Freddy Brazier has revealed he turned down dating show Love Island and that he wants to step away from his family name and not be remembered for who his parents are.

The 20-year-old son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody told The Mail how producers recently offered him a slot on the show.

‘I’m on Instagram, I don’t need Love Island,’ he said.

‘I’ve got Love Island on my phone from my bed.

‘I need to do something without him [my dad]. I don’t want to be seen as “Freddy from Race with his dad.” I want to be known for something on my own.

‘I’m more interested in modelling. I’ve got some good opportunities coming up – but this stuff with my dad isn’t helping that.’
