EXCLUSIVEBombshell truth about why I don't speak to my dad Jeff: In his only interview FREDDY BRAZIER 告発する／非難するs his father of 存在 obsessed with money, controlling his every move and even SPYING on him
As a father and son 二人組 on the much-loved BBC show Celebrity Race Across The World, Jeff Brazier and his youngest boy Freddy won the hearts of millions of テレビ視聴者s.
Those watching were 即時に endeared to 甘い, good-humoured Freddy ? who was, of course, left without a mother when reality TV 星／主役にする Jade Goody died from cervical 癌 老年の 27 in 2009.
Freddy was just four, his brother, Bobby, five.
It fell to Jeff, a television presenter who has since carved out a niche as a parenting 専門家 on ITV’s This Morning, to bring Freddy and Bobby up as a 選び出す／独身 father.
And as Jeff and Freddy 乗る，着手するd on their trip to the Andes in southern Chile last year, fans watched how they 社債d as the 十代の少年少女 tried to come to 条件 with his beloved mum’s death.
There were, even then, 明確に fissures between the pair. A scene in the 開始 episode of the series showed Jeff walking away after Freddy （人命などを）奪う，主張するd that their family don’t speak 率直に to each other.
As they struggled to navigate their 旅行 through Brazil, both lost their tempers and Jeff 嵐／襲撃するd off. Freddy told the cameras: ‘Part of me （機の）カム on this race to open up with my dad and already he’s 嵐／襲撃するing off. That’s not good. He might not like what I say, I’m just trying to talk to him really, but it’s hard.’
At the time, their fallout was put 負かす／撃墜する to the 強調する／ストレスs and 緊張するs of filming in challenging 場所s.
Freddy, 権利, with Jeff on the BBC show Race Across The World. Freddy feels his father?is trying to 支配（する）／統制する his life and 破壊行為 his independence
Today, however, nine months after the show, Freddy, now 20, is ready to break his silence.
And in this heart-wrenching, no-持つ／拘留するs-閉めだした interview with the Mail, he says he feels that his father is trying to 支配（する）／統制する his life and 破壊行為 his independence.
‘It feels to me like he only cares about his own image. He doesn’t think about anything that 影響する／感情s anyone else, not even his own sons. I don’t want to see him, and I won’t see him next week on Father’s Day either,’ a forthright Freddy 宣言するs. ‘But that’s because I feel like I’m 存在 hung out. I don’t really deserve it.’
His words will surely be a 団体／死体-blow to Jeff who, in the 16 years since Jade’s passing, has always seemed like a 充てるd father ? 称讃するd by onlookers for his remarkable fortitude.
Indeed, his 関係 with his two sons has often seemed の近くに.
Who could forget Jeff’s delighted and 高度に public 元気づけるs for Bobby as he sat in the 厳密に audience every week while his popular son danced his heart out as a contestant in 2023?
Yet によれば Freddy ? an aspiring model who also 明らかにする／漏らすs that he barely speaks to his EastEnders actor brother ? Bobby and Jeff hardly have a 関係 any more, either.
‘We are all barely speaking,’ says an emotional Freddy.

At its root, the family 不和 appears to be 悪化させるd by Jeff 開始する，打ち上げるing a 合法的な 企て，努力，提案 to stop Freddy from seeing his grandmother Jackiey Budden, Jade’s mother.
That the once の近くに-knit family has been torn apart, says Freddy, is something that would have 荒廃させるd his late mum, who would have turned 44 last Thursday.
‘恐らく, he’s taking 合法的な 活動／戦闘 to stop me from seeing my nana, but nothing will stop me doing that. She’s my family.
‘And my mum would be upset if she was here to see him doing that. He still tries to 扱う／治療する me like I’m 13. I’m 20 years old.
‘He doesn’t let me do anything for myself.
‘I did Race Across The World with my dad before we fell out, but only because he really 手配中の，お尋ね者 to do it ? I didn’t,’ Freddy continues. It is, says 個人として educated Freddy, Jeff’s 態度 to fame which has driven his sons away.
He （人命などを）奪う，主張するs Jeff has an ‘obsession with image and making money’ ? which he feels might be the real 推論する／理由 behind his 企て，努力，提案 to stop Freddy from seeing Jackiey, who in the past has used ヘロイン and コカイン. Freddy says: ‘It’s always all about image. It’s all about money. That’s why Bobby moved out of my dad’s place, too. He’s living in London now instead, doing his own thing.
‘Me and Bobby don’t speak much either. I sent him a message to wish him a happy birthday but that’s it.
‘I used to be the middleman between my dad and ever あそこの. But now I can’t be bothered. I don’t care what happens. He’s the fiery one, I’m 冷気／寒がらせるd out ? I zone out and walk away when we argue.’
There are 明白に two 味方するs to every story and no 疑問 Jeff has his own 見解（をとる）s on this family fallout.
While Bobby is now living with friends in Soho, central London, Freddy has swapped Jeff’s house in Harlow, Essex, for his nan’s 会議 flat in Bermondsey, south-east London, where his mother Jade grew up.
He says he wants to live a simpler life, の近くに to his grandmother, his last link to his late mother ? and away from his father’s 支配するs.
He even sleeps in his mum’s childhood bedroom and it’s in this flat, he 主張するs, where he can ‘live 静かに, laugh, and be myself’.
