Behind the scenes, he'd struggled first with grief as his mum Jade Goody died of cervical cancer when he was just five years old. Then later, as Bobby took the nation by storm as an EastEnders actor and Strictly dancer, Freddie had an identity crisis, struggling to find his true calling and purpose in life.

While Bobby became so famous from Strictly that he at times yearned for it to be over so that he could have a moment of normality , Freddie's career hadn't yet taken off. The pair's dad, Jeff Brazier, has now opened up on his son's heartbreaking battle to carve out his own space. Talking on Wednesday's episode of Celebrity Race Across The World , which Jeff and Freddie signed up to do together, Jeff explained: "I've seen my son struggle.

I know what he needs is a greater sense of purpose, self worth and confidence." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
