Freddy Brazier is receiving the full support from his dad Jeff and brother Bobby following the news he is expecting to become a dad. The model, 20, is preparing to welcome his first child with his ex-girlfriend.

TV presenter Jeff was said to have wanted to help Freddy in any way he can after reconnecting with each other. Their relationship became strained when Freddy, who is Jeff and the late Jade Goody’s youngest son, went to live with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden.

Freddy claimed she got him “hooked on drugs” when he was just 12-years-old, with Jeff turning to legal support to stop them from seeing each other. The father and son appeared back on track with each other this summer as they were spotted spending time together again.

Freddy’s baby news is also said to have played a part, with Jeff and Bobby’s support now clear for all to see. While he has remained silent on the pregnancy, Freddy returned to social media to share a cryptic post about preferring dogs to people.

He could be seen surrounded by a group of dogs while a huge smile on his face as he asked his followers: “Do you Prefer dogs or people?” Freddy answered himself as he added: “I personally at this moment in time prefer dogs.”

His older Strictly Come Dancing star brother Bobby left a string of laugh crying emojis on the post, which prompted Freddy to open up more. He said: “People are draining, dogs are healing!”

Bobby decided to step in and offer support to his younger brother as he replied: “People that do draining things together are draining i guess? Good news is There’s great people waiting to love and serve the deepest part of you.

“With that being said those dogs look like they love you very much.” Dad Jeff also shared his support to Freddy as he commented: “Love this Fred. This was made for you!”

Last week a source explained: “It has been one of the things that has really brought Freddy and his dad back together but it’s so devastating that Jade isn’t here to see it.

“Jeff was one of the first people Freddy decide to confide in to ask for advice, and he stepped up straight away and wanted to help in any way he could,” a source told the Mail on Sunday.

Jeff has raised both his sons as a single dad after the death of their mum Jade Goody to cancer in 2009. Bobby was just five at the time while Freddy was four.

Last month, Freddy decided to lay bare the extent of what he has been going through after revealing he was going to rehab earlier this year. “I’ve been smoking since I was 12,” he said.

“I’ve been to rehab, I’ve been sectioned, I’ve had manic episodes, I’ve been in cells. There’s been a real journey and it’s been a tough one. My nan was definitely the person who not only introduced me to weed but got me hooked,” Freddy said.

Addressing his relationship with dad Jeff and why he spent so much time with his nan, Freddy sadly explained: “I feel like if I didn’t prioritise the relationship with my mum’s mum Jackiey… I was scared that if I wasn’t [around her], she’d kill herself.

“And I had that in my head for so long to the point where I pushed my dad away and I was at my nan’s for months, go on mad ones…” Jackiey dismissed Freddy’s claims, insisting she wasn’t to blame for any trouble and claiming the youngster had got in with a ‘bad crowd.’
