Freddy Brazier ‘clashes with pregnant ex over plans to film fatherhood journey'

Freddy Brazier has reportedly found himself at odds with his pregnant former girlfriend Holly Swinburn over plans to film his journey into fatherhood for television.

The 21-year-old, who announced in September that he was expecting his first child with Swinburn, split from his on-off partner again in November after briefly reconciling.

The pair are now said to be navigating a strained relationship as Brazier explores the possibility of documenting his life ahead of the baby’s arrival.

According to the Sun, Brazier is keen to share the experience publicly, but the break-up has complicated matters.

“Freddy is excited to share his fatherhood journey with the world, but the break up has complicated things,” a source said. “Holly doesn’t want the birth to be filmed, but he’s trying to convince her to capture everything on camera.”

The insider added that Brazier is believed to be in discussions with ITV.

“He’s looking to sign a contract with ITV so the details are being ironed out. This has been a real sticking point,” they told The Sun.

Freddy Brazier’s representative declined to comment when approached by The Standard.

Brazier and his ex-girlfriend have been locked in an increasingly public row.

Last month, Brazier issued a furious response after Swinburn accused him of taking part in drug-fuelled parties with other women, allegations he has denied and called “sick”.

Swinburn has spoken publicly about their relationship, describing living with Brazier as “a nightmare,” and saying she intends to focus on raising her child alone.

At the time, she alleged that the split followed Brazier hosting a party at her flat while she was on holiday with her family and did not care for her dog, Pablo, a puppy he had gifted her earlier in the summer.

However, Brazier pushed back at the accusations, reportedly telling friends the claims are entirely fabricated.

He added that the situation has already escalated.

“She’s already talking about doing something else, another interview or speaking out again,” he claimed, as per the Daily Mail. “It’s only a matter of time before she does, she has told me this already this week. The things she’s saying could cost me work, and damage my relationship with my child when they’re born.”
