Freddy Brazier’s Baby News Rekindles Questions Over Jade Goody’s ‘Missing Millions’

Family accounts differ over how far her estate funded the boys’ upbringing.

Overview

  • Jade Goody left around £3 million in trust for sons Bobby and Freddy and wanted Jeff Brazier to use some of it for private schooling, with a £700,000 OK! Magazine wedding deal among the funds she raised.
  • Reports two years after her death described a tax demand of about £1.8 million and further liabilities linked to her beauty salon, which relatives say diminished what was available.
  • Despite her wishes, only Bobby attended private school at Bishop’s Stortford College, while Freddy went to a state school reported to suit his ADHD needs.
  • Widower Jack Tweed claims a substantial sum went to the taxman, says he passed his wedding proceeds to the trustees and received only Jade’s £16,000 car, while Jade’s mother previously said money remained in trust.
  • Current coverage notes Jeff is supporting Freddy as he prepares to become a first-time father after years of reported strain between them.
