Feud between Bobby Brazier's Gran and Father
Bobby Brazier has made the decision to bar his grandmother, Jackiey Budden, from attending Strictly Come Dancing, despite dancing a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, Jade Goody. The feud stems from ongoing tensions between Jackiey, 66, and Bobby's father, Jeff Brazier. While Jeff has been able to support his son from the audience each week, Jackiey has been left out.
Gran Denied the Chance to Watch Bobby
Of the 22 tickets Bobby, 20, was allocated for his family, not a single one was given to Jackiey. With Bobby now a favorite to leave the show in the semi-finals, it's possible that Jackiey may be completely denied the opportunity to watch her grandson dance. The situation is causing friction within the family and surprising viewers who expect to see Jackiey in the audience.
Potential Loss for Jackiey
The show is filmed just 16 miles from Jackiey's home, making it easily accessible for her. However, it's uncertain whether she will be allowed to attend any future shows, including the final, if Bobby were to make it and win the glitterball trophy. The situation is leaving Jackiey facing the possibility of missing out on supporting her grandson.
A Tribute to His Mother
Two weeks ago, Bobby danced a touching routine with his professional partner, Dianne Buswell, dedicating it to his family and his late mother. In a heartfelt moment before the performance, he expressed his desire to spend a day with his mom to see where he gets his smile from. Throughout the competition, Bobby has received support from his father, Jeff, and his stepmother, Kate Dwyer, as well as his younger brother, Freddie.
A History of Fame and Tragedy
Jade Goody, who rose to fame on the reality show Big Brother in 2002, tragically passed away at the age of 27 in 2009 after a battle with cervical cancer. Jackiey had also appeared on Big Brother in 2007 for the celebrity version of the show. Jade became the first reality star to amass a fortune through TV appearances and spin-off deals.
Strictly Come Dancing and Bobby's representatives have chosen not to comment on the situation.
