Freddy Brazier joins dad Jeff on This Morning work trip to Malta after legal action against Jade’s mum Jackiey
FREDDY Brazier joined his dad Jeff on This Morning as they holidayed in Malta amid his legal war with Jade Goody’s mum Jackiey.
Dad-of-two Jeff, 45, is fighting to prevent his son Freddy, 20, from seeing his grandmother with an insider alleging their relationship has been “detrimental to his wellbeing”.
It comes 16 years after Jade died of cervical cancer aged 27, when Freddie was just four and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby was five.
On Monday’s episode, Jeff filmed a live competition segment from Gozo, an island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Jeff told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard that he was having a family holiday with Freddy.
He revealed that he was joined by his son Freddy, who was acting as his apprentice for the next few days.
“Fred’s here, we’re putting him to work. I’ll show you how in a little while,” Jeff said.
They then showed drone footage of Fred helping his dad get the right lighting from behind the camera.
Jeff said: “We’ll show you what we’re getting Freddy up to, this is like an apprenticeship for him
“He’s got the reflector right now, doing a wonderful job of keeping me lit.
“Thank you very much for doing that Fred.”
Cat joked: “I wish he could follow me around like that with the light.”
The father and son duo then popped up again later on in the episode as they headed out on a tuk tuk ride.
“Full of surprises here, me and Fred are now going on a tuk tuk excursion around the beautiful island of Gozo,” Jeff said.
“Off we go, we’re on the move.”
Freddy was seen affectionately holding onto his dad’s knee to make sure his dad didn’t fall out of the vehicle.
The youngster told Ben: “He hasn’t got a seatbelt on.”
Cat added: “Safety first.
It comes after The Sun revealed Jeff is planning on putting a legal block from Jackiey seeing Freddy any more.
A source close to the Brazier family has said of Jeff’s decision: “This is something Jeff and anyone who cares about Freddy hopes will help keep Freddy safe from a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his well being for a long time now.
“The fact that he is going down this route shows how concerned we all our and how our efforts to keep Fred safe are being grossly undermined by other people.’’
Freddy regularly stays with gran Jackiey in South East London and has previously posted a video on TikTok of himself openly taking drugs at her flat in Bermondsey.
Recently Freddy also posted a video of her making a foul mouthed rant at him where she is quoted as saying; ‘’Do you hear me? Don’t f***ing do it no more, don’t Fred, Please don’t. Don’t f***ing talk to me like you talk outside, if that’s the case f*** off. Yeah f*** off.’’
Jeff has shown pictures of him taking Freddy to a meditation retreat in Essex, Freddy helping him train for an ultramarathon, and last year the pair appeared together on Celebrity Race Across The World.
Freddy said of his relationship with his Dad on the programme: “At times where I’ve pushed him away he has pulled even harder to pull me back in.
“I don’t think I praise my dad enough for everything he has done for me but he knows the love.”
Freddy also said: “I lost my mum when I was four, and that was on Mother’s Day, which is really hard. I don’t really like showing my emotions.
“I don’t even speak to my dad much about my mum either. I just avoid it. I prefer to bottle it up. I don’t want to feel like I’m a burden to them.”
But Jackiey is hitting back, and despite Freddy previously sharing a video of him taking drugs at her home, she insists her house is safe and “always has been”.
“This is not fair,” she told the Daily Mail. “I’ve tried so hard with Jeff over the years, to keep the peace and to keep the family together and the boys close – I even send him a Christmas present every year, but he doesn’t appreciate it. He probably throws them in the bin.
“All these years, I’ve been the closest thing to their mum.”
“The boy is an adult now, and Jeff treats him like he’s ten,” she added. “It made sense seven years ago when Freddy was still 13 when Jeff first tried to stop him from seeing me, but now he’s 20 years old.”
In a warning to Jeff, she claimed she could “ruin him if she wanted to” and accused him of “riding on” late daughter Jade’s coattails.
