Freddy Brazier’s dad, Jeff, has reportedly taken legal action against the 20-year-old’s nan, Jackiey Budden – who is Jade Goody’s mum – in a bid to ‘keep him safe’
Freddy Brazier failed to turn up to his brother Bobby’s birthday yesterday – according to reports – amid rumours of a feud in the family. Freddy, 20, is said to be living at his nan, Jackiey Budden’s house, despite doting dad, Jeff Brazier, reportedly taking legal action against Jade Goody’s mum in a bid to ‘protect’ his youngest son.
On the weekend, Freddy appeared to defy his dad by posting a TikTok video of himself and Jackiey larking around in the sunshine in her garden in South London. And now it’s been reported that he skipped his older brother Bobby’s 22nd birthday on Monday.

The Sun reports there was “sadness” at the bash after Freddy failed to appear, with a source claiming that Bobby spent the day with dad and stepmum, Kate.
They reportedly said: “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.”
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 reportedly 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.”
Freddy 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 Jackiey at the weekend.
Despite his dad’s concern about his relationship with Jackiey, 67, Freddy posted a TikTok video of the pair dancing in her garden in South London. Seen with his shirt off, sporting shorts, the model larked about in the sunshine while Jackiey, also in shorts, slippers and a mustard-coloured cardigan danced along.
Captioning the clip, which concerned dad Jeff was 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.”
The Mirror has contacted reps for Freddy and Jeff for comment on this story.
