Bobby Brazier’s nan Jackiey Budden couldn’t resist taking a savage swipe at his dad Jeff Brazier after expressing how proud she was of her grandson for his performances on Strictly Come Dancing.
20-year-old Bobby, who is the son of Jeff and the late Jade Goody, has reached the semi-finals of the BBC dance show alongside professional partner Dianne Buswell, 34.
While the EastEnders star’s grandmother Jackiey, 66, appears to be chuffed after watching her grandson perform, she still appears to hold a grudge against his dad.
Jeff and former Big Brother star Jade dated from 2002 to 2004, welcoming Bobby and his younger brother Freddie during that time, before splitting after two years together.
Throughout Bobby’s time on Strictly, Jade’s mum Jackiey has launched several verbal attacks against her daughter’s ex, who raised their two sons after she tragically died of cervical cancer in 2009.

Jackiey has said she is a “very proud nan” after watching her grandson on Strictly, explaining that it has been “wonderful” to see him perform on one of her favourite shows.
However, she still took the opportunity to hit out at his dad Jeff, as she told MailOnline her daughter’s ex has been a “c**k for f****** nine years”.
Express.co.uk has contacted Jeff’s representatives for comment.
After Bobby won the Rising Star award at the NTAs this year for his turn as Freddie Slater in EastEnders, she also reportedly took aim at Jeff as she sat in the crowd to witness her grandson’s big moment.

According to The Sun, she was overheard saying: “I’m so proud of him [Bobby]. He’s incredible. They didn’t know I was there. I didn’t allow them to know I was there.
“I didn’t want to see their dad. He’s a c**k. But I’m going to wait until they’re older before I let rip,” she warned.
Jeff told HuffPost that Jackiey made him feel like a “mean parent” back in 2012, after she allegedly spoiled his sons with “unsuitable” gifts without consulting him first.
These gifts, which she allegedly didn’t tell Jeff about first, included a hamster and mobile phone so she could “have direct contact with” both her grandsons.
“As I explained to Jackiey, it would have been nice to have been asked because now I’ve been put into a position where I have to be the mean parent who says no and ruins the fun,” he said at the time.
He later added: “I can’t fault Jackiey when she’s got the boys, I just wish we could work together a little better.”
Strictly Come Dancing returns this Satuday at 7.35pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
