Freddy Brazier is reportedly living with his grandmother Jackiey Budden – despite his dad Jeff’s ongoing legal battle with Jade Goody’s mother. Freddy, who has carved out a career as an influencer, reportedly stayed with Jackiey for a week, despite Jeff’s recent attempts to block contact between Freddy and his grandmother.
Tension has been brewing between Jeff and Jackiey for many years and last month it came to light that the TV presenter had taken legal action against Jackiey to block her access to Freddy. It was said that Jeff took legal action in a bid to “keep him safe.”
According to the Mail on Sunday, Freddy stayed with his grandmother at her flat in Bermondsey. Those close to the family told the publication: “Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they’ve always had a strong bond. Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much.”

They enjoyed playing with her dog with her dog and catching up at her flat, where he frequently visited over the years, the source continued. It hasn’t worked for what Jeff hoped to achieve through his legal efforts.
And according to footage from The Sun On Sunday, Jackiey and Freddy were caught smoking dubious looking cigarettes while on a day trip to London’s Tower Bridge.
Jackiey allegedly “acted erratically” while being silent to both visitors and viewers, according to the publication. According to reports, Jeff’s legal action allegedly heightened tension between the pair.
Jackiey claimed that she had not been aware of Jeff’s decision until it was made public when it was reported that he had filed a lawsuit.

Freddy and Jeff allegedly engaged in heated argument that caused the youngster to flee to see his nan earlier this year, according to sources.
According to a source, Freddy would frequently show up on the doorstep, sometimes very unsatisfied, and eager to see his nan. He and Jeff frequently argue, and sometimes there are bad rows, but they eventually get really, really bad, and he leaves.
While Jackiey has issues with her, and he’ll be the first to admit that she’s not the most perfect or archetypal grandmother, he can’t express his feelings to her at Jeff’s.

The family tension was laid bare in 2023 when Jeff put his foot down against Jackiey attending the BBC Strictly Come Dancing studio, to watch her other grandson Bobby Brazier perform.
The Mirror has reached out to representatives of Freddy and Jeff for a comment.

Lachie Stewart, a Scottish distance runner, passed away at the age of 81.
Stewart represented Great Britain at the 1972 Munich Olympics and won 10,000m gold for Scotland at the 1970 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.
He worked as a dental mechanic and was born Joseph Laughlin Stewart in Alexandria in 1943.
The organization’s 2018 induction ceremony honored Stewart, who added, “Everyone at Scottish Athletics and within our community sends our thoughts to Lachie’s family and his numerous friends across the sport.
Stewart, who had a brief illness, was reportedly taken to a hospital in Paisley.
He had complications with diabetes and had the lower half of his leg amputated in 2020 at the age of 77.
He told BBC Scotland at the time that his second and third toe ulcer didn’t seem to heal well.
“It quickly changed to the doctor’s advice, which is either having the pain, which was unbearable, or having the knee amputated.” Because I couldn’t stand the pain, I immediately told him to take the bottom of his leg off.
Billie Piper, the star of Doctor Who, has had a turbulent and dramatic life off the screen, including teen pop success followed by death threats and two content marriages.

It’s fair to say that Billie Piper’s path to becoming a critically acclaimed actress has been rocky, and her relationship hasn’t been easy either. But she’s also amassed an impressive net worth and has welcomed three children.
The 42-year-old Swindon native first gained notoriety as a mid-teens pop sensation almost 30 years ago. In the 2005 Doctor Who reboot, Rose Tyler replaced her as the actor, and she quickly reinvented herself. Surprising critics and viewers with her screen talent, she continues to do so today.
But off screen, Billie has endured some tough times. Here, the Mirror looks back at her life so far, from her difficult teenage years, popstar fame, turbulent romances and impressive net worth…

Amy Wineh’s classmates in school
Billie’s gifts were evident at a young age, and at 12 years old she made the move from Swindon to London to attend the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School. The school, which aims to develop future talent, has produced many household names, including Amy Winehouse, Billie’s childhood friend.
Billie provided some insight into what Amy really was like as a young girl in a recent episode of Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast. Remembering her as ‘ super clever, super bright’, Billie revealed: “She was always cheeky. You know, she was that way all her life. I adored the abstract work she would produce.

