Jeff Brazier’s youngest son Freddy has revealed he’s getting treatment in Marbella as he wants to “get clean” and have a “healthy relationship” with his dad and family
Jeff Brazier’s son Freddy says he’s heading to rehab in Marbella.
Freddie, the 20-year-old son of Jeff and the late Jade Goody, has admitted he’s been addicted to “smoking” since the age of 12. He says he said it started out as a “bad coping mechanism” but turned into an “addiction” and now wants to turn his life around.
It’s been reported that Freddy’s relationship with dad Jeff is strained and that Freddy has moved in with his grandmother Jackiey Budden – Jade’s mum. It emerged that TV star Jeff has launched legal action against Freddy’s gran to keep them apart following concerns for his youngest son’s wellbeing.
Freddie took to Instagram on Friday (June 6) to reveal that he’s jetting off to rehab in Marbella in order to give himself the best chance at getting clean. He said he wanted to be “happy” and also shared that he’d met someone he “wants to get to know”.
He wrote: “I’ve decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I’m in England I won’t take getting clean seriously. I’ve been smoking from the age of 12 and it’s time to stop. It was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK.
“I’ve found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I’m happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself.
Freddy admitted there were divisions in his family and that he felt like he was “in the middle” of a conflict. He mentioned dad Jeff and his gran specifically, stressing that he wants to have good relationships with both of them.
He continued: “I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I’m in the middle and have to choose a side.
“I haven’t been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now. I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.
Freddy concluded: “Every day is a new story about me and my Nana and father. It’s getting boring now. Mind your business and have a good rest of the week x.”
Last year, it was claimed Freddy often visits his gran after arguments with Jeff. A source told the Mail: “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.”
Last year, Jeff and Freddy did Celebrity Race Across The World together, where the TV presenter confessed that his son “isn’t at home loads” and he was eager to deepen their father-son bond during the programme.
“D’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,” Jeff shared. “[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.”
