Jade Goody’s mum, Jackiey Budden, made a shocking vow just two years before her grandsons’ father, Jeff Brazier, reportedly launched legal proceedings against the 66 year old. Jeff, who shares two sons, Bobby and Freddy, with the late Big Brother icon Jade, is allegedly trying to stop Jackiey from seeing his youngest son, Freddy, now 20. Reports previously surfaced that Freddy had a ‘secret feud’ with his dad, Jeff, 45, and would ‘storm out of the house’ after intense arguments, often heading to Jackiey’s flat in southeast London to unwind. During his stint on Celebrity Race Around The World, Jeff confessed he doesn’t ‘see loads of him’ because “Fred isn’t at home loads”.

Jackiey branded Jeff a “c**k” two years ago after sneaking into the National Television Awards to witness her eldest grandson, Bobby, scoop an award for EastEnders. She vowed to keep quiet about her feelings towards her grandsons’ father until they were older, despite admitting she “didn’t want to see” Jeff at the event. She told her followers: “I’m so proud of him [Bobby]. He’s incredible. They didn’t know I was there. I didn’t allow them to know I was there. I didn’t want to see their dad. He’s a c**k. But I’m going to wait until they’re older before I let rip.” It’s now reported that Jeff has initiated legal action and engaged a barrister ahead of an upcoming hearing, reports the Mirror.

A source told 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, insiders claimed that the arguments between Freddy and Jeff would escalate to such an extent that the aspiring model would storm off to visit his grandmother. “Freddy will often turn up on the doorstep, sometimes very unhappy, and wanting to see his nan,” a source revealed to the Mail. “He and Jeff often argue, the rows can be bad, things go really, really pear-shaped between them and that’s it, he leaves.” They continued: “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.”

Jeff admitted last year during Celebrity Race Around the World, where he participated with his youngest son, that he doesn’t see much of Freddy but was looking forward to spending time with him. As he geared up for an unforgettable journey, he expressed his anticipation with a touching revelation: “Do 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. [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.”. OK! has contacted a representative for Jeff for comment.
