Jeff Brazier shares first photos of granddaughter as son Freddy becomes dad at 21: ‘The greatest gift’

Jeff Brazier is an adoring first-time grandfather in heartwarming photos with his newborn granddaughter. The presenter, whose son Freddy, 21, recently welcomed his first child his girlfriend Holly Swinburn, 22, penned a heartfelt tribute to the newest addition to the Brazier family – and the baby girl’s name has a very sweet connection to her late grandmother, Jade Goody.

“Dear Isla Jade,” Jeff began on Instagram with a photo of him lovingly holding his granddaughter in his arms. 

“You have no idea how deeply loved you are. There are so many good people standing behind you, and a very special angel watching over you. Mummy and Daddy gave you her name, and were going to tell you all about her,” he wrote, revealing Isla’s middle name was a meaningful tribute to his late partner Jade Goody, who was the mother to his two sons, Freddy and Bobby. Jade passed away in 2009 aged 28 after a battle with cervical cancer. 

He continued: “You already feel like the greatest gift. I will be forever grateful to Mummy and Daddy for filling my heart and bringing such joy into our lives. Thank you, Holly and Freddy, with all my heart.

“Holding you is pure peace,” Jeff added, signing off with: “All my love,Grandad. (Though you’re welcome to call me something a bit cooler when you’re older!)”

More to come.
