Freddy Brazier, 21, and his pregnant girlfriend Holly Swinburn made their red carpet debut as a couple ahead of welcoming their first child together.
Freddy, who is the son of late Big Brother legend Jade Goody and TV presenter Jeff Brazier, confirmed he was expecting a child with his on-off partner in August. Posing together on the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards at Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Monday evening, Freddy and Holly looked loved-up as they smiled for the cameras.
Holly showed off her growing baby bump in a lemon yellow dress, with her blonde hair down, while Freddy donned a black top underneath a grey jacket with trousers in the same colour.
Confirming the news of Holly’s pregnancy, Freddy broke his silence in August by taking to Instagram to express his delight.
He shared a photograph of London’s Canary Wharf skyline, writing in the caption: “I’m actually a DILF to be! !”. He has since shared snaps of Holly and referred to her as his ‘baby mother’.
Meanwhile, his older brother Bobby recently shared his excitement at becoming a “funcle”. Speaking to The Sun, the EastEnders star revealed he learned the news from his father but ‘didn’t know what to believe’ at first.
Bobby went on to explain that the baby will bring the family closer as he said: “It’s going to be a team effort. Undoubtedly it will bring us together. My dad is uber supportive and I’m hoping I can take some of that and raise the baby together.”
A pal of Freddy’s recently said that Jeff has also been a huge support to Freddy and the news has brought them closer together.
It comes after a difficult time for Freddy. His bond with his father became tense recently owing to his legal dispute with Freddy and Bobby’s grandmother, Jackiey Budden.
Meanwhile, Jackiey recently spoke out in anger after Freddy had claimed his maternal grandmother got him “hooked” on drugs when he was just 12. He had said in a podcast he does hope to have a healthy relationship with Jackiey amid Jeff’s legal battle to stop him seeing the pensioner.
But Jackie, whose daughter Jade died in 2009 of cancer, has hit back at the comments. She said: “I’ve read all these things he’s said about me and I just can’t believe he’d say them. It just isn’t true at all – I can’t believe it.
“Freddy was smoking as a kid with his mates long before he and I ever smoked together back out in Essex near Jeff’s home – he got into some bad crowds but it had nothing to do with me.”
