Holly Swinburn, Freddy Brazier’s former partner, says the bulldog involved in the attack on the television personality had been mistreated.
Twenty-one-year-old Bobby Brazier, son of the late Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, was treated in the hospital after his dog, Pablo, bit him on the arm last week.
I’m absolutely heartbroken! This little guy, a tiny pocket bully, is being held by the police. They’ve given his current owner, Freddy, just seven days – until Tuesday – to find him a good home. If he can’t, they say they’ll have to euthanize him. It’s such a short time, and I’m really hoping someone steps up before it’s too late!
Holly, who shares a daughter named Isla with him, has pleaded with anyone able to adopt their dog to do so quickly, before it’s too late.
Sharing a photo of the pocket bully, she wrote in an emotional message: ‘This is Pablo.
I needed to rehome him because I was overwhelmed with a baby and a dog. Unfortunately, he was mistreated in his new home and reacted by defending himself, sometimes attacking others.
‘He’s the nicest dog and this is totally out of character for him. He wouldn’t hurt a fly.’
She continued: ‘Please if anyone has a good home for Pablo message me!
‘I don’t want to see him being put down and I can’t look after him and a baby by myself :(.’
Holly did not name who had ‘mistreated’ the pet.
The Daily Mail has contacted Freddy’s representatives for comment.
This announcement follows Freddy’s emotional revelation yesterday that he’s heartbroken about having to give up his dog, who bit him and caused an injury. He described the dog as being ‘like a son’.
Freddy explained to The Sun that the dog attacked him while he was picking it up from his grandmother, Jackiey Budden’s, house.
He described the attack, saying he initially felt no pain in his right arm. Then he noticed blood soaking through his tracksuit. When he looked, he saw a 3cm hole in his arm and was understandably terrified.
However, despite the ordeal, Freddy said he doesn’t want to lose Pablo.
He really wants his dog to come home, but his grandmother won’t let him bring him to her place, and his dad isn’t willing to take care of him either.
Honestly, it’s never felt like I had a pet; he’s truly family – like a son to me. It breaks my heart to say this, but he’s currently with the police kennels, and I’m facing the very real possibility that I won’t be able to see him again. It’s devastating.
Pablo assaulted Jackiey, and neighbors reported it to the police just a few days before he himself was injured by the animal.
After being bitten by his dog at his grandmother’s house in London, he required eight hours of hospital treatment and stitches on Monday.
According to The Sun, Jackiey was hurt trying to get Pablo away from him, and Freddy was both shocked and in considerable pain as a result.
The bulldog had previously attacked someone, and paramedics responded to a similar incident at the same location just last week.
On July 16th, a neighbor called the police and fire department after hearing Jackiey scream in pain as a dog attacked her, requiring her to receive medical attention.
Four days after the first attack, Pablo struck again, injuring Freddy and Jackiey badly enough that they both needed to go to the hospital.
Someone close to the situation shared with The Sun that the past few days have been incredibly upsetting. In the initial attack, Jackiey was by herself at home when she was seriously injured. Luckily, a worried neighbor heard what happened and called for help.
Police and firefighters responded to the incident, but thankfully it wasn’t severe, and they decided not to press charges.
Okay, so it happened again just a few days later, and honestly, it was even more terrifying this time. Freddy just came for Pablo again, but the whole thing was awful because you could just tell Pablo was still totally worked up and losing it. It was heartbreaking to watch, I was so worried!
Freddy initially went to the emergency room but left because the wait was too long. However, he had to return yesterday because his injuries were serious. He remained in the hospital overnight and received extensive care.
The last few days have been really tough, and Freddy is heartbroken. He loves that dog so much – Pablo is like one of the family.
This happened after Freddy broke up with his girlfriend, Holly, last July after a big fight over their dog.
Oh my god, can you believe it? Apparently, Freddy actually dumped Holly – the mother of his little girl! – and it was all over… his dog! The Daily Mail says they had a massive fight, and she tried to take his dog away from him, and that was it! He just couldn’t deal with it, and ended things. I mean, can you even imagine? A dog broke up a relationship! It’s so him, though, fiercely protective of that pup. I knew they were rocky, but wow. Just…wow.
The couple had a baby girl, Isla Jade Brazier, in March. They named her in memory of his mother, Jade Goody.
Last year, Freddy explained that he finds interacting with people exhausting, sharing this while volunteering at the London Dog Club dog daycare.
He seemed completely happy and at ease while sharing photos of himself with puppies, participating in dog agility courses, and having fun outdoors.
His post sparked some discussion because of its caption, which read: ‘Dogs or people – I’m team dog right now.’
Bobby, his brother and a star on EastEnders, commented with laughing emojis on a post. Freddy responded with a playful message: ‘People exhaust you, but dogs make you feel better!’
This happened after Freddy left the house he shared with his girlfriend, Holly, and their baby daughter in April 2026. The move followed an argument about his grandmother, Jackiey.
Reports suggest that problems arose in the couple’s relationship when Holly reportedly prevented Jackiey from seeing their daughter.
According to reports, Freddy left the family home and is now staying with his grandmother.
Days later, photos published by The Sun showed him carrying bags as he entered a home belonging to Jackiey in southeast London.
I’ve heard Holly’s worried about Jackiey’s impact on Freddy. Apparently, she thinks Jackiey’s lifestyle isn’t the best and has been leading Freddy down a bad path. It’s just sad to see, honestly, because I really care about all of them.
According to a source, he’s left without warning Holly, packing his belongings and leaving no indication of his whereabouts.
Holly is devoted to her daughter, Isla Jade, and is fully embracing motherhood. However, her relationship with Freddy seems different behind the scenes, despite the happy family image they present online.
The Daily Mail reached out to Freddy’s team for a statement, but they declined to offer one.
Last June, Freddy and Jackiey were seen smoking what appeared to be illegal cigarettes shortly after getting back together, even though Jackiey’s father, Jeff, had been trying to prevent them from seeing each other.
Freddy was seen puffing with his gran in front of tourists near Tower Bridge in south London.
He looked relaxed in a burgundy shirt and beige shorts. Jackiey wore joggers rolled up at the knees and had bandages on her hands. Witnesses told The Sun she seemed to be behaving strangely.
According to sources, the two individuals were openly smoking in a public place, clearly visible to tourists. The smell wasn’t like regular cigarette smoke, suggesting they weren’t smoking tobacco.
Jackiey stated that Freddy would be protected as long as he smoked with her, explaining she’d at least know what he was smoking since there were dangerous drugs available elsewhere.
Freddy Brazier dances with grandmother in defiance of dad’s legal battle
Freddy recently revealed in a TikTok video that he discovered his grandmother had been dishonest with him.
However, in December he appeared to have patched things up with her just in time for Christmas.
Last November, Freddy revealed that he had a mental health crisis and attempted suicide by deliberately crashing his car shortly before turning eighteen.
In a revealing TikTok video, he also posted a picture of his grandmother, Jackiey, and wrote: ‘I made an effort to build a relationship with my mother’s mother, only to find out she’d been deceiving me for years!’
It’s no secret that the duo have had a tumultuous relationship in recent times.
Jeff, Freddy’s dad, attempted to get a legal order last year to stop Jackiey from seeing his son because he worried she wasn’t a good influence on him.
Since her death, Jeff has looked after Freddy and his older brother Bobby.
After Jade passed away, Jackiey stepped in to help raise her sons, Bobby and Freddy. However, she and Jeff haven’t always gotten along over the years and have had several disagreements.
