‘Arguments are off the scale and the police have been involved. It’s extremely messy’: KATE HIND reveals how Freddy Brazier’s relationship with his girlfriend is in ‘major chaos’ just months after the birth of their daughter… and dad Jeff’s intervention

When Freddy Brazier found out he was going to be a father, there were tears of joy everywhere.
It was particularly poignant for the 21-year-old, whose girlfriend Holly Swinburn gave birth to a little girl in March, when he lost his mother, reality star Jade Goody, when he was just four years old.
Freddy’s father, Jeff, was also very happy and excited to become a grandfather in his mid-40s. She promised that the family would take care of the newborn, who was named Isla Jade in memory of her late grandmother.
Only I can reveal that the family happiness has been devastatingly shattered, with sources close to the Brazier clan telling me a crisis has erupted between Freddy and Holly, causing huge anxiety and heartache for Jeff, the parenting expert on ITV daytime show This Morning.
The couple’s relationship had been turbulent for some time. However, now there is talk of “mass chaos” within the family after the “big incident” between Freddy and Holly.
The on-and-off couple had vowed to put their differences aside so they could parent together as a couple. But the Daily Mail revealed the pair split again last month and their escalating arguments culminated in a violent incident at their former home last week, in which police were involved following a series of previous arguments.

Freddy’s father Jeff, far left, is said to be very excited to become a grandfather in his mid-40s. She promised that the family would take care of the baby, who was named Isla Jade after her late grandmother.
Relations between the former partners became so toxic that Freddy’s father Jeff even volunteered to provide the baby with some stability while the warring couple worked out their differences.
A source revealed: ‘Freddy and Holly have said they will try to work things out as a couple for the sake of their baby, but things are clearly not Work – they are getting worse every day and the latest incident sums up where things are at.
‘At first they had decided to simply separate and co-parent, but the arguments have now gone out of proportion and the police have once again intervened after concerns were raised about escalating fights. Everyone around you can see what’s going on.
‘Jeff is helping to give everyone some space, but it’s unclear what will happen at the moment. ‘It’s extremely complicated and devastating for them to be separated so early in the baby’s life.’
Freddy and Holly had an extremely steamy relationship from the very beginning; They were only together for a few weeks before Freddy announced she was pregnant by sending a photo showing a positive pregnancy test.
But they appeared to have reconciled earlier this year and announced the baby’s arrival as a couple online, posting photos of them together from the maternity unit on Instagram.
Relations between the former partners became so toxic that Freddy’s father Jeff even volunteered to look after young Isla Jade.
The birth of Freddy’s child was particularly poignant given that he lost his mother, reality star Jade Goody, when he was just four years old.
Jeff and Freddy appeared on BBC Two’s Celebrity Race Around the World two years ago and argued about their difficult upbringing, which eventually led to them being away from each other for months.
Freddy’s latest troubles come after a tumultuous few years that have seen him locked in a bitter battle with his father, who has taken controversial legal action to control some of his son’s wild antics and prevent him from seeing his grandmother Jade’s mother, Jackiey Budden.
Jeff accused Jackiey of being a bad influence and allowing Freddy to take drugs while staying at his south London flat – but Freddy, an aspiring model, hit back angrily, insisting nothing would stop him from having a relationship with his grandmother and angrily describing his father’s attempts as ‘controlling’.
Sources say Freddy and his beloved grandmother are now back in touch and that Freddy regularly visits his mother’s flat in Bermondsey, south-east London, where he grew up.
Indeed, two years ago, while Jeff and Freddy were appearing on BBC Two’s Celebrity Race Around the World, he and his father opened up about his difficult upbringing, which eventually led to them being away from each other for months at a time.
Freddy and his older brother Bobby started living with Jeff when they were three and four years old, following Jade’s death from cervical cancer in 2009. Jeff and Jade had separated shortly before Freddy was born, and she had married model Jack Tweed just days before he died.
The boys had a turbulent period growing up following the tragic death of their mother and there were also problems between Jeff and his eldest son Bobby, but relations between them appear to have improved recently and the pair are said to be close.
However, Bobby has recently announced that he will be leaving England and moving to New York, where he will apparently find success as a model and actor following his role as Freddie Slater in the BBC One soap EastEnders. She had previously discovered the Hare Krishna religion after joining a group in London and was photographed performing a ritual dance with hundreds of other worshipers in Soho.
Meanwhile, Jeff suffered a major blow when he split from wife Kate Dwyer last November after seven years of marriage and 12 years together.
And now Jeff is a grandfather. ‘After all this turmoil, a beautiful thing happened in the family, Isla showed up,’ says a family friend. ‘He loved the idea of being an uncle Bobby and really hoped it would bring everyone together.
‘Unfortunately everything has fallen apart again and it’s really sad. Who knows where it will end this time?’
