The EastEnders star, 22, Bobby Brazier said his younger brother, Freddy Brazier needs to "grow up" amidst legal battle with dad, Jeff Brazier. While talking about the things he doesn't like about Freddy, Bobby while speaking to The Sun on July 13, called his brother a "sensitive person":

"Freddy's very sensitive and wants to please. And when he grows up a little bit that will serve him well. There are things I don't like about him and there are things about me he doesn't like. Freddy will be OK, I don't know if he looks up to me, but I look up to him in many ways, but he's a good boy."

Freddy and Bobby's dad, Jeff Brazier had reportedly taken legal action against his wife's mother and the kid's grandmother, Jackiey Budden to block her access to Freddy to "keep him safe." However, Freddy defied his dad and posted a TikTok video last month, of him dancing with his nan in her garden in South London. A source told Mail in June, that Freddy and his grandmother share a "strong bond" and it would be difficult to keep them apart:

"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."

More about Freddy and Bobby Brazier's relationship

EastEnders' star Bobby Brazier and his brother Freddy Brazier, who are only two years apart, reportedly have a strained relationship with their dad, Jeff Brazier. Jeff had earlier taken legal action against the brothers' grandmother, to keep her away from Freddy.

Sources close to the family while speaking to Daily Mail revealed that both the boys have had their ups and downs with their father. As per sources, while Bobby Brazier might not defy his father publicly, he is trying to distance himself from his father, who Freddy accused of being controlling.

"Bobby's always had a spiritual side, but this is intentional. It's clear he's trying to leave all the fighting and noise beyond. Freddy's rebellion is loud - drugs, public slanging matches and legal battles with nana, while Bobby's is quiet. But actually it's just as defiant."

Last week Freddy posted a throwback video reminscing the good times he spent with his brother, Bobby Brazier during the coronavirus pandemic. In the video, the two brothers can be seen bashing their heads against a pumpkin on a farm, with a caption by Freddy noting that he misses the amount of time he had with his brother "to bond, and make memories and have a laugh."
