Jeff Brazier has reportedly launched legal proceedings to stop his 20-year-old son Freddy Brazier – with who he shares with Jade Goody – from seeing his maternal grandmother. The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star is said to be trying to block contact between the young model and Jade’s mother, Jackiey.

It has previously been reported how Freddy had a ‘secret feud’ with his dad and ‘storms out the house’ after huge rows, opting to stay at nan Jackiey Budden’s flat in southeast London to cool down. While appearing on Celebrity Race Around The World, Jeff even revealed he doesn’t ‘see loads of him’ as “Fred isn’t at home loads”.

And now, it has been claimed Jeff, 45, has begun legal proceedings and hired a barrister ahead of an upcoming hearing.

An insider claimed to The Sun: “This is something Jeff and anyone who cares about Freddy hopes will help keep him safe from a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his wellbeing for a long time now.

‌

“The fact that Jeff is going down this route shows how concerned we all are, and how our efforts to keep Fred safe are being grossly undermined by other people.’’

Last year, sources claimed Freddy and Jeff’s arguments get so intense the model would storm off to see his nan.

‌

“Freddy will often turn up on the doorstep, sometimes very unhappy, and wanting to see his nan,” a source claimed to the Mail at the time. “He and Jeff often argue, the rows can be bad, things go really, really pear-shaped between them and that’s it, he leaves.

“While Jackiey has her issues – and will be the first to admit she isn’t the most perfect or archetypal grandmother – he can share his feelings with her which is something he can’t do at Jeff’s.”

During the opening episode of Celebrity Race Across The World, viewers got a glimpse into their dynamic. Ahead of the TV game show, Jeff expressed excitement at the prospect of embarking on the gruelling trip with Freddy, as they would finally have had the opportunity to spend time together despite living under the same roof.

‌

“D’you know what I’m most looking forward to about this trip is that I feel like I’m about to learn a lot more about my son,” Jeff previously said.

Further sharing his thoughts, the presenter explained to viewers in the opening episode of the series: “[Fred] isn’t at home loads and as a result, I don’t see loads of him, but the beauty of this trip is he’s with me and can’t shake me off.”