Just last 週末, she and Freddy were seen smoking what appeared to be a 共同の ? and Freddy thinks this doesn’t fit with the clean-削減（する） image Jeff wants to portray.
Freddy 追加するs: ‘With my nan, we do fun things. Like dancing ビデオs. People think it’s just smoking because that’s what was in the papers, but I’ve got 負担s of ビデオs of us laughing and messing about. We have proper fun.’
But his father, he says, disapproves of their 社債.
‘He thinks me smoking 少しのd is because she spends time with me,’ he explains. ‘But I didn’t start smoking with Nana. He seems to think I started smoking when I was 16 with her, but that’s not the 事例／患者. It was years before that, with my mates. It’s just something we both like to do, so now we do it together いつかs.
‘I started smoking as a 対処するing 機械装置 ? because I just couldn’t 扱う what was going on in my life. It was stressful. Now I’m past that 行う／開催する／段階. It’s just something I enjoy. It gives me peace.’
But in a new 成果／努力 to keep them apart, Jeff has sought 合法的な advice and begun formal 訴訟／進行s to 試みる／企てる to 封鎖する Jackiey and Freddy from seeing one another 経由で the 法廷，裁判所s ? （人命などを）奪う，主張するing she is bad for his son’s mental health, にもかかわらず him 合法的に 存在 an adult.
Freddy first learnt of his father’s 成果／努力s through newspaper 報告（する）／憶測s, and says he has still not had an explanation or received any 公式の／役人 notification of the 訴訟／進行s ? which he 主張するs ‘are nonsense, it’s all just talk’.
He 追加するs: ‘Even if there was a 審理，公聴会 or 公式の／役人 letter or anything, I’m always going to see my nan. （裁判所の）禁止（強制）命令 or not.
‘If I can’t see her here, we’ll go to another country. Amsterdam, Jamaica ? doesn’t 事柄. She’s my family.’
Their family 不一致s are 長年の, Freddy explains ? 詳細（に述べる）ing a string of コンビナート／複合体 出来事/事件s in which father and son have not seen 注目する，もくろむ-to-注目する，もくろむ over the years which he 収容する／認めるs have left long-継続している emotional scars.
He also says that there was an 出来事/事件 that took place some years ago which 影響する／感情d his life 意味ありげに, and he believes Jeff didn’t を取り引きする it 適切な.
その上の 不一致s followed with his dad’s new wife, Kate Dwyer, who he has 以前 said he doesn’t like.
Freddy is unassuming, 静かな and 最初 surprisingly shy as he 雑談（する）s over a hot chocolate at a restaurant の近くに to his grandmother’s flat. And it’s すぐに （疑いを）晴らす he wants to carve out his own path away from reality television ? にもかかわらず his famous parents ? even turning 負かす／撃墜する lucrative 申し込む／申し出s from one of ITV’s biggest shows.
He scoffs as he 明らかにする／漏らすs how Love Island 生産者s 申し込む／申し出d him a slot on the 悪名高い dating show: ‘I’m on Instagram. I don’t need Love Island. I’ve got Love Island on my phone from my bed.
‘I need to do something without him [my dad]. I don’t want to be seen as “Freddy from Race with his dad.” I want to be known for something on my own.
‘I’m more 利益／興味d in modelling. I’ve got some good 適切な時期s coming up ? but this stuff with my dad isn’t helping that.’
Still, it hasn’t been 平易な. Freddy has struggled with his mental health, even 耐えるing periods under 医療の 監督 and rehab in his teens. But he says those days are long behind him.
‘I’m not a 危険 any more,’ he says. ‘I had my sprees, my manic episodes… That’s past now.’
Instead of taking 医薬 for his ADHD, Freddy self-manages his moods with cannabis, 主張するing it helps 静める his brain and get him to sleep. He believes the マスコミ and public are too quick to 裁判官 a habit like his.
‘Other people on reality TV shows do far worse,’ he says. ‘But no one knows because it’s not in the papers. I’ve seen it myself.’
Jade Goody and her sons Bobby (left) and Freddie in 2006?
Again and again, the conversation turns 支援する to his grandmother: ‘She’s always been there. Always will be. And she’s the closest thing to my mum. Mum would be really upset if she knew he was trying to stop me seeing her.’
Asked whether he would welcome 仲直り with Father’s Day approaching, Freddy doesn’t hesitate. ‘I’m not bothered. I used to be, but I’ve been the middleman for so long. Now, I’ve 選ぶd a 味方する. That’s the message. Just leave people alone to live their own lives.’
More than this, he 計画（する）s to see his late mother’s former boyfriend, Jack Tweed, in what is likely to be seen as a 残虐な 無視する，冷たく断わる to his dad.
Earlier this week, Freddy was pictured with a glamorous love 利益／興味, TikTok and OnlyFans model Tasha Newcombe, with the pair planning a holiday together in Turkey later this month.
At the same time, his father was seen playing ゴルフ 近づく his home ? looking noticeably pensive as he took a phone call.
‘She’s really nice,’ Freddy says of Tasha ? who has hundreds of thousands of social マスコミ 信奉者s. ‘She’s very supportive.
‘We’re having a good time at the moment ? and she makes a fortune online doing her thing. She’s been good for me.
‘I’m in a good place. I just want to live my own life, 静かに and happily, with the people who really 事柄. I have no 計画（する）s to see my dad.’
