Freddy Brazier’s dad, Jeff, has reportedly taken legal action against the 20-year-old’s nan, Jackiey Budden – who is Jade Goody’s mum – in a bid to ‘keep him safe’

Freddy Brazier failed to turn up to his brother Bobby’s birthday yesterday – according to reports – amid rumours of a feud in the family. Freddy, 20, is said to be living at his nan, Jackiey Budden’s house, despite doting dad, Jeff Brazier, reportedly taking legal action against Jade Goody’s mum in a bid to ‘protect’ his youngest son.

On the weekend, Freddy appeared to defy his dad by posting a TikTok video of himself and Jackiey larking around in the sunshine in her garden in South London. And now it’s been reported that he skipped his older brother Bobby’s 22nd birthday on Monday.

The Sun reports there was “sadness” at the bash after Freddy failed to appear, with a source claiming that Bobby spent the day with dad and stepmum, Kate.

They reportedly said: “Bobby celebrated his birthday with dad Jeff and step mum Kate over the weekend. It was a really nice family occasion, but everyone really missed Freddie.”

Freddy was just four years old and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby was five when their mother Jade tragically died from cervical cancer in 2009.

They have been raised by their doting dad, Jeff, who heartbreakingly admitted he didn’t see much of his youngest son when the pair appeared in Celebrity Race Across the World last year.

According to the Mail on Sunday, Freddy is now living with Jackiey at her flat in Bermondsey. Those reportedly 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.”

The source added: “They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years. Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn’t worked.”

Freddy didn’t appear to let reports of his dad’s legal action against his nan affect him when he posted a video of himself dancing with Jackiey at the weekend.

Despite his dad’s concern about his relationship with Jackiey, 67, Freddy posted a TikTok video of the pair dancing in her garden in South London. Seen with his shirt off, sporting shorts, the model larked about in the sunshine while Jackiey, also in shorts, slippers and a mustard-coloured cardigan danced along.

Captioning the clip, which concerned dad Jeff was bound to see, Freddy wrote: “#fyp #explore #freddybrazier #jackieybudden #dancetrend.” Responding to the post, one of the lad’s followers said: “She’ll make you feel like you have a piece of your mum,” while a second added: “There’s just something about a Nana. That bond is important.”

The Mirror has contacted reps for Freddy and Jeff for comment on this story.

Parks and Recreation star Chris Pratt paid tribute to Jonathan Joss. The actor was shot dead after getting into a heated argument with a neighbour

Parks and Recreation star Chris Pratt paid tribute to fellow co-star Jonathan Joss after he was shot dead by a neighbour. The San Antonio Police Department in Texas as well as onlookers claimed the 59-year-old King of the Hill actor got into a heated row with a neighbour on the city’s south side over the weekend before he was shot.

Law enforcement told TMZ that the neighbour pulled out a gun during the argument and shot Joss several times before fleeing in a car, with the police arresting him a block away from the residence. A man called Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega was arrested and charged with murder for the horrific shooting.

Authorities released a statement at the time and wrote: “Officers were dispatched to the location for a Shooting in Progress. Once the officers arrived at the location, the victim was found near the roadway of the location. The officers attempted life saving measures until EMS arrived.

“EMS pronounced the victim deceased. Officers located the suspect who shot the victim and detained him. The suspect was transported to Headquarters for further investigation and then booked for murder. The investigation is still ongoing.

Following the news of his death, Parks and Rec star Chris took to his Instagram Stories to share a screengrab of the heartbreaking news.

“Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude. He played Ken Hotate in Parks and was also in Mag 7. Said to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones,” he captioned the post.

Fans also paid tribute to the actor, with one writing on social media: “This is absolutely devastating news. Jonathan Joss was such a talented actor, and his iconic roles brought so much joy to so many. What a tragic loss.”

