aiming and threatening people with it,' she said. 'I feel very unsafe here, to be honest. 'We keep raising this to the police and absolutely nothing happens - I don't understand like how much more noise needs to be created. 'If they are underage that's not an excuse. You are only grooming criminals for the future. 'And for people who don't care about animals, you have to understand that this behaviour is only going to progress to humans later. 'You might think you are safe, but you are not.' A spokesperson for Kent Police said: 'Police are aware of concerns raised on June 1, concerning the behaviour of a group of people at a lake next to Castleridge Drive, Greenhithe. 'It is reported a catapult was aimed at wildlife and was also used to fire an object towards a car, which was not damaged. 'The group had left the scene when the catapult incidents were reported, and details have been passed to local officers. 'Enhanced patrols are operating in the area over the summer months and residents are encouraged to report anti-social behaviour to their local beat officer, PC Calum Andrews.'

I took a risk and ordered a £269 bed from Shein – it's complete with storage, LED lights and even charges my phone

MANY of us will have ordered clothes, shoes or maybe even holiday accessories from Shein, but did you know that you can buy beds from there too? Recently, we've seen shoppers take the risk and nab themselves fresh new sofas from Temu, but now it appears that people are beginning to order box-fresh furniture from Shein. 4 4 4 4 A mother named Shaks explained that she 'wanted to take a risk' and bought herself a brand new bed frame from Shein. While she recognised that it was confusing to put together, she was thrilled with her new bedroom purchase, which cost her just £269.99. Not only does it have LED lights and four storage drawers, but it's even got a charger port too - yes, you heard that correctly. Eager to show others her new bargain buy, Shaks took to social media and gave her followers a close-up look at the functional bed frame, which is a gorgeous linen beige. Showing off her Flieks Upholstered Bed, which is still available to order online, Shaks said: 'I bought a bed from Shein so you don't have to.' Showing off the process of putting the frame together, Shaks explained: 'Well, to start off with, those confused the instructions - the Shein manufacturer needs to redo them because we had to undo, start again about three, four times.' The content creator then showed off the bedside charging port and storage drawers. Following this, she shared: 'It was looking a bit small at first but it actually worked out great. 'I can honestly say, you can buy your bed from Shein - it even comes with LED lights.' The LED Light Bed, which has four storage drawers and a slatted frame, was originally priced at £519.98, but has now been reduced to £259.99. The surprising Shein buy that will bring your tatty old garden furniture back to life - and prices are as cheap as £3 In a follow-up clip, just weeks after getting the bed, Shaks revealed: 'It's still standing, it's firm, it's strong, the colour is good.' Despite this, the mother acknowledged: 'The only problem that I find with this bed is that it's too low, so if you've got back problems I personally wouldn't recommend it.' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. Having said that, she recognised that the bed, which doesn't come with a mattress, is 'good for Shein.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ shaks6, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up a jaw-dropping 20.3 million views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 1.4 million likes, 4,665 comments and 125,800 saves. Social media users were left stunned by the affordable bed and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'I didn't know they sold beds.' Another added: 'Buying a bed from Shein is so crazy.' A third commented: 'DON'T TEMPT ME.' Whilst another user wrote: 'At this point, they have everything. They need to start selling Mr. Right too now man.' And it's not only Shaks that shared a positive review of the purse-friendly bed, as online Shein shoppers have also raved about the furniture. One shopper beamed: 'Sooooo good, easy to assemble and even comes with a charging port. I am in love!!!' A second simply penned: 'Absolutely love!' Whilst another praised: 'Lovely bed, love the USB and the lights. The drawers are a bonus, quite spacious.'
