Jeff Brazier reveals why son chose to spend Christmas with Jade Goody's mum

Jeff Brazier hit the headlines on Christmas Day when he took to Twitter to reveal that one of his sons wasn’t with him for the festive holiday, with 13-year-old Freddie opting to spend it with his grandmother instead.

Now Jeff has praised the teen’s decision, revealing that it was the late Jade Goody’s mum who Freddie had gone to see after learning that she would otherwise be alone for Christmas.

Speaking to The Mirror, Jeff explained: “Freddie asked me a week before Christmas and I gave him some time to decide. Freddie is very big-hearted. He didn’t want his grandma to be on her own so it was the two of them together.”

Admitting that he missed his youngest son at the time, Jeff continued: “What matters far more to me is that this young boy can express concern in such a way.

“It was really beautiful of him and I could see it meant the universe to his gran and if Jade was watching then it would have given her immense satisfaction to see too.”

Tweeting a photo of himself with 14-year-old Bobby at the beach on Christmas Day, Jeff wrote: “Just Bob and [me] this morning.

“Missing Fred today but his kindhearted desire to keep his Nan company so she wasn’t on her own this Christmas isn’t something I can stand in the way of, so must encourage.

“Proud of him.”

Freddie and Bobby were just four and five years old when their mum Jade died from cervical cancer in 2009, with Jeff going on to raise the boys as a single parent following her passing.