Another devastated fan commented: “It absolutely shatters my heart to learn of the passing of Jonathan Joss, known and loved by many fans as the voice, heart, spirit, and soul of the character John Redcorn.

“He made a point to be involved in the fandom, and was so kind to all of us. He will never be forgotten!”

Joss’ husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, released a statement on the actor’s official Facebook page claiming the argument began when the couple were checking the mail “at the site of our former home”.

“When the man fired, Jonathan pushed me out of the way,” he said. “He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds.

“We picked Valentine’s Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future,” Gonzales posted before adding he was with Joss when he passed and ‘told him how much he was loved.’

Twins who played the role of Bethany Platt in Coronation Street between 2000 and 2007 took to social media to share a sweet snap of the pair enjoying a holiday in Thailand

Fans of Coronation Street have been left stunned after former stars looked unrecognisable almost two decades on from their on-screen exit. The twin sisters were last seen on the ITV soap 17 years ago.

Emily and Amy Walton were tasked with playing the role of Bethany Platt for seven years between 2000 and 2007. The sisters split the time for the role of the youngster, who is the daughter of Tina O’Brien’s character, Sarah Platt.

The twin siblings were involved in a number of high-profile storylines during their stint on screen. One such story saw their character kidnapped by her paternal grandmother.

Their time on the show came to an end when Bethany and her mum relocated to Italy in 2007. The duo take a step out of the limelight following the exit and focused their attention on different career paths.

In 2016, Amy secured a place on the Great British trampoline team for the European Championships the following year. They had competed together in the British Trampoline finals.

Earlier this year, Emily uploaded an image to Instagram of of her and her sister. The duo looked happy together as they enjoyed a holiday in Thailand. The caption read: “The last of Thailand,” alongside a yellow heart emoji.

Despite the sisters leaving the role as Bethany, the character later returned to the Weatherfield cobbles. Instead of the sisters sharing the role, Lucy Fallon took over proceedings.

She took on the role in 2015 and was quickly involved in a number of nail biting scenes. These included being groomed by Nathan Curtis, who was played by Christopher Harper. She also had to get a stoma bag following a botched surgery.

Despite the character again leaving Corrie in 2019, she returned once more in 2023. Her time off-screen coincided with the birth of her first child. She later announced she was pregnant with child number two, meaning she was stepping away again.

At present, the door has been left open for the star to return, but she has hinted a last exit was for good. In February, Bethany left Manchester behind to start a new chapter in London after a turbulent year. Determined to leave on her own terms, she asked her mother, Sarah Platt, played by Tina O’Brien, to deliver a note to her ex, Daniel Osbourne.

In the emotional scene, teacher Daniel rushed to Bethany’s flat in a desperate attempt to speak with her, only to be misled and told she had already gone. His heartbreak was made deeper when Sarah handed him a thank-you card from Bethany.

The note read: “Dear Daniel, thank you for showing me your true colours. From Bethany.”

Gus Coral, a photographer who had a penniless band on a trip to the moon, took hundreds of candid photos six decades ago. The band are now world-renowned, and previously unreleased photos are available for viewing in a new exhibition.

More than 60 years ago, photographer Gus Coral discovered a treasure trove of previously unreleased images of The Rolling Stones.

100 candid photos will go on display in London from Friday, June 6th, in a new exhibition, Rolling Stones Unseen ’63, which will undoubtedly appeal to rockers fans.

The Stones’ first ever UK tour, which was captured by photographer Gus Coral in 1963, is depicted in the 1963 photos.

When Gus, a now-87-year-old man from Camden, North London, first met the then-poverniless blues loving band, who played as Little Richard’s band’s support act, Bo Diddley and The Everly Brothers, he was just 26.

Gus tells The Mirror: “I have almost 200 hundred images of The Stones in total which I took after I was invited to photograph them on their first British tour.

The majority of these photos have never been seen before because they have been hidden under my bed for so long, aside from a few that I have shown to some friends over the years.

