Freddy’s baby news is also said to have played a part, with Jeff and Bobby’s support now clear for all to see. While he has remained silent on the pregnancy, Freddy returned to social media to share a cryptic post about preferring dogs to people.
He could be seen surrounded by a group of dogs while a huge smile on his face as he asked his followers: “Do you Prefer dogs or people?” Freddy answered himself as he added: “I personally at this moment in time prefer dogs.”
His older Strictly Come Dancing star brother Bobby left a string of laugh crying emojis on the post, which prompted Freddy to open up more. He said: “People are draining, dogs are healing!”
Bobby decided to step in and offer support to his younger brother as he replied: “People that do draining things together are draining i guess? Good news is There’s great people waiting to love and serve the deepest part of you.
“With that being said those dogs look like they love you very much.” Dad Jeff also shared his support to Freddy as he commented: “Love this Fred. This was made for you!”
Last week a source explained: “It has been one of the things that has really brought Freddy and his dad back together but it’s so devastating that Jade isn’t here to see it.
“Jeff was one of the first people Freddy decide to confide in to ask for advice, and he stepped up straight away and wanted to help in any way he could,” a source told the Mail on Sunday.
Jeff has raised both his sons as a single dad after the death of their mum Jade Goody to cancer in 2009. Bobby was just five at the time while Freddy was four.
Last month, Freddy decided to lay bare the extent of what he has been going through after revealing he was going to rehab earlier this year. “I’ve been smoking since I was 12,” he said.
“I’ve been to rehab, I’ve been sectioned, I’ve had manic episodes, I’ve been in cells. There’s been a real journey and it’s been a tough one. My nan was definitely the person who not only introduced me to weed but got me hooked,” Freddy said.
Addressing his relationship with dad Jeff and why he spent so much time with his nan, Freddy sadly explained: “I feel like if I didn’t prioritise the relationship with my mum’s mum Jackiey… I was scared that if I wasn’t [around her], she’d kill herself.

“And I had that in my head for so long to the point where I pushed my dad away and I was at my nan’s for months, go on mad ones…” Jackiey dismissed Freddy’s claims, insisting she wasn’t to blame for any trouble and claiming the youngster had got in with a ‘bad crowd.’

Following the announcement that he will become a father, Freddy Brazier made a cryptic comment about preferring dogs over people. The 20-year-old model has received public support from brother Bobby and father Jeff Brazier in exchange for a baby from his ex-girlfriend.
He is said to be getting full support from his TV host father Jeff, who he recently reconnected with despite their tense relationship. Freddy had recently opened up about his “tough” addiction struggles in a statement.
He claimed that his grandma Jackiey Budden, the late Jade Goody’s mother, “hooked him on drugs” when he was just 12-years-old. After Freddy made the decision to live with Jackiey, Jeff had intervened to halt their communication.
In the wake of the news (@freddybrazier_/Instagram), Jeff is alleged to be supporting Freddy.
Freddy and his dog were pictured on Instagram (freddybrazier_/).
According to some, the baby news caused the father and son to rekindle their bond and brought them together once more. Jeff is being “blinded” by Freddy’s news, a friend claimed. However, he is doing everything in his power to support his youngest son.
Freddy has now taken to Instagram to post a photo of himself surrounded by dogs for the first time since learning the news. He posed the question, “Do you prefer people or dogs?”
Freddy responded to his own question by saying, “I personally prefer dogs at this time.” When Freddy responded, “People are draining, dogs are healing,” his brother Bobby left a string of laugh-crying emojis under the post.
Bobby’s brother responded in response, “People who do draining things together are draining, i suppose. The good news is that there are wonderful people waiting to adore and revere you. Despite what being said, those dogs appear to be very fond of you.
Love this Fred, Dad Jeff wrote. “This was made for you”
It has been one of the things that has really brought Freddy and his father back together, according to a source who was present last week. “Jade isn’t here to see it because it’s so devastating.
According to a source, “Jeff was one of Freddy’s first confidants when he wanted to ask for advice,” and he immediately stepped up and vowed to assist wherever he could.
Jeff took to Instagram to share a photo of him posing up with a pal and showing no signs of being upset about Freddy’s pregnancy news. The TV star accompanied the image with the song “Life Will Be” by Cleo Sol, which had uplifting lyrics like, “Life will be just you believe in you.”
After their mother Jade Goody passed away from cancer in 2009, Jeff raised their sons as a single father. Freddy was four years old at the time, while Bobby was just five.
After revealing he was going to rehab earlier this year, Freddy made the extent of what he has been going through. He said, “I’ve been smoking since I was 12.”
I’ve been to rehab, I’ve had manic episodes, I’ve been sex, and I’ve been in cells. A real journey has been taken, and it has been challenging. My nan unquestionably became the one who not only got me hooked on weed, Freddy said.
Freddy sadly apologised for his time and relationship with his nan and said, “I feel like if I didn’t prioritize the relationship with my mum’s mum Jackiey, I wouldn’t have given it any thought.” She threatened to commit suicide if I [were not] around her.
And I spent months at my Nan’s for months, go on mad ones, thinking about that for so long. Freddy’s claims were refuted by Jackiey, saying that the youngster had a “bad crowd” and that she wasn’t to blame for any trouble.
Before he and I ever smoked together again in Essex close to Jeff’s home, they got into some hostile crowds, but it was not me,” she said.

