Freddy Brazier takes a swipe at dad Jeff's wife in list of things ‘he hates' and confirms he's moved back in with nan
FREDDY Brazier has hit out at his dad Jeff's wife Kate in a scathing attack on things he "hates". The 20-year-old is currently embroiled in a heated war with TV star Jeff over his nan Jackiey Budden, 68. 7 7 In his latest swipe, Freddy has confirmed he is now living with Jackiey in South London and included "step parents" in a list of things he "hates". Writing on TikTok, Freddy said: "I hate a whole load of things." Along with "step parents", he wrote over a picture of himself and Jackiey: "My over thinking, bullies, I'm easily manipulated, my family issues." Freddy, who's Big Brother star mum Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009, also included: "Cancer." Alarmingly, he also included a string of references to his appearance, including his "big lips, nose, teeth" and said he "hates looking in the mirror". Freddy told his TikTok followers: "I don't know how to love because I've never been loved." Writing in the comments section, one person replied: "You're perfect as you are Freddy and have people around you who love you. "Life gets hard and dark at times but try to focus on the things you love and how lucky you are." Another added: "Sending you a big hug Freddy. I hope you find your peace and happiness. I'm on a journey to find mine too & sometimes it's just nice to know there are other people who feel a bit lost too." Freddy has also used the social media platform to confirm to a friend from boxing that he is now living with his gran Jackiey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row "Your doing well lil champ. I'm up in Southeast London, now fighting in Putney living in Bermondsey. I'll come down soon message me when you got a fight lil sis," he wrote. The admission came just a day after it was reported that Freddy had spent the last week staying with Jackiey in Bermondsey. Jeff, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey - Jade's mother - from seeing his youngest son. Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when Jade died from cancer. The Big Brother legend was just 27 when she passed away and the two boys were then raised by their dad. Jeff married publicist Kate in 2018, when Freddy and Bobby were in their early teens. Long-running feud Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for Freddy's wellbeing. The Sun On Sunday has since published footage and photos of Freddy smoking a suspicious looking cigarette with Jackiey in London. The pair were close to Tower Bridge and were in full view of tourists at the time. Since then, Freddy has continued to dismiss Jeff's concerns about him spending time with his nan. He has shared a TikTok of them dancing in Jackiey's garden, along with a string of photos - including one of them together - declaring: "Home is where the heart is." A source told The Mail this week: "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." 7 7 7 7

In a now-deleted post, Jeff Brazier 's son shared a clip featuring personal photos of himself with his brother Bobby and late mum Jade Goody, alongside a series of captions about his state of mind. The video, set to the heartbreaking audio of Ricky Gervais ' character expressing his sadness in a scene from his Netflix show After Life, Freddy's video included statements from the audio which included: ''I feel sad all the time. I'm not the person I was!' 'I lost most of me and all the good stuff, all the happiness enjoying, I feel like I'm nothing you know?' 'People think I'm sort of OK you know? Like, I'm getting on with it, I'm snarky now and get, and this is a lapse. But it's not! This is me all the time now. I'm not well but I remember what it was like to be normal so I do an impression of that.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'But this is what I really am and I want to be normal again. But I'm weak you know?' Captioning his post, Freddy penned: 'As a man, I bottle up my emotions and hide my feelings away. I rarely let them out to play. Feelings are being felt and thoughts are being heard and played out.' He then asked his male followers how they were mentally and urged them to speak out about how they felt and what's 'hurting them'. His post was met with a plethora of supportive messages from fans. Freddy and his EastEnders star brother Bobby, who turned 22 this week, are the sons of TV presenter Jeff and the late Jade Goody who tragically died in 2009 from cervical cancer aged just 27. In March Freddy revealed he has been diagnosed as bipolar in a candid video about his 'serious' mental health. The Race Across The World star discussed his struggles with bipolar and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a TikTok post filmed for No Cause, No Cure, Epilepsy Awareness.. Bipolar causes unusual and often sudden changes in mood and energy levels, while ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Raising awareness for epilepsy, Freddy said no illness should be made a 'joke' of as he discussed how many are 'belittled' for their struggles. Freddy does not have the condition himself. Freddy went on to reflect on his own difficulties with bipolar and ADHD, as he sympathised with what sufferers of epilepsy experience. 'Seizures or any illness shouldn't be made a joke or something to laugh about,' he shared in the footage, which was filmed in September. 'Me myself, I suffer from serious mental health, and I've got ADHD and bipolar, and it's not nice when people want to belittle you or talk down on you because of it.' The footage was shared to TikTok by the epilepsy awareness social media group and fans took to the comments section to praise Freddy for speaking out to help others. Freddy previously discussed his struggles with ADHD while appearing with his father Jeff, 45, on Celebrity Race Across The World. Opening up about his tough experience in school, Freddy explained how he was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 10. 'I never meant to be disruptive, I don't think I was bad but I weren't good,' he admitted. Speaking to the cameras, Jeff added: 'I couldn't hazard a guess on how Fred's mind works but I know he's going to do something amazing in his lifetime. 'We need the pioneers, we need the people that give a completely different opinion. That's what Fred's role is gonna be. 'And I see it. I've always seen it and I look forward to him realising it, one day it's all gonna click and fall into place.' For confidential support, call Samaritans on 116 123, visit or visit

