But posting a black and white throwback of himself as a child, Freddy wrote: 'You know what I don't need rehab! I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.'
It comes just a week after the 20-year-old revealed he was preparing to check into a Marbella rehab facility in a bid to 'get clean', and open up a new chapter in his life.
Freddy stunned followers when he opened up about a long-standing smoking addiction and a desire to make peace with his dad after a tense family rift.
The 20-year-old, who starred with Jeff in the BBC's Celebrity Race Across The World, revealed he wanted to get help in Spain for cannabis, saying he 'wants a healthy relationship with his dad'.
In a heartfelt post, he said: 'I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side.'
Freddy also shared hopes of mending things with his famous father, saying: '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.'
Freddy was recently spotted puffing away with his grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68, near Tower Bridge, despite Jeff's attempts to block contact over safety concerns.
Sources say Freddy moved in with Jackiey in Bermondsey for a week, in defiance of his dad's legal efforts to keep them apart.
One family pal revealed: 'Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long — they've always had a strong bond.'
'They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years.'
Freddy Brazier reunites with dad Jeff before heading to rehab in Spain amid concern over gran's 'harmful' influence
TV presenter Jeff, 46, has a court date in his legal fight to stop Freddy from seeing Jackiey amid concerns over his welfare.
A family friend said: 'Jeff and Freddy are in regular contact with each other - probably more than most dads and their adult children.
'They talk a lot and spend plenty of time together. Jeff just wants the best for his son and the door is always open for him.
"Jackiey's influence over Freddy is harmful to his overall wellbeing.
'It's very sad that a grandmother continues to try and lead him astray.'
The Sun approached reps for comment.

"You look at the billionaires in the world today, how dangerous they all are because they're all power hungry. "And I've never wanted that. "But if you f*** with me, I'll tell on you.'
