Jeff Brazier speaks out after Jack Tweed’s claims

The TV star said people around him had offered support

Jeff Brazier has posted a new video to social media after news broke he was “consulting lawyers” following comments made by Jade Goody’s widower Jack Tweed about his children.

The life coach shared the clip with fans admitting he’s been leaning on those around him while “something [has been] going on in the background”.

The video from Jeff, 39, came after the late Jade’s husband Jack claimed she would have been “devastated” that her dying wish – for her sons Bobby and Freddie to be privately educated – never came true.

In the days before her death in March 2009, Jade set up lucrative deals in the hope the money would pay for her sons’ private education, but instead, the money reportedly went on four years of Jade’s unpaid tax bills after her death.

After Jeff’s representative confirmed he was speaking to lawyers about Jack’s interview, the TV star shared a video on Instagram, with the hashtags: “#oneminuteofgratitude #support #kindness #honesty #communication #pride #love #forgiveness.”

In the clip, he said: “I learned an invaluable lesson last year somewhere up some mountains, that if you don’t share with people how you feel and what you’re struggling with, then people can’t support you. And it’s as simple as that.

“So, ever since, I’ve made a point – on days like today where there might be a little bit of something going on in the background – I’m able to talk to people about it, and they’re able to support me.

“I’m grateful to everybody that I spoke to today.”

He added that he now feels “a lot better”.

Jeff also spoke about his 14-year-old son Freddie, saying he’d made a mistake at the weekend. Jeff said he’d told him: “It’s not the mistake that you make, it’s your actions afterwards that really counts, and dictates what sort of person you are.”

He added: “I hope everyone’s had a great day, here’s to a good one tomorrow.”

His 89k followers piled in to compliment him, with one saying: “Go on Jeff! Love your posts – you honestly have an amazing way with words! After an anxious day today, you reminded me of what I’m grateful for!”

Another added: “Wow Jeff, I think you are amazing, I could do with you counselling me… You are amazing guy and great dad don’t let anyone ever take that away from you, much love.”