Freddy Brazier skips brother Bobby's family birthday bash as family feud escalates
FREDDY Brazier skipped big brother Bobby's birthday bash amid speculation of a family feud, The Sun can reveal. We can report how there was "sadness" over the Celebrity Race Across The World star's no-show, while Bobby spent the day with his dad. 7 7 7 Freddy, 20, has reportedly been living with his grandmother for the past week despite his parent taking legal action to stop him from seeing his grandparent, Jackiey Budden. He was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009. The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 with the two boys then raised by their dad. Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for his son's wellbeing. Now it appears the spat may have deeper implications. After Bobby turned 22 on June 2, a source told us: "Bobby celebrated his birthday with dad Jeff and step mum Kate over the weekend. 'It was a really nice family occasion but everyone really missed Freddie. "He was of course invited but he is making his feelings quite clear at the moment about who he wants to be spending time with. 'He did acknowledge that Bobby's birthday online but there was some sadness that he wasn't there with his brother.' Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row The Sun has gone for comment. It came shortly after Freddy appeared to take a swipe at Jeff and said: "Home is where the heart is." TIME WITH JACKIEY Earlier this week, we reported how the pair were captured in a dance video. In the clip shared on TikTok, a shirtless Freddy and his grandmother can be seen dancing around in the garden of her South London home. Inside Bobby Brazier's burgeoning TV career Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV. As the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age. Bobby first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling. The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn't long before he had his eyes on a TV career. He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in EastEnders. The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the National Television Award in the 'Rising Star' category. His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond. It wasn't long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing. He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up. Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running BBC One soap. The star simply captioned the post with hashtags, writing: '#fyp #explore #freddybrazier #jackieybudden #dancetrend.' Now Freddie has returned to the platform today 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. It kicked off with an image showing him and Jackiey, who was donning a black vest top and cargo trousers rolled up to the knee, walking down a cobbled London street. Further snaps included ones showing him lying on the grass with a dog and playing football. LEGAL ACTION The new video comes as Freddy's TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey, 68, from seeing him. Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey. A source 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. "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." 7 7

Jade Goody's mum Jackiey hits back at Jeff Brazier in war over Freddy after weed smoking pics

Freddy, 20, has reportedly been living with his grandmother for the past week despite Jeff taking legal action to stop him from seeing her. 5 5 Then, in a clip shared on TikTok this week, a shirtless Freddy and his grandmother could be seen dancing around in the garden of her South London home.

EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE - Jeff Brazier can't stop me seeing my grandson Freddie, insists defiant Jackiey Budden after legal bid to stop contact over 'concerns for his welfare'
Jade Goody 's mum has furiously hit back at Jeff Brazier and his attempts to stop her seeing grandson Freddie over concerns for his welfare. TV presenter Jeff launched legal action to keep Freddie, 20, and his gran, Jackiey Budden, apart amid their years-long feud. On Sunday, it was reported that Freddie had been spotted 'smoking a joint' with Jackiey as onlookers claimed she was 'acting erratically'. It was the latest milestone in the fiery relationship between her and former son-in-law Jeff. Jackiey, 68, is the mother of Jade, who died of cervical cancer in 2009. Freddie was just four at the time and his brother, Eastenders star Bobby, was five. She has today defended herself, dismissed the legal action and attempts to stop her seeing Freddie and also issued a heartbreaking tribute to Jade, who would have turned 45 on Thursday. Jackiey said: 'This is all nonsense - seriously. I'm serious. Freddie has been here this morning. 'He's just left. He will come back. I'm still going to be seeing him.' Outside her Bermondsey flat, new tributes to Jade have been displayed by Jackiey. Among them are flowers, a series of photos of the pair together and Mother's Day cards. They also include love heart signs and flowers. Neighbours of Jackiey - who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother with Jade - have also defended her. One said: 'I've known her for years. She's a good nan. She's been through hell. 'She loves those boys. She might not always be very diplomatic. But she's protective of the lads. 'She'd do anything for them.' The comments come as Jackiey and Jeff have clashed multiple times over the year, with it being revealed last month Freddie's dad was now taking legal action 'to keep him safe'. The Mail on Sunday revealed yesterday that Freddy, who was restricted from seeing Jackiey by Jeff, after he filed court paperwork, spent last week at her home in Bermondsey anyway. 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.' Amid onlookers spotting the pair smoke suspicious cigarettes together, there were claims Jackiey was 'acting erratically'. A court date being set for Jeff's legal battle with Jackiey has sparked a vicious war of words between the pair. Furious Jackiey said she knew nothing about his legal bid before it was leaked to a newspaper – and insisted that Freddy, who is now 20, was old enough to make his own decisions. 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'.
