EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has opened up about his brother Freddy for the first time amid their ongoing family feud – and it appears things are quite strained
EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has made a candid admission about his strained relationship with his brother Freddy, stating “there’s things I don’t like” about him.
This revelation comes as the family faces a rift, with Freddy spending more time with their late mother Jade Goody’s mum, Jackiey Budden, much to the dismay of their father, Jeff Brazier.
Breaking his silence on the feud, Bobby hinted that he and Freddy don’t always see eye-to-eye. However, he expressed optimism that their relationship will improve as Freddy matures.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Bobby said: “‘Freddy’s very sensitive and wants to please. And when he grows up a little bit that will serve him well.”
Bobby acknowledged that, like any siblings, they have their differences. “There are things I don’t like about him and there are things about me he doesn’t like. Freddy will be OK, I don’t know if he looks up to me, but I look up to him in many ways, but he’s a good boy.”
The brothers’ relationship has been strained, particularly after Freddy announced plans to attend rehab for addiction, only to abandon those plans and embark on a lads’ holiday instead. Their father, Jeff Brazier, has reportedly taken steps to prevent Freddy from seeing his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden, due to concerns over his wellbeing, reports the Mirror.
Freddy had previously stated his intention to seek help, saying: “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. I’ve 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.
“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.”
He continued: “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.”
However, his plans took a turn when he decided he didn’t need rehab. In another social media post, Freddy stated: “You know what I don’t need rehab! I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.”
Freddy and Bobby lost their mother Jade Goody to cervical cancer in 2009 and have since been brought up by their father Jeff.
