Jeff Brazier has once again made his opinion clear on his son Freddy Braizer’s relationship with his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden – as the family rift continues.
The rift between the TV presenter and his younger son began over the son's relationship with his grandmother, who is the mother of the late Jade Goody.
Jeff is reportedly seeking legal advice to prevent ongoing contact between Freddy and Jackiey, with the star believing that Jackiey is "detrimental to Freddy's wellbeing", according to family friends.
The rift appears to be longstanding, with Jeff previously refusing to allow Jackiey to attend when his elder son Bobby competed on Strictly Come Dancing.
Despite Freddy now being 20-years-old and legally an adult, Jeff has reportedly consulted lawyers hoping to prevent ongoing contact with Jackiey.
The reasons behind Jeff's concerns haven't been fully disclosed publicly.

There are concerns that Jeff's attempts to block contact between Freddy and his grandmother could potentially damage his own relationship with his son.
Jeff joined the 2025 cast of BBC’s Pilgrimage this year – The Road Through the Alps – which follows the celebrities along a revived medieval Catholic route.
They will travel from just outside Innsbruck on the Austrian Camino and finish near Lake Zurich in Switzerland.
Speaking about his time on the show, his spiritual journey and whether it impacted his thoughts on the family feud, Jeff admitted the time and space “clarified the direction I needed to go in.”

Referencing Jackiey, he told RadioTimes: “You could leave me on a hilltop for two years and I would not see it differently.”
Speaking on Jade’s death and his faith beforehand, Jeff noted: “My early reflection on God was that if there is a God, then these things would not have happened to me.”
Raising his two young sons alone changed his perception, with the star noting: “By the time the boys lost their mum, turning to God was not an option. I just knew I had to [raise them].
“I had a can-do attitude. But it was a shield and I was denying myself all the emotions.”

During the new series, the seven pilgrims begin their Camino in the picturesque village of Inzing, 17km outside the Tyrolean capital.

Over twelve days, they will face strenuous climbs, high into the Alps, even reaching the snow line.
They will follow the ancient path west across the Arlberg Pass, the highest point on the Camino, and continue to their final destination in the foothills of the Swiss Alps, Einsiedeln Abbey. Originally inspired over a thousand years ago by followers of the famous hermit St Meinrad, the abbey attracts almost a million pilgrims and visitors every year.
They are drawn by its venerated Black Madonna, its unique history and the Benedictine monks who live and worship there.
