Freddy Brazier has revealed he’s going to rehab in Marbella and admits he ‘wants a healthy relationship with his dad’ following a family fall-out. 

The 20-year-old son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody told fans on Friday that he has been addicted to ‘smoking’ from the age of 12 and will be heading for treatment soon.

In an honest admission on Friday, he wrote on social media that he wanted to turn his life around and find better copying mechanisms after finding ‘someone he wants to get to know’.

The news comes just days after Freddy enjoyed a first date with controversial influencer Tasha Newcombe, 22, at Glᴀsshouse Terrace in London Bridge.

Freddy wrote on his Stories: ‘I’ve decided that I will be cutting down And I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I’m in England I won’t take getting clean seriously.

‘I’ve been smoking from the age of 12 and it’s time to stop it was a bad coping mechanism that turnt into an addiction something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what ok.

‘I’ve found a rehabilitation centre and a boxing club I’ve found someone I want to get to know and I’m happy I got a good bunch of friends and I get out and enjoy myself. 

‘I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I’m in the middle and have to choose a side.’

He continued: ‘I haven’t been able to feel love properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.’

Freddy’s new love interest Tasha hit headlines herself last summer when she, then 21, became romantically involved with 16-year-old Marko Vituk, from Maidstone. 

But it appears she has moved on from GCSE-age Marko as her and Freddy sipped on champagne before going bowling at Roxy Ball Room for their first date on Thursday – on what would have been his mum Jade’s 44th birthday. 

Celebrity Race Across the world star Freddy lost his mother when he was just four years old after she died from cervical cancer in 2009, and has since been raised by his dad Jeff. 

It comes after Freddy and his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden were spotted smoking suspicious cigarettes after their recent reconciliation, despite his dad legal war to block contact.

He was seen puffing with his gran, 68, in front of tourists near Tower Bridge in South London, after Mail On Sunday revealed Freddy had been living with his maternal grandmother for a week.

MailOnline have contacted Bobby and Jackiey’s reps for comment.

Jackiey and Jeff have clashed multiple times over the years, and it was revealed last month the TV star is taking action in an attempt to legally block contact between his son and his grandmother, ‘to keep him safe’.

Mail On Sunday revealed that Freddy, who was restricted from seeing Jackiey by his dad after he filed court paperwork, spent a week at her home in Bermondsey, after reuniting despite his father’s efforts to keep his son away.

Family friends say the duo remain ‘extremely close,’ explaining: ‘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.

‘They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years.

Freddy then shared a now deleted TikTok post about his mental health, featuring personal pH๏τos of himself with his brother Bobby and late mum Jade, alongside a series of captions about his state of mind.

The video, set to the heartbreaking audio of Ricky Gervais’ character expressing his sadness in a scene from his Netflix show After Life, Freddy’s video included statements from the audio which included: ”I feel sad all the time. I’m not the person I was!’

‘But this is what I really am and I want to be normal again. But I’m weak you know?’ 

Captioning his post, Freddy penned: ‘As a man, I bottle up my emotions and hide my feelings away. I rarely let them out to play. Feelings are being felt and thoughts are being heard and played out.’

He then asked his male followers how they were mentally and urged them to speak out about how they felt and what’s ‘hurting them’.

His post was met with a plethora of supportive messages from fans. 

Freddy also reportedly skipped his brother Bobby’s birthday bash amid his feud with dad Jeff  over his relationship with grandmother Jackiey.

EastEnders star Bobby turned 22 on June 2, and while other loved ones including his father and step-mum Kate were present, his sibling was noticeably absent. 

Despite Freddy acknowledging the birthday online, it is said that there was ‘sadness’ felt by the family that Freddy wasn’t there to celebrate in person.

A source told The Sun: ‘It was a really nice family occasion but everyone really missed Freddy. 

‘He was of course invited but he is making his feelings quite clear at the moment about who he wants to be spending time with.’ 

They added: ‘He did acknowledge that Bobby’s birthday online but there was some sadness that he wasn’t there with his brother.’ 

In March Freddy revealed he has been diagnosed as bipolar in a candid video about his ‘serious’ mental health. 

The Race Across The World star discussed his struggles with bipolar and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a TikTok post filmed for No Cause, No Cure, Epilepsy Awareness..

Bipolar causes unusual and often sudden changes in mood and energy levels, while ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
