Freddy Brazier is being treated in hospital after being bitten by his dog, a pocket bully, on Monday night.
The 21-year-old, the youngest son of presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody, was reportedly at home with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden when he was attacked by his dog Pablo.
A spokesperson confirmed: “Freddy is currently being treated, we will keep everyone updated on his recovery.”
Attack Details
A source told The Sun that Freddy was left in “a lot of pain” and needed stitches after being “savagely attacked” by the dog.
Freddy, who appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World alongside his dad in 2024, got Pablo last summer. Pablo is a pocket bully, a term for smaller dogs similar to pit bull terriers or XL bully dogs.
Breed Bans
Both breeds are on the government’s list of banned dog breeds; the XL bully was added in 2024, a move met with backlash from owners. In May, the Daily Mirror reported that breeders were circumventing the ban by breeding miniature “pocket bully” dogs, which could be just as vicious despite their size.
Family Background
Freddy, the younger brother of EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier, was raised by his father Jeff after Jade Goody died of cervical cancer in 2009. He has struggled with mental health issues and addiction, and lives with Goody’s mother Jackiey in London. In March, he announced the birth of his daughter Isla with on-off girlfriend Holly Swinburn, 22.
The frosty relationship between Budden and Jeff has seen Freddy grow apart from his father, but the birth of his daughter reportedly brought the family closer. Freddy told The Sun: “I feel like I’ve given back to my dad for everything that he’s done for me in some ways. Little baby, Isla, that’s priceless, and that’s the best gift I’ve ever given to him, so it’s nice.”
Freddy has his daughter’s name tattooed on the back of his neck and said she looked like a “beautiful” combination of the whole family.