Victoria Beckham, 51, has admitted that having a skin condition makes her feel “self-conscious” as she teased her fans with her beauty routine.

Victoria Beckham, 51, has candidly revealed her struggles when it comes to her skin. And the former Spice Girl has admitted the woes have her feeling self conscious.
Victoria, who is experiencing family feuds in additions to skin battles, took to Instagram to talk about her preferences when it comes to makeup. The star admitted she much prefers the “natural” appearance and confessed that she has to be careful with what products she uses due to having “struggled with my skin”.
Not the first time she has admitted to having a problem with her skin, which she previously described as “problematic.” And before her twenties, she acknowledged having acne issues in her teenage years.

However, Victoria gave viewers a glimpse of what she does as she discussed her beauty routine on social media. Posh claimed she uses products from her own line to “wake up” her skin while wearing a dressing gown and holding her hair in a white towel.
There is nothing worse than having a foundation that fits your creases, she said. I prefer flawless skin because it keeps my skin looking like skin and sees it through the foundation.
I’ve been very honest about how my skin has affected me, so I’m careful to avoid using anything that will irritate it. This formula is fantastic because I have a lot of sun damage and this blurs and filters that too. I’ve been so self-conscious about having bad acne.
The product gives me a beautiful shine. I’m obsessed with foundation and don’t like to feel like my skin is super tight. The perfect amount of coverage is provided, but it looks so natural.
The mother-of-four then continued to claim that the products left her “FLAWLESS FROM THE FIRST DROP” after showing herself using them.
Captioning the upload, Victoria wrote: ““This is the first foundation that feels like nothing, yet truly does everything. We created The Foundation Drops for minimalists like me. The formula melts into your skin for a naturally flawless complexion and nourishes it with Augustinus Bader’s TFC8®️ technology as I wear it.” — Victoria’.”
She appeared to be concentrating on her work after returning from a trip with her family to celebrate Romeo’s birthday.
Although the majority of the family was present, Brooklyn, the family’s eldest son, was once more absent as rifts between the once close-knit group continue.
Brooklyn once more chose not to make a special occasion for his family known. It came after his father’s 50th birthday and his knighthood were stolen.
Brooklyn and the Beckhams have stayed quiet on the feud, but it’s clear all is not well between the group, with Brooklyn continuing to post memories with his wife Nicola Peltz in their stateside life.

Fans are concerned that DI Costello’s mysterious phone call to an unidentified person on Coronation Street won’t turn out well for the newlywed DS Lisa Swain.
DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) accidentally let slip the name Tia Wardley to DC Green on Wednesday’s Coronation Street and he immediately went digging(Image: ITV)
Coronation Street fans are growing increasingly worried about DI Costello’s intentions. The ITV soap aired its latest episode on Wednesday night, and everything got off to a glowing start.
After Carla Connor (Alison King) suffered multiple failed attempts at proposing to her girlfriend Lisa Swain, the Detective Sergeant (Vicky Myers) took matters into her own hands and popped the question on the cobbles in front of the Underworld factory. Carla, who has buried two husbands and divorced two others during her time in Weatherfield, gleefully accepted.
But everything happens as viewers try to discover what Lisa has hidden in her past. Lisa, who is the first wife of her daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin), was killed in the line of duty when she first arrived on the scene. Carla has been attempting to unravel the mystery while the viewers are unaware of how this happened.

When she was visiting Logan Radcliffe in prison some weeks ago, she passed him the name Tia Wardley. Carla’s Google searches on the name were fruitless and when she told Lisa about it, she was told to forget about it. It even caused a row last week when Lisa discovered a piece of paper with the moniker on it in the recycling bin.
However, Lisa herself revealed the mysterious name to her coworker DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) in the cafe as the happy news of their engagement spread throughout the Manchester backstreet.
She said, “I don’t care,” when she learned Logan’s uncle had been imprisoned. With the least amount of conspiracies possible, I want to enjoy today. However, Kit responded, “He might have Costello-related information. or Becky.
You’re as bad as Carla! Lisa retorted while keeping her breath. When she visited Logan, she looked like a dog with a bone, and all he did was give him a Tia Wardley-related dead-end lead. It failed to succeed. And that has caused enough issues for the two of us to resolve”! Kit, however, was already puffed up by the strange name and began to look for it.

