Freddy Brazier was rushed to hospital after a horror dog attack at his nan Jackiey Budden’s London home earlier this week.
The 21-year-old reportedly needed stitches after his Pocket Bully dog Pablo bit him on Tuesday, July 21.
A source told The Sun: “Freddy was shocked when it happened and was left in a lot of pain.”
The frightening incident happened while Freddy was at Jackiey’s house in London.
Jackiey also suffered injuries, according to the report. She tried to pull Pablo off Freddy during the ordeal.
A spokesman shared an update on his condition with ED!, saying: “Freddy is currently being treated; we will keep everyone updated on his recovery.”
Now, a few days after the attack, Freddy has spoken out.
What happened during Freddy Brazier’s dog attack?
The report says Pablo attacked Freddy while he was at his grandmother’s home.
That left the young star needing hospital treatment.
Freddy Brazier has grown up in the public eye. Many know him as the youngest son of late Big Brother star Jade Goody and TV presenter Jeff Brazier.
That family connection has kept him in headlines for years. Now attention has turned to his recovery.
Freddy Brazier’s nan Jackiey Budden was ‘mauled’ days earlier
Freddy Brazier’s neighbours reportedly rang the police after hearing screams when nan Jackiey Budden was allegedly attacked by the dog.
According to claims, neighbours heard Jackiey cry as the pocket bully “gripped” onto her with its teeth.
London Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police are said to have attended the scene, as per The Sun.
A source claimed to the publication: “It’s been a shocking few days. During the first incident, Jackiey was home alone, and she was mauled – on this occasion, one of her panicked neighbours raised the alarm. Both the police and the fire brigade attended, but fortunately it wasn’t too serious – and they agreed not to pursue criminal charges.”
Sources also claim it has been “awful” for Freddy, who “absolutely adores Pablo”.
Freddy’s representative has been contacted for comment.
Freddy breaks his silence
Now, in an interview with The Sun, Freddy has revealed he is desperate to get Pablo back, despite the attack.
Freddy explained that he’d rushed to his nan’s house after hearing that Pablo had attacked her. Fearing his dog would be taken away by the police, he took Pablo out of his nan’s house so he could take him to a pal’s home nearby.
“I’ve taken him out of the house. I’ve calmed him down. I’m going: ‘Sorry boy, I know it’s been so long. I love you. I’ve missed you. I’m scratching his back, but then he hooked on to my arm. The dog was hanging off me. I couldn’t feel anything in my right arm. But then I saw blood coming out of my tracksuit. I opened it to see a 3cm hole in my arm. It was terrifying,” he said.
Pablo attacks Freddy
“He was just a completely different dog. Honestly, when I picked him up from my nan’s and got him out of the room, I was scared. I’ve never been scared of Pablo, but I was scared,” he then continued.
Freddy went on to explain that he managed to tie Pablo to a fence and call an ambulance. The police then arrived and took Pablo away, something Freddy described as “heartbreaking”.
The star then spent “too long” in A&E, where he was told he couldn’t have stitches due to where the injury was. He was also told the injury could have been a lot worse.
In a formal letter, Freddy was told by police that he has seven days to find a new home for Pablo, or he will be put down.
“I want my dog back, but my nan has told me that he can’t go back to her house, and my dad won’t have him at his house. I have never seen him as my dog — he’s like my son. He’s in police kennels, and I’m probably not going to see my dog again.”
Freddy’s representatives declined to comment when approached by ED! today (Sunday, July 26).
This Freddy update comes as a huge shock
The hospital dash comes just months after a major moment in his personal life.
Freddy and ex-girlfriend Holly Swinburn welcomed their first child in March.
They named their daughter Isla Jade Brazier. The name paid tribute to his late mum.
Freddy and Holly had an on-and-off relationship before they split. The Sun said the breakup followed a row involving his dog.
The same report added that Holly had tried to take the pet from him during the argument.
That claim had already put Pablo in the spotlight.
For now, Freddy Brazier remains focused on treatment and recovery.
No one has shared further details about the full extent of his injuries.
Still, the quotes released so far paint a grim picture. Freddy was “left in a lot of pain,” and Jackiey also appears to have been caught up in the chaos.
Fans will now hope for reassuring news soon. The focus remains on Freddy Brazier after a deeply distressing past 24 hours.
Latest on the dog attack saga
In the latest news, The Sun has pictured Jackiey Budden out and about with her own pooch following the attack.
Alongside the snaps, the publication claimed Jackiey was struggling to control her own dog.
Jackiey was photographed wearing sunglasses as she walked in south east London with her Pitbull cross XL Bully, Echo.
At one point during the stroll, Echo allegedly barked “aggressively” at another dog.
You can see the photos, here.
Freddy Brazier’s dog was recently accused of attacking Jackiey twice within four days before later hospitalising Freddy, who was left with stitches after the attack.
Now, Jackiey supposedly can’t keep her own dog under control.
