The truth about Freddy Brazier’s new baby: Friends tell KATIE HIND star is pushing for a DNA test as they reveal what really happened with child’s mother – and key role his father Jeff is playing

Millions witnessed him arguing with his father, Jeff Brazier, during their worldwide journey on the widely-known BBC series “Celebrity Race Around the World.

At a certain moment, Freddy Brazier, who is Jeff’s younger son and the late Jade Goody’s child, made a remark suggesting that Jeff was not being transparent or honest in his communication, which prompted Jeff to leave angrily.

On that particular occasion, they managed to put their disagreements behind them. However, for most of the past year, they found themselves apart and disconnected from each other. Recently though, they rekindled their relationship a few weeks back.

The unexpected resolution of their long-standing conflict left fans in astonishment, questioning the events that led to such a profound improvement in their relationship.

Today, there’s some exciting news to share: Freddy is about to experience the joyful sound of little footsteps. As I shared in yesterday’s edition of The Mail on Sunday, it turns out that Freddy is set to become a father himself, as one of his former girlfriends is expecting their child.

‘There was only one person that Freddy could have turned to,’ says my source. ‘His dad.’

As tensions had been mounting for quite some time, especially when my father, Jeff, took the legal route to prevent me from visiting my volatile grandmother, I’ve always trusted that in times of crisis, he would stand by my side.

I’ve learned that he has been in regular communication with Jeff since then and has been following his guidance. It took Freddy by surprise when he found out he was going to be a father, as he required assistance. Remarkably, Jeff has been a great help and has been assisting him immensely during this time.

Additionally, I’ve learned that Freddy expresses a desire for a DNA test to be performed on the child, so that he can confirm the paternity with certainty, prior to making plans regarding the child’s future.

One friend remarked, ‘This connection didn’t last long, and he’s cautious about committing to a future based on it.’

It’s been reported that Freddy’s short romance with the woman ended bitterly, marked by numerous arguments, and escalated to such a level that they both lodged accusations with the police.

Certainly, ‘As one source puts it, Jeff intends to meet the girl’s family so they can face this situation collectively.’

After hearing about Freddy’s new baby, Jeff appeared happy and upbeat as he posted a radiant photo on his Instagram Stories with a friend who came to see him perform in the play “101 Dalmatians” he is currently starring in, accompanied by them.

In a more casual, conversational style, the statement could be rephrased as: The celebrity shared a song titled “Life Will Be” by Cleo Sol, along with an image, featuring inspirational lyrics like ‘Believe in yourself and life will be yours’.

The tune goes on with the lyrics: ‘If you’re still breathing, there’s no reason to hesitate. Shake off your thoughts, you can’t miss this unique opportunity. Maybe it’s a good fit.’

Last year, millions grew fond of Freddy as he starred alongside his father on the TV show “Celebrity Race Across The World.” During their journey, personal reflections and disagreements were captured by cameras, with a notable focus on Freddy’s upbringing being one of the main subjects of their conflicts.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as follows: Back in 2009, when I was just 20, my brother Bobby, slightly older at 22, found ourselves moving in with Jeff, following the unfortunate demise of our beloved mother Jade from cervical cancer. We were only three and four years old then.

Ever since then, the brothers have taken distinctly separate routes in their lives. Not too long ago, news emerged about Bobby, formerly known for his acting on EastEnders, intending to relocate to India, where he plans to deepen his commitment to the Hare Krishna faith.

During his teenage years, model and TV host Freddy grappled with issues such as substance abuse and required hospitalization in mental health facilities.

Jeff, a renowned parenting advisor on ITV’s This Morning, has often attributed his son’s instances of deviating from the right path to Jackiey Budden, Freddy’s grandmother.

She openly acknowledged during her daughter Jade’s upbringing that she struggled with substance abuse, specifically referring to herself as having an issue with harder drugs. However, she has refuted allegations suggesting she was responsible for introducing her son Freddy to cannabis use.

Despite viewing her as a negative influence on his son, Jeff resorted to legal measures in a desperate attempt to separate them. However, Freddy firmly rejected this, stating that he was willing to disregard any court decision and travel overseas just to spend time with Jackiey.

He declared emphatically that no obstacle would hinder his visit to see his beloved Nana. She was family, serving as a cherished stand-in for the mother he had lost, he explained. It so happened that he resided, intermittently, with Jackiey in her apartment in Bermondsey, located in south-east London, over a prolonged period of time.

After a period of six months, Freddy made an unexpected change. Last week, in a shocking turn of events, Freddy, who had earlier maintained that he was never influenced by his grandmother’s actions to use drugs, accused her of introducing him to potent marijuana when he was only 12 years old.

In his latest podcast, titled “A Load Of Old Cobblers”, he mentioned that it was his grandmother who first introduced him to marijuana at the age of 12 and sparked his interest in it.

I started smoking at the age of 12, went to rehabilitation, was placed under legal guardianship, and experienced periods of severe mood swings. My life journey has been challenging, filled with ups and downs.

I’ve read everything he’s said about me, and I just can’t fathom him making such statements. It simply isn’t true – I find it hard to believe.

Freddy used to smoke with his friends when we were kids, well before our mutual smoking experience started. His association with the wrong crowd wasn’t due to my influence.

What I’ve always aimed to accomplish is ensuring his safety and providing a secure haven whenever needed – and it truly saddens me that he would act in such a way, causing me distress.

It seems quite likely that Jeff’s wife, whom he fondly calls his ‘little princess,’ is the one behind this plan. However, I’m unsure as to the motive because things were previously going well for him.

Today, Freddy is spending an increased amount of time with his artist wife Kate, his father, and at their residence close to Harlow, in Essex. Many people share this sentiment: They hope that the upcoming fatherhood experience will inspire him to straighten out his life and mature further.

Freddy expresses his desire to live independently, but he’s currently unemployed and won’t have access to his mother’s funds until he turns 25. Consequently, he needs to figure out how to afford his own rent before that age.

His modeling aspirations haven’t gained momentum as much as he anticipated, and he hasn’t appeared on television for some time. However, with fatherhood around the corner, he finds himself needing to secure new opportunities soon.
