TV PRESENTER Jeff Brazier has launched legal proceedings over the welfare of his son Freddie to stop him from seeing his maternal grandmother.

It comes 16 years after Jade died of cervical cancer aged 27, when Freddie was just four and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby was five.
Jeff has hired a leading barrister for the upcoming hearing.
A source close to the Brazier family has said of Jeff's action: “This is something Jeff and anyone who cares about Freddy hopes will help keep Freddy safe from a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his well being for a long time now.
“The fact that he is going down this route shows how concerned we all our and how our efforts to keep Fred safe are being grossly undermined by other people.’’

He said of his relationship with his Dad on the programme: “At times where I’ve pushed him away he has pulled even harder to pull me back in.
“I don’t think I praise my dad enough for everything he has done for me but he knows the love.”

Recently Freddy also posted a video of her making a foul mouthed rant at him where she is quoted as saying; ‘’Do you hear me? Don’t f***ing do it no more, don’t Fred, Please don’t. Don’t f***ing talk to me like you talk outside, if that’s the case f*** off. Yeah f*** off.’’
Last week Jeff shared snaps on Instagram of him and Freddy enjoying a meditation retreat in Essex.
He also shared a photo of them running together with the caption: “So grateful to Fred.
“He's cycled alongside me every night this week and supported me since I decided I wanted to run an ultra marathon this year.
“He's always the best company."