One of my children once said, “Shouldn’t you be doing something with those? “, she said. “It was only thanks to that.” that this exhibit was created.

“So we are,” the statement read. 100 photos will be on display at the opening of the exhibition, and I’m looking forward to seeing them in public.

Some people have questioned why I’ve been holding onto them for so long, but my philosophy is that I wanted to take pictures that would be significant in the future and that would have a historical significance.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts’ first UK tour, which included stops in Cardiff, Watford, Southend-on-Sea, Hanley, Wolverhampton, and Cheltenham, were captured in Gus’ black and white images.

The Stones played two 10-minute sets at each venue, and Sharon Osbourne’s late father, music legend Don Arden, organized and promoted the tour, which gained them exposure and helped them become household names.

According to Gus, “I met The Stones through my friend, filmmaker Dick Fontaine, who worked for ABC Television at the time.” We had seen The Stones perform at the band’s home venue at The Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, west London.

Dick wanted to try to persuade ABC to produce a television series with them because he thought they were really talented. He already had a strong track record, having already filmed The Beatles.

The closest we could have caught them was in Cardiff. I believe Cardiff was the location of their second national tour. We left then off.

However, access to them was simple at the time. No press, “access all areas” passes required, and everything else, we just entered the theater.

“We went to meet them there after the guy on the Capitol Theatre’s stage door told us they were in the cafe around the corne. And then there was the show, where I had full access to the backstage camera; no other photographers were present.

The band’s debut single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s Come On, reached number 21 on the UK chart at the conclusion of their 30-date tour, indicating Gus that The Stones were on the verge of greatness.

“I was 26 when I took those photos,” I said. Possibly ten years older than them, perhaps. However, these photos show a very young The Stones. Gus chuckles, “So did I then,”

In these images, Mick Jagger appears to have a baby face, but it was all there. Like the seeds of who he was, you know. They were a blues band at the time. I was a real fan, and it wasn’t rock n roll. I kind of felt the blues’ energy strike me.

They contacted me after I took their photos in Cardiff to visit their studio in Holborn, central London, to record with them.

Just two two years later, in 1965, the The Stones took the music world by storm with (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, penned by Jagger and Richards, gave the band their first number one in the UK and the US.

The Stones are still rocking despite having sold 250 million albums worldwide and amassing $2.9 billion in ticket sales for the duration of their 63-year career.

And Mick, 81, Keith Richards, 81, and Ronnie Wood, 78, are back in London recording the follow-up to their 2023 studio album, Hackney Diamonds.

Nobody could have predicted how big they would have become, Gus says. “I knew they would make it.” Mick Jagger had great energy when The Stones had no money when I photographed the band in 1963.

“They are amazing that they are still going, as it is difficult to tour.” But I suppose Mick is the only one to blame. He has always been a fantastic figure. Without him, things wouldn’t have gone as planned.

Gus continues, “These photographs have been a closely guarded secret for over 60 years, seen only by a few people, and] I’m excited about transferring my exhibition to New York.”

Raw and ambitious, they “capture The Rolling Stones in a way unlike any other.” I’m thrilled to finally let everyone know about them.

• From Friday (June 6) through September 10th, the Rolling Stones Unseen ’63 exhibition will be on display at Dockside Vaults in London’s St. Katharine Docks.

Suzanne Shaw addressed her late father’s passing in 2012 on Vanessa Feltz’s 5 talk show this week about inheritance.

A former Emmerdale cast member has shared that they are estranged from some of their family following a “divide” over inheritance. The actor said this week that the apparent situation following the death of their father is “sad”.

Suzanne Shaw, now 43 – who played Eve Jenson on the ITV soap opera – lost her late father Vincent Crowshaw, who was 62, back in 2012. Vincent died just months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier that same year.

After ten years, Suzanne, who became famous as a member of the group Hear ‘Say, has claimed that she inherited “nothing” from him after his passing. She suggested that her step-mother received the majority of the inheritance.

