Jeff Brazier<\/a> has reportedly taken legal action in a bid to prevent his son Freddy, 20, from seeing his maternal grandmother,<\/a> Jackiey Budden.<\/p>\n

Jade Goody\u2019s ex is said to be taking steps to protect Freddy from what he alleges is an \u2018incredibly detrimental\u2019 relationship and has hired a barrister ahead of an upcoming hearing.<\/p>\n

As Jade and Jeff\u2019s son <\/a>hits the headlines, we take a look inside his life, from his emotional TV appearance alongside his dad<\/a> to his relationship with his grandmother\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n

Freddy’s early years <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The late Jade Goody had two children during her relationship with This Morning<\/a> presenter Jeff Brazier. Bobby, born in June 2003, and Freddy, born in September 2004.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Jade was diagnosed with cervical cancer while appearing on Indian reality TV show Bigg Boss. She was later told that the cancer had \u2018advanced\u2019 and was life-threatening and was given a 65% chance of survival.<\/p>\n

Sadly, on March 22 2009 Jade died in her sleep at the age of 27, with then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown paying tribute to \u2018a courageous woman both in life and death and the whole country has admired her determination to provide a bright future for her children\u2019.<\/p>\n

Freddy opened up on the loss of his mother while appearing on Celebrity Race Across The World alongside his dad Jeff, leaving viewers of the show \u2018heartbroken\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018I lost my mum when I was four and that was on \u00adMother\u2019s Day<\/strong><\/a>, which is really hard. I don\u2019t really like showing my emotions. I don\u2019t even speak to my dad much about my mum either. I just avoid it. I prefer to bottle it up.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t want to feel like I\u2019m a burden to them. A lot of my memories that I have of my mum have come from watching a documentary, YouTube<\/strong><\/a> clips, newspapers, they are not my memories.\u2019<\/p>\n

While holding back tears, he continued: \u2018I don\u2019t really remember being held by my mum. If I had more memories of her, it would have made it a whole lot harder for me.<\/p>\n

\u2018But I think I would rather that than not really remember the things that I had done with my mum. It\u2019s just life really and I\u2019ve kind of accepted that.\u2019<\/p>\n

ADHD diagnosis <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Freddy emotionally discussed his ADHD diagnosis on the show, saying he felt \u2018inadequate\u2019.<\/p>\n

Jeff said he was \u2018proud\u2019 to see his son persevere with tasks and try his best even if he felt he was \u2018no good at it\u2019.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the camera, he went on to explain how his son\u2019s strengths were \u2018absolutely numerous\u2019, but that he \u2018struggled to see it in himself\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018A lot of the time I think he sees himself as being inadequate and inferior and not enough,\u2019 he shared.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his difficulties while in the classroom, Freddy then admitted he found school \u2018tough\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was that kid in class who struggled, and my concentration wasn\u2019t the best and I was a bit of a joker,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Freddy then went on to explain how he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder aged 10.<\/p>\n

\u2018I didn\u2019t mean to misbehave, but I didn\u2019t know how to cope with everything that was going on. I don\u2019t think I was bad, but I wasn\u2019t good,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n

Going on to speak about his son, Jeff said he knew Freddy would \u2018go on to do something amazing in his lifetime\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018We need the pioneers and the people who give a completely different opinion, and that\u2019s what Fred\u2019s role is going to be. I see it, I\u2019ve always seen it, and I look forward to him realising it one day, where it will all click and fall into place,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Relationship with Jackiey Budden<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to reports, Freddy has a close relationship with his grandmother,former Big Brother star Jackiey Budden, 67,  and will often leave the family home to stay with her.<\/p>\n

Jackiey was married to Jade’s dad Andrew, who suffered from a heroin addiction until they separated when Jade was just two years old.<\/p>\n

Jackiey reportedly ‘comforts Freddy when he argues with his dad’, with a source telling the Mail: \u2018Freddy will often turn up on the doorstep, sometimes very unhappy and wanting to see his nan.<\/p>\n

\u2018While Jackiey has her issues \u2013 and will be the first to admit she isn\u2019t the most perfect archetypal grandmother \u2013 he can share his feelings with her which is something he can\u2019t do at Jeff\u2019s.\u2019<\/p>\n

Things are seemingly hostile between Jeff and Jackiey, after she branded him a ‘c**k’<\/a> after Bobby’s Nation Television Awards speech after he picked up the gong for rising star for his role in EastEnders.<\/p>\n

However, Jeff is now reportedly taking action to prevent Freddy from seeing Jackiey, with a source telling The Sun:<\/a> \u2018This 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.<\/p>\n

\u2018The 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.\u2019<\/p>\n

Metro has contacted a representative for Jeff and Freddy for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n
