Jeff Brazier delivers update on relationship with son Freddy amid family feud
Now on Loose Women, dad Jeff has updated fans on how the father-son pair are doing. Speaking about his upcoming role in 101 Dalmations: the Musical, Jeff said that Freddie is "eager" to watch him on stage.
When asked whether his older son, EastEnders star Bobby, had given him acting advice, Jeff said: "He's been a bit casual about it. I was with both the lads yesterday and Freddie is showing more eagerness to come and watch.
"Bobby is going to come soon and no doubt there will be a critique that follows. He does trust me, I think he's always admired the fact that I chuck myself in. Whether that's a good idea or not, it soon follows doesn't it?"
Jeff is making his musical debut in 101 Dalmations: The Musical, starring alongside JLS singer Aston Merrygold and Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas.

Danny Dyer's staggering earnings revealed after being 'so skint' when BBC offered him EastEnders role that he 'couldn't afford a lager'
Danny Dyer staggering earnings have been revealed after he raked in huge amounts from a string of hit shows over the last year. The actor, 47, recently admitted he was once 'so skint' he couldn't even afford to buy BBC execs a lager when they offered him a role on EastEnders in 2013. But thanks to his successes, accounts filed at Companies House have revealed that his firm, Arty Bucco, made £1.4million in the last financial year. The figures show Danny has made a huge £712,221 more than the previous year. In 2023, he quit his role as Mick Carter on the BBC soap EastEnders after nine years to try other things and the move appears to have paid off. Since then, he's leaned into his softer side and taken on a variety of different roles - including Jilly Cooper's Rivals and an emotional appearance on ITV 's new show The Assembly. Danny also reportedly bagged £100,000 for presenting television series The Wall. He recently revealed his children get driven to their swish private school in a Bentley, after his role in EastEnders and a series of top films saw his bank account swell. But it all could have been so different for national treasure Danny, who previously told the Jonathan Ross Show: 'I didn't have an audition, they rung me up, I had a touch. 'They said, "Listen we want you to come in the show, take over the Queen Vic" and at the time I was skint and I just had about enough petrol money to get there, that's the truth. 'They thought I was a multimillionaire and I met them in the hotel and I walked in absolutely skint, not a bean about me. I thought, I hope they don't ask me to get them a lager because I've got no dough. 'They sat me on a throne and said how great I was and how they wanted me to come in and take over the Vic and [I was] going to have a really big storyline about having a gay son.' Danny explained he made out it was no big deal, but secretly he was overjoyed by the career-saving offer. He said: 'I was like, "Wow, I want to do a cartwheel in front of them" but I thought, "Play it down, don't show your bolt too early." The actor added: 'I went, "I'll think about it" and then I walked out and I did a couple of backflips on the way out! I played it right down, I didn't want to look desperate and I was desperate.' Speaking about what he might have had to do if the role didn't come up, Danny said: 'I might have had to go and load skips Jon, I just couldn't catch a cold, I was doing nightclub appearances.' In 2023, the Marching Powder star put his past financial woes down to a run of 's*** films' including 2012's Run For Your Wife which made just £602 in its opening weekend. He told The Sun: 'I was on my a**e. I was f***ed. I had made too many bad films. I'd had my shot and made some good stuff. I had resorted to going to nightclubs and waving off balconies. 'That chips away at your soul that I'll tell ya. Where do you go from there?' His life now is worlds away from the dark pre-EastEnders days and Danny told ITV's new show The Assembly last month that his kids head to their private school in Chigwell in style. Each episode of the series sees a different celebrity face questions from a group of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled people, which will force them to cast aside their media training, with no topic off limits. And in last week's instalment, he said that because of his fame, his kids have never been on a bus and instead get driven 'door to door in a Bentley'. Danny, who hails from east London, has three children with his wife Joanne – Sunnie, 18, Arty, 11, and reality star Dani, 28, who won the fourth series of ITV dating show Love Island. He revealed in March that they were going to send his son to a private school in Chigwell.
