After deciding that his son Freddy will turn 20 years old, Jeff Brazier has pleaded with his fans for assistance.

Jeff Brazier has asked for parenting advice following the news that his son Freddy is to become a dad at the age of 20. Freddy, the youngest son of TV star Jeff and the late Jade Goody is expecting his first child with an ex-girlfriend.

The baby would be the first grandchild for Jeff and Big Brother star Jade, who tragically died aged just 27 in 2009 from cervical cancer. Jeff, 46, is said to be “extremely supportive” of Freddy despite the recent tensions between the pair.

But late on Sunday night, This Morning star Jeff took to his Instagram to share a telling snap with his son as they lay curled up on the sofa together after a busy weekend. Model Freddy was seen resting his head on Jeff’s torso as the grandad-to-be wrapped an affectionate arm around him.

Jeff responded to his post by saying, “Thanks, if someone could send me that parenting guidebook, especially “early adult years the unconventional path,” along with an emoji expressing his happiness and kissing with laughter.

The devoted father has addressed any issues in the past and has pledged to support his son and guide him throughout his own journey to fatherhood, even though they may not have seen eye-to-eye in recent months. According to a source, “It has been one of the things that has really brought Freddy and his dad back together,” but Jade isn’t here to see it.

According to them, “Jeff was one of the first people he stepped up to ask for advice, and he stepped up right away and wanted to help wherever he could.” Although it is believed that Fred and his ex-girlfriend were involved in a bitter split, they were also believed to have discussed reconciling as parents.

Freddy has been a frequent visitor to his maternal grandmother, Jackeiy Budden, but sources claim Jeff was his “only person” to turn to. He has kept in touch with Jeff and has been taking his advice, according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail.

Freddy was surprised to learn that he would become a father, and he needed some assistance navigating it. He has greatly appreciated Jeff’s generosity. Freddy’s mother said, “While the news has been a shock for him,” and the source continued, “He wants to make things right and plans the rest of his life” around his child.

Jeff and Freddy’s relationship played out across screens when they appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World, where cameras followed them as they navigated their differences. The model and his older brother, EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, were raised by Jeff after Jade’s tragic death.

But in recent years, the two siblings have taken completely different paths, with Bobby starring on the BBC One soap and reportedly making the decision to shun fame and move to India to pursue his Hare Krishna faith, while Freddy has been open about his personal struggles.

I’ve been smoking since I was 12 years old, I’ve been to rehab, I’ve been sectioned, and I’ve had manic episodes, Freddy said in a snippet from his new podcast, which will be released this week. A real journey has been taken, and it has been challenging.

Freddy stated in June that he wanted to be clean and that he wanted to heal family relationships. I want to be happy, be in a good relationship with my father, and be happy with my Nana.

Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, hosts of Good Morning Britain, made a Monday return after their summer break.

Good Morning Britain fans said the same thing as Susanna Reid unveiled a new look after her summer break.

During Monday’s (September 1) edition of the hit ITV programme, Susanna and her co-host Ed Balls made their return as they presented the latest news from across the UK and around the world.

It comes after the pair took several weeks off over the summer holidays.

Alex Beresford, who regularly forecasts the weather, joined them in the studio, and Ranvir Singh, who handled the rest of the day’s news.

Susanna and Ed discussed the government’s crackdown on bringing families to the UK throughout the entire program.

Additionally, it was discussed about beginning online courses to teach boys how to fight harmful online messages, including those about misogyny and incel culture.

Rupert Everett discussed his new role in Rivals and his hopes to work with Julia Roberts on the sequel to My Best Friend’s Wedding with the hosts.

ITV viewers quickly shared their joy at Susanna’s return on social media after watching the program, with many noticing her stunning new hairstyle.

The 54-year-old actress has notably lighter colored hair than her trademark brunette locks, which is not so flattering.

“Hello, new month, new hairstyle for September. On X (previously Twitter), one user wrote, “Nice to see you back.”

Without you, it wouldn’t have been the same show, said another, “I’m glad you’re back.” After her well-earned summer break, Susan looks fresh-faced and lovely, according to another commentator.

A fourth fan commented: “Nice to see @susannareid100 & @edballs back on @gmb,” with another similarly sharing: “Oh yes … Susanna’s back!!”

A sixth viewer echoed the sentiment, saying: “Good morning, welcome back fabulous lovely Susanna Reid. Loving the new hair.”

In a move that might make sense given their ongoing feud, Peter Andre has released a seven-word statement about how he chooses to raise his brood.

Peter Andre has explained that you “need to teach children how to swim” in an analogy about how to deal with children, in what’s seemingly a dig amid his feud with ex-wife Katie Price.

The former couple, who share kids Princess and Junior, have been at war with one another over recent months after Katie accused Peter and his management of keeping her away from their daughter Princess’s work ventures and claimed their kids lived in her home. While Peter, 52, responded with a statement to “set the record straight” where he alleged that their children have been in his care since 2018.

Now, onto his weekly New! Peter, a magazine columnist, discussed Stacey Dooley’s recent conversation with Lily Phillips, in which the adult star’s parents were distraught over her career choice. Peter stated in his New! that he had his own perspective on parenting and how he raised his children. “Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, a documentary with the adult content creator Lily Phillips, which included an emotional interview with Lily’s parents, has sparked a lot of discussion,” according to a magazine column.

It’s simple to express your opinion on someone else’s behavior, but I find it difficult to do so if you don’t know them or have any knowledge of their motivations or experiences. Parenting is not simple. Your children are adults, and you can offer advice.

Peter continued: “But it’s so important to talk to your kids, especially with the world as it is today. It’s no good building a pool and telling them not to jump in – you need to teach them to swim.”

Alongside Princess and Junior, Peter shares three children with his wife Emily MacDonagh; Theo, Amelia and Arabella. Peter was married to showbiz legend Katie from 2005 until 2009, with the latter making a number of claims in her podcast, The Katie Price Show, about Peter last month.

However, Peter made an unexpected Instagram comment shortly after that statement: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones. Staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That is finished today.

I must set the record straight when I make the most recent remarks regarding my children’s welfare and living conditions. Junior and Princess were placed with me until they were adults in 2018 for well-known reasons and for their safety. The family courts formally imposed this arrangement on the family courts in 2019. Out of respect for my children, I’ve never made this public.

My ex-wife made false claims in court cases that were publicly documented in 2011 and 2015. She was ordered to apologize to me and my management and pay substantial damages and legal costs. Today, the same lies are being made.

Unfortunately, I haven’t yet addressed any of my lies or baseless accusations. In the upcoming months, those will now be addressed.

In response, a Katie spokesperson told the Mirror that ” Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to make tit-for-tat comments,” but more importantly, she is handling this in the right way and her lawyers are now in charge of it. Kate will no longer be bullied and gaslighted like she was in the past…