Sadly, Amy’s differences didn’t always go down well with her fellow pupils, and Billie remembers the iconic singer being badly bullied. She continued: “She got bullied quite a lot at school because she was doing her own thing, and she liked to push buttons, and do weird stuff. And I had a lot of space for that, but not many of the girls did. It wasn’t the easiest ride.”
Teenage fame struggles
At 15, Billie was a famous popstar living in her own flat(Image: Mirrorpix)
With her infectiously catchy 1998 anthem “Because We Want To,” Billie soared to fame at the age of 15. She became the youngest artist to debut at number one in the UK Chart with the hit, and singles ‘ Honey to The Bee ‘ and ‘ Girlfriend ‘ followed.
Although many teens from the 1990s would have been envious, having a singles chart success at such a young age had its challenges.
She discussed the absurdity of overnight fame while recalling how strange it must have felt to relocate to her own flat before her 16th birthday in a 2021 episode of Desert Island Discs. Speaking of her regrets, Billie told Lauren Laverne: “At the time, it felt really exciting and liberating and satisfied me with this quest to be a grown-up. Sometimes it felt particularly lonely and desperate.
At a very young age, I was seeing and experiencing a lot of life. Now, when I look back at it now that I have my own children, it seems unbelievably unsafe and plays in unhealthily to my parenting. “
Death threats
In addition to her younger years as a star, Billie went through a terrible campaign of harassment. In 2001, a woman penned abuse-laden messages which she then read down the phone to Billie’s record company, Blackfriars Crown Court was told in 2001.
She warned of decapitation, dismemberment, burning, flogging, and shooting and called the teenage chart-topper a “whore.” The woman allegedly started getting hurt because she believed the performer had given her a “dirty look” while watching a TV show she was an audience member.
Boyband heartache

When Ritchie and Ritchie Neville were just teenagers thrust into the spotlight with their respective pop careers, Billie and Ritchie met as teenagers. They were love’s young dream until Ritchie broke Billie’s heart when he cheated.
Ritchie expressed regret over his country-wide betrayal of a Russian beauty while on a country-wide tour, which led to the sale of her story to a British newspaper in 2000.
Speaking on the BBC documentary Boybands Forever he said: “It massively hurt somebody that I loved. I regret any pain I caused but equally I was 19 you know? I made a mistake. It ended a relationship.”
Wild age gap marriage

When she was only 18 years old when she and Chris Evans first married, just five months after their first date, Billie was only 18 years old. Given that Chris was 16 years her senior, the age gap romance raised eyebrows at the time, but Billie looks back on their time together as a period of fun and healing.
Opening up with her former Doctor Who co-star on David Tennant Does A Podcast With…, Billie reflected: “I went and got completely hammered for three years with Chris Evans. So much fun – just living very hard. But with a lot of love and a big dose of curiosity and just, yeah – amazing time.
“It’s funny because everyone saw that time in my life as being so awfully irresponsible, making me look like a *** and putting on weight. That stage of my life was very significant to me. I needed that. The best way for me to heal was to not appear perfect every day in a tabloid.
I can tell you that I was completely unhappy, starving, and dark inside every time I saw a picture of me looking flawlessly groomed and manicured within an inch of my life. And I haven’t brushed my hair since! “
We had an absolutely fantastic time together, she continued. You’re learning a lot, but I suppose that’s how it feels during your uni years. It was an incredible time and, not to undermine our relationship because we also had a very loving relationship. We had a very loving and caring relationship, not just “oh, we’re going out and getting f*****.”
Their tumultuous marriage ended in 2004 amid rumors of “screaming rows,” but Billie and Chris are still reportedly close friends today.
Kids and splits

Billie and Lewis actor turned right-wing activist Laurence Fox tied the knot a year later when they first met in 2006 and first met in 2006. They went on to welcome two sons, Winston and Eugene before calling time on their marriage in 2016.
In a recent interview with British Vogue the mother-of-two said of her controversial ex: “I’ve had to make some choices and a divorce speaks for itself. Or at least it should.” Laurence is often in the spotlight for his much-criticised views.
She continued in the interview, “I close everything down and follow a very strict routine with the kids so that there is consistency.”
They are close to me. That’s all I can do. It’s really, really difficult for me to stop people from telling me things. Everyone wants to talk about it, but I don’t read it. Sometimes I have to say to people, ‘ Please don’t bring this to me, now or ever'”.
She’s also written a touching open letter to Tallulah’s daughter.
She and Johnny Lloyd, the former Tribes frontman, had a relationship, and they welcomed their daughter Tallulah in 2019. After eight years together, they split in 2023, citing that their ‘ relationship ran its course’.
Billie discussed the challenges of juggling motherhood and a hectic career in a candid conversation that aired on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast in 2021. According to Billie, “Striking a balance is impossible, and once you let go and accept that, there are useful changes… I cry at the end of every day and spend an hour in bed saying, ‘ I’ll be better tomorrow, I swear. Everything will improve tomorrow as I read my parenting manual tonight.
In an open letter to Tallulah that was published in Stylist, Billie reflected on how terrified of having a daughter she didn’t want to be before she realized how excited she would be by her arrival.
She wrote: “You have restored – without knowing it – all my faith in strong female energy. I want to take pleasure in your beauty and learn from you. You are a different person from a single woman. And from listing all of my anxieties above (there are many and I promise to always work on myself), I’m at my most calm and able around you. You possess strength.
a large net worth

After her time on Doctor Who in 2005, Billie picked up leading roles in Secret Diary of a Call Girl and I Hate Suzie, which she co-created alongside playwright Lucy Prebble, as well as starring in the Netflix drama, Scoop.
Not to mention her impressive stage career, which included receiving the Laurence Olivier Award and the Best Theatre Actress for Great Britain in 2014, among other honors, for her lead role in Yerma in 2017.
Following her impressive career, she has amassed an impressive net worth. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actress is thought to have a net worth of $12 million (roughly $ 9 million).

