Freddy Brazier is reportedly living with his grandmother Jackiey Budden - despite his dad Jeff's ongoing legal battle with the Londoner, who is the mum of Big Brother star, Jade Goody
Freddy Brazier didn't appear to let reports of his dad's legal action against his nan affect him when he posted a video of himself dancing with Jade Goody's mum at the weekend. The 20-year-old's dad, Jeff Brazier, is said to have taken legal action against Jackiey Budden to block her access to his youngest son, in a bid to "keep him safe."
Despite his dad's concern about his relationship with Jackiey, 67, Freddy is reportedly now living with his nan and posted a TikTok video of the pair dancing in her garden in South London. Seen with his shirt off, sporting shorts, Freddy larks about in the sunshine while Jackiey, also in shorts, slippers and a mustard-coloured cardigan dances along. Captioning the clip, which concerned dad Jeff is bound to see, Freddy wrote: "#fyp #explore #freddybrazier #jackieybudden #dancetrend.' Responding to the post, one of the lad's followers said: 'She'll make you feel like you have a piece of your mum,' while a second added: 'There's just something about a Nana. That bond is important.'
Freddy was just four-years-old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby, was five when their mother Jade tragically died from cervical cancer in 2009.
They have been raised by their doting dad, Jeff, who heartbreakingly admitted he didn't see much of his youngest son when the pair appeared in Celebrity Race Across the World last year.
According to the Mail on Sunday, Freddy is now living with Jackiey at her flat in Bermondsey. Those close to the family told the publication: "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."
The source added: "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."
Meanwhile, according to footage from The Sun On Sunday, Jackiey and Freddy were caught smoking dubious looking cigarettes while on a day trip to London's Tower Bridge. The publication alleged that Jackiey was "acting erratically" oblivious to onlookers and tourists.
Jeff's legal action is said to have created even more tension between the pair. At the time it was reported that Jeff had taken legal action, Jackiey claimed to have not known about his decision until it was revealed in a newspaper.
Earlier this year, sources alleged that Freddy and Jeff would get into arguments that were so intense, the youngster would storm off to see his nan.
"Freddy will often turn up on the doorstep, sometimes very unhappy, and wanting to see his nan,' a source claimed to the Mail at the time. "He and Jeff often argue, the rows can be bad, things go really, really pear-shaped between them and that's it, he leaves.
'While Jackiey has her issues - and will be the first to admit she isn't the most perfect or archetypal grandmother - he can share his feelings with her which is something he can't do at Jeff's.
