EastEnders star Bobby Brazier<\/a> has weighed in on the legal dispute surrounding his younger brother Freddy, saying he needs to ‘grow up’ a bit.<\/p>\n

Last month, the 2023 Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> finalist addressed rumours of a rift with his dad, Jeff Brazier<\/a>, as he posted a heartfelt message<\/a> on Instagram. <\/p>\n

Speculation that he had \u2018turned his back\u2019<\/a> on the 46-year-old actor came after Freddy publicly admitted that he \u2018doesn\u2019t want to see\u2019<\/a> his dad.<\/p>\n

Jeff has launched a lawsuit hoping to block the youngest son of Jade Goody from seeing his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Freddy, 20, was reportedly spotted \u2018smoking a joint\u2019 with his nan \u2014 the star was due to enter rehab<\/a>, having been addicted to smoking<\/a> since the age of 12.<\/p>\n

Addressing his brother’s behaviour for the first time, Bobby told The Sun<\/a>: ‘Freddy\u2019s very sensitive and wants to please. And when he grows up a little bit that will serve him well.’<\/p>\n

‘There are things I don\u2019t like about him and there are things about me he doesn\u2019t like. Freddy will be OK, I don\u2019t know if he looks up to me, but I look up to him in many ways, but he\u2019s a good boy.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in his own interview with the Daily Mail, Freddy claimed that he and Bobby \u2018don\u2019t speak much either\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I sent him a message to wish him a happy birthday, but that\u2019s it,\u2019 he admitted.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used to be the middleman between my dad and everyone. But now I can\u2019t be bothered. I don\u2019t care what happens.\u2019<\/p>\n

The outlet reported that Freddy has been living with Jackiey in her home in Bermondsey after ‘storming out’ of Jeff’s home in an argument.<\/p>\n

An insider said: \u2018Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long \u2013 they\u2019ve always had a strong bond.<\/p>\n

\u2018Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much.<\/p>\n

They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat \u2013 where he has often stayed over the years. Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn\u2019t worked.\u2019<\/p>\n

Freddy, whose mum died when he was only four years old<\/a>, is said to be heading to Marbella for rehab as he couldn’t take getting clean ‘seriously’ while in the UK.<\/p>\n

Bobby is reportedly staying out of the feud as much as possible and has set his sights on Hollywood after announcing he is leaving EastEnders.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s mixed feelings,’ he told The Sun. ‘It\u2019s been a wonderful three years and I\u2019ve learned so much, so it feels like home. It\u2019s like a family there.’<\/p>\n

After a stint on Paramount TV series Curfew, Bobby is setting his sights on Hollywood and shared how Joaquin Phoenix is a particular hero of his.<\/p>\n

‘I think he\u2019s incredible,’ he shared of the Joker star. ‘Even to watch him on set would be amazing.’<\/p>\n
