EXCLUSIVE: As Father's Day approaches we look at the bond between Jeff Brazier and his EastEnders star son Bobby Brazier as a source tells us 'they are such a strong unit'
Raising two young boys as a single dad is a hard task for anyone, but Jeff Brazier has gone above and beyond. When his ex-partner Jade Goody passed away in 2009 to cervical cancer, Jeff was granted sole custody of sons Bobby and Freddie, 19, and the trio have shared an unbreakable bond ever since.
Then, when 21 year old Bobby danced his way to the Strictly Come Dancing final in 2023, it was clear to see his biggest supporter was his dad. "You said something in the VT about making me proud of you? You and your brother achieved that a long time ago. Don't forget I've seen the journey and you both have my lifelong support & unwavering respect."
However, during Bobby’s stint on Strictly, his grandmother Jackiey Budden made headlines when she claimed that she had been “banned” from watching her grandson dance. Following these claims, it was reported that she and Jeff had been “feuding” for years. Writing in The Times, Jeff shared that things were rather difficult when Bobby was attending secondary school. He wrote, “Bobby was a joy up until 15 or 16, then he became a nightmare. A lot went on that I will never reveal — so many meetings at the school. The phone would ring and I’d think, ‘Oh, God, what’s he been up to now?’"