After making a phone call at the station, Kit learned that Carla had been the last one to visit him, and it was assumed that she had been the last one. The DC then made the decision to dig on the computer, but DI Costello discovered him after work and led him there.
Costello reportedly made a phone call himself just before the episode’s conclusion. Costello said, “Just listen, no information about who was on the other end was provided.” DC Green has been perusing the internet. I found him earlier by searching for Tia Wardley’s name alongside Radcliffe’s because he has Tia Wardley’s name from someone.
” Don’t worry. It is in your hand. I believe DS Swain has been having an earworm lately. She won’t find comfort in being too close. Costello responded, “It’s okay. The call recipient’s response could not be heard. I’ll handle myself with Swain.
After the enigmatic phone call, fans immediately expressed their opinions on social media, with one user saying, “You may think we are in for a bumper ride coming up with #swarla DI Costello, you will find that Logan is the one who mentioned Tia Wardley first” Logan>, Carla>, Lisa>, Kit. “
At the end of the episode, DI Costello (Daon Broni) made a mysterious phone call where he promised to ‘deal with Lisa’ himself (Image: ITV)
Another person remarked, “Wow, Corrie Ep was amazing, thank god Swarla are engaged now, but Costello needs to be caught out now because I don’t trust him!”
Another said it might be related to drama that has already been teased, such as “So what if Costello actually gets someone to run Betsy over to keep Lisa busy and from looking more into Tia Wardley &,” “It wasn’t just a coincidence that they were driving a stolen car at the time and will likely be held responsible for it.”
A fourth questioned, “Cosciutto, are you talking about that as well?” A fifth person said, “I don’t want this guy to be the villain, I actually hate you,” and happiness won’t last long because of the ominous undertones of Costello looming in the distance.
On ITV1, Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 p.m. On ITVX, episodes can also be downloaded.

Jake Wood’s personal life from holiday horror to sobriety amid EastEnders return(Image: Instagram)
Jake Wood has finally made his long-awaited return to EastEnders after four long years.
The actor, 53, who plays Albert Square’s biggest womaniser – Max Branning – has made an epic and unexpected return as viewers finally discovered who it Max behind the mysterious phonecalls being made to Zoe Slater following her recent return and reunion with estranged mum, Kat Slater.
When he left the BBC soap, Jake’s final scenes aired in February 2021, although it was previously announced in September 2020 that he would depart after 15 years on the show. Jake first appeared on Albert Square way back in 2006 when his character Max arrived with wife Tanya and their two daughters Lauren and Abbey.
Now that Jake has finally made his comeback to Walford, we take a look at his personal life behind-the-scenes when the cameras stop rolling.

Marital bliss
Jake’s character Maxis known for his lengthy string of complicated relationships, and difficulties keeping to one woman at a time.
However, the actor himself remains positively smitten with his loving wife of over 22 -ears, Alison Wood. The couple met back in 2001, when Jake was just 23, and have been by each other’s side ever since.
In 2017, the happy couple decided to celebrate their enduring love for each other by renewing their wedding vows in a festival-themed ceremony, surrounded by loved ones and, of course, plenty of fellow soap stars.

Opening up about the secret to their successful marriage, Jake told OK! Magazine: “We obviously love each other a lot but also we’ve always wanted the same things. You’ve got to work hard at it and you’ve got to talk. Alison’s taught me that.”
He added: “We always have a date night once a week when we just hang out, catch up and talk. It’s a chance for us to check in with one another to make sure we’re still on track.”
Jake shared a sweet black and white couple’s snap via Instagram, alongside the caption: “Wedding anniversary today, 22 years married to this incredible woman. We’ve had so much fun over the years, plenty more to come. Luckiest man.”
Family life

Life in the Branning household was certainly eventful, with poor Max even having to suffer through being buried alive in a coffin by vengeful wife Tanya (Jo Joyner).
Luckily, Jake’s family life away from the ups and downs of Walford appears to be much more harmonious. Jake and Alison live in Hertfordshire with their teenage children Amber and Buster, and their two adorable dogs, Buddy and Chip.
Sharing an Instagram pic of daughter Amber to mark her 18th birthday, the proud dad wrote: “Happy birthday you amazing human being – we are so proud of the kind, caring and effortlessly cool and stylish person that you are – you keep being you Amber we love you.”
Jake regularly shares family updates with his wife and children, and just a couple of weeks ago, the actor posted a series of snaps from their summer of fun which included wholesome family hikes, BBQ’s, and karaoke nights.
Incredible talent
Jake has an incredible creative talent(Image: Instagram/ @mrjakewood)
While Jake has won many an award for his incredible acting skills, the soap star also has another amazing talent up his sleeve.
In an unexpected turn of events, Jake revealed his incredible artwork and his amazing creative talent after leaving EastEnders.
The actor made his debut in the art world at a gallery soft launch in St Albans in March 2025, displaying his artwork and offering signed prints. His first original piece, titled ‘CHILL WINSTON’, was purchased by actor Ray Winstone.
Millionaire status