Suzanne mentioned her late father whilst a guest on 5’s Vanessa yesterday afternoon. It came during a discussion, led by host Vanessa Feltz, 63, over whether children should receive the same inheritance in the case of a parent dying.

Vanessa explained to her audience throughout the segment that she knows of people who were “passed over” in a will. She claimed that it was because their siblings weren’t perceived as financially “set up for life,” but rather because they were.

Vanessa said, “It’s not that they really needed the money, but they did.” In a statement about those who didn’t receive the inheritance. Much more of the experience was that of being slapped in the face. a sense of being “given a blow from the grave,” in some ways.

Suzanne, who previously said that “communication is essential” and that “communication before it all happens” responded to host Vanessa by saying, “I went through it myself.” She continued, “My dad passed away very sadly.”

Then, she explained that her father had reconciled with Janet Kish, her mother, and that he had already died. A divided family, according to Suzanne. He got married again.

Suzanne continued, “My brother received some money, but his business was not what he received. The remainder was supposed to be distributed equally among my stepmum, but then she received all of it. She has since remarried. She has had no access to the family’s affairs. None of it helped me in any way. I am aware of how it feels.

Suzanne responded with a statement about how it feels. It’s like getting a slap in the face, she said. You seem to have been forgotten about in that circumstance. So, yes, I am aware of how it feels. It’s hard”.

Suzanne continued, “But what it causes is divide, and y’know we don’t no longer speak to those people who were a big part of our lives, and that’s sad. But it’s now estranged from some of her family.” That is already depressing. Therefore, I believe communication is essential in this circumstance.

Monday through Monday, from noon until midnight, Vanessa airs.

A Bentley once owned by Noel Gallagher has gone up for sale, with the news coming ahead of the musician going on the much awaited Oasis reunion tour with Liam Gallagher

A car once owned by Noel Gallagher has gone on sale priced at £1.2 million. The Oasis guitarist’s 1997 Bentley Turbo R has been listed, with it teased that the red vehicle is set to “strike a chord” with both fans and car collectors.

The four-door saloon car listed on Auto Trader was previously owned by Noel, 58, although he can’t drive. He once suggested that he gave up learning to drive after being mobbed by children whilst parked near a school on a lesson.

Speaking about the sale, Erin Baker, editorial director at Auto Trader, told PA: “Cars listed by music legends don’t come around very often, and Noel Gallagher’s Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books.”

They teased that it’s expected to attract attention. Erin told the outlet: “With over 80 million visits to Auto Trader every month, we expect this rock ‘n’ roll ride to strike a chord with music lovers and car collectors alike.”

The car has the number plate ‘OASI6 2’. It’s in reference to the Britpop band Oasis, which was formed by the likes of Noel’s brother Liam Gallagher in 1991.

Noel has previously spoken about having once learned to drive. He spoke about his experience to Zoe Ball whilst a guest on her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show two years ago.

Speaking about his driving lesson in the 1990s, he said in 2023: “I have had one driving lesson in the 90s and I was driving round a housing estate in Slough and [the instructor] said to me, ‘if you just indicate and pull over here’ then I pulled over.”

He shared: “She got out the car she said, ‘I’ll be back in a minute’, she came out with her mum, she drove me to her house. Then the local comprehensive bell went and they all came out. This is at the height of Oasis-mania and I was like, ‘never, never again’.”

As previously reported, Noel said on the radio show that he had been learning in a red Nissan Micra at the time. He recalled the vehicle having a “great big triangle on the top of it with an L”.

The news comes ahead of Oasis reuniting for a run of gigs this year in the UK and Ireland. The tour was announced last summer and comes following the disbanding of the group in 2009.

The tour will launch at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium next month. It will then be at Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park, over the course of July, August and September.

The group is then set to embark on a world tour. It includes gigs in Asia, South America, Australia and North America.