At least 150 people have been killed and thousands have been relocated since Thursday due to flash floods caused by heavy rains in central Nigeria, according to rescue workers, and the death toll is expected to rise.
As roads are reportedly flooded down the Niger River and homes destroyed, search and rescue efforts are ongoing.
What is known about the floods and how susceptible is Nigeria to them.
What areas of Nigeria are flooded?
Mokwa, a market town in the north-central of Nigeria, was a victim of flash floods. The Nigerian Red Cross Society reports that it came after a heavy downpour started at 3 a.m. (02:00 GMT) on Thursday.
The trade center in the south and the north’s food growers meet at Mokwa, which is a crucial meeting and transit point. East of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, is about 350 kilometers (217 miles) by road. Niger, the fourth-largest state by area, has a population of 400, 000 people, compared to 400, 000 for Mowa, which has a larger area than Belgium or Switzerland.
How many people have passed away?
While search teams continue to find and find missing people and recover bodies, more than 150 people have been confirmed dead.
According to Ahmed Idris, a journalist from Mokwa, the death toll is likely higher because many victims are thought to have been swept down the Niger River.
When an official says 151 people are dead or missing, “you are likely to multiply that by two, three, or four,” he said.
According to Ibrahim Audu Husseini, a spokesman for the Niger State Emergency Management Agency, at least 3, 018 people have been displaced, 265 homes have been destroyed, and two bridges have been washed away during the floods.
More than 100 people are missing, according to Gideon Adamu, the head of the Red Cross in Niger State, who was speaking to the AFP news agency on Saturday. 121 of those injured are currently in hospitals.
As long as there are families crying out, Adamu said, “We can’t give up the search.”
In the deluge, Farida Auwalu, the only child from a 16-person family, lost seven children. Four of Farida’s children’s bodies have been discovered and interred.
She told Al Jazeera, “My hope is to see the remaining bodies, give them a decent burial, and have closure.”
What led to Nigeria’s flooding?
According to experts, climate change, unregulated construction, and poor drainage infrastructure have increased Nigeria’s frequency and severity.
Residents of Mokwa also believe a dam burst, which is a bigger issue, according to Idris, who is not yet verifying that. A fourth dam, Kainji, Jebba, and Shiroro, is being constructed in the state of Nigeria.
According to Ugonna Nkwunonwo, a flood risk analyst at the University of Nigeria, there has been a lack of political will to implement the solutions for them despite the identification of flood risks. People aren’t prepared for that kind of rainfall, he told Al Jazeera, and the amount of rain you can expect could probably arrive in one or two months.
In many places, there are inadequate drainage systems, and even the most effective ones frequently have clogged waste, accumulating water on the streets after heavy rains. Additionally, building construction in flood-prone areas has been hindered by rapid urban development and poor planning, which has reduced the land’s ability to absorb water. The land’s capacity to absorb rainfall is further diminished by deforestation for agriculture and development, which causes the land to flow more water.
Local leaders and residents want state and federal authorities to step in and offer long-term assistance and infrastructure to help them rebuild their neighborhoods and protect them from flooding.
Authorities have issued warnings to those living along river banks or those who live nearby, especially at the height of the rains, but every year, we continue to see more lives and property ruined as a result, Idris said.
What is the response of authorities?
Search and rescue operations are conducted by local volunteers, the Nigerian Red Cross, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), and the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
Additionally, President Bola Tinubu has mandated that emergency measures include temporary shelter and aid.
In a social media post on Saturday, Tinubu stated that “search-and-rescue operations are ongoing, and all relevant federal agencies have mobilized to support the state government’s efforts.”
Rescue and recovery efforts are hampered by the damage to roads and bridges, though.
Some flood survivors are battling to get basic medical care. No one helped the victims by bringing any money or food. Many people don’t have a place to sleep, Hassan Umar told Al Jazeera in Mokwa.
A major bridge that runs through the region’s northern and southern regions collapsed, causing stranded drivers and preventing vehicles from moving across the area.
What natural disaster has Nigeria experienced the most recently?
At least 30 people were killed and nearly half a million people were displaced by severe flooding in the northwestern city of Maiduguri in Borno State in September, causing the city’s two-thirds to submerged.
A prison that had been damaged by floods also had more than 200 prisoners escaping. The Alau dam collapse and weeks of heavy rain in northeastern Nigeria caused the disaster.
More than 1,200 people died and 1.2 million were displaced by flooding in at least 31 of the 36 states in 2024, according to NEMA.
Which Nigerian states are flood-prone?
From Wednesday through Friday, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency issued a warning about flash floods in 15 of the country’s 36 states, including Niger.
Low-lying states like Bayelsa, Rivers, and Delta in the Niger Delta region frequently experience flooding because of their coastal locations. Because they are located near major rivers, the northern states of Kogi, Benue, and Borno are also susceptible to floods.
The rainy season in the nation typically begins in April and lasts until October, when it is the wettest month. Because of inadequate drainage and the destruction of infrastructure during this time of year, problems arise every year.
Two pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia have been apprehended at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano after being discovered to have ingested illegal substances.