Jake earned himself an impressive £1m the year after leaving the popular BBC soap.
The Max Branning actor managed to boost his bank balance without appearing on television – with the actor raking it in thanks to stints on the stage and some lucrative audio projects.
Jake quit EastEnders in 2020, explaining at the time that he was excited “to see what new horizons are around the corner.” And after his final scenes aired in early 2021, the popular actor kept himself busy – with his new projects proving to be financially beneficial.
After departing Albert Square, he launched a well-liked podcast, showed off his acting skills in the spine-chilling West End play called 2:22: A Ghost Story, and even bagged roles in Christmas pantomimes.
The company Jake runs with his business partner showed in 2024 that they had cash savings of over £200,000 in 2022. They also paid a hefty Corporation Tax bill of £169,151. This suggests Jake made about £1m that year! But there wasn’t any champagne flowing to celebrate as Jake gave up drinking 22 years ago.
Sobriety milestone

In 2023 Jake shared an update on his sobriety milestone. On New Year’s Day, he said: “I am 20 years sober tonight. So proud of myself and for anyone out there on a similar journey.”
He also sent a supportive message to others going through the same thing, saying: “If you are struggling there is help out there, please reach out and believe me if I did it you can too. Sending you all love and strength and a happy and healthy 2024.”
Holiday horror
Jake’s wife Alison was nearly eaten by an alligator(Image: Instagram/ @mrjakewood)
Back in 2019, Jake opened up about his holiday horror when his wife was almost eaten alive by an alligator.
The EastEnders star was on holiday with his wife Alison and their children Buster and Amber when they came face-to-face with the terrifying creature. The soap star said he was on a boat in the Florida Everglades with his family when Alison decided to jump into the water, only to be confronted by the horrifying beast.
Jake, Buster and Amber were left looking on in horror as the alligator began heading for Alison. They screamed for her to climb back into the boat as their trip almost turned into tragedy.
Opening up about the horrific scare at the time, Jake revealed: “I almost lost my wife to an alligator in Florida.” He said when he first saw the alligator it was 15 feet away from his wife, but that he panicked when he saw it suddenly coming towards her.

“So I’m looking at it and thinking, ‘It’s got to be a log or something. Got to be a log’. All of a sudden it f***ing goes down and I f***ing see an eye. All the kids are screaming, I’m screaming, ‘Get back in the boat’.
“As soon as an alligator goes underwater you don’t know where it is, it was horrible. It was only about 15 feet away.”
Jake said he and his loved ones only realised how lucky they had been when they returned to the shop they’d hired the boat from and shared their story.
A shocked staff member told them he’d never go in the water, describing the alligator they’d encountered as a “maneater”. The terrifying incident took place in 2014, but Jake says it’s something that will always stay with his children.
“Good story,” he added. “Although it did scar the kids for life.” Jake admitted just thinking about the encounter now makes him “squiffy”.
Career since EastEnders

In 2023, Jake reprised his role of Ben in the critically acclaimed supernatural theatre production 2:22 A Ghost Story. He was called in to replace actor Hugo Chegwin who fell ill last minute, leading to casting chaos before its official opening night.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Jake warmly praised co-star Cheryl’s West End debut performance, hailing her the Girls Aloud singer as “fearless”.
He continued: “It’s quite remarkable to see someone who has never acted before come on stage at the West End, she is in the spotlight, with all that pressure. It’s quite amazing how resilient she is, really. And she is giving amazing performances, people are blown away by how good she is.”
Jake was among the original cast members of 2:22 A Ghost Story when it first opened in the summer of 2021, with his performance earning him the What’s On Stage Award for Best Supporting Actor. During an appearance on Loose Women in 2023, Jake remarked that he would be for a return to soap acting but appeared to be more interested in rival show Coronation Street.

No doubt dismaying many EastEnders fans, Jake proceeded to hint: “If they asked me if I would do another soap, then I would – when I was a young actor, I did a lot of northern parts. Yeah, people used to think I was from Manchester when I was younger – I love Corrie, so if they’re listening, give me a call.”
