Freddy Brazier has revealed he's 'homeless' just months ahead of the birth of his first child as he reveals his hope of naming baby after his late mum Jade Goody if he has a daughter.

In a new interview with Closer magazine he said: 'I'm not living anywhere exactly. It's a bit of a complicated one. I'm just staying with my friends, couch surfing and loving life. I love a sofa and an air bed.' 

The 21-year-old son of Jade and Jeff Brazier announced he was set to become a father last month as his then ex partner Holly Swinburn was pregnant.

He also hopes to honour his late mother Jade - who died in 2009 after a battle with cervical cancer - with his child's name. 

He said: 'I actually think if the baby is a girl, I'll call her Jade. I think that would be really mad to do so, but I don't know. We might think of some other names, not that I prefer them, but no one can take that name away from me, so who knows?' 

Later in the chat, Freddy admitted he's been 'silly before' when it comes to protection.

He said: 'I always knew I was going to be a young dad. It was always going to come at some point. I've been silly in the past. I'm surprised it didn't come earlier, but I'm happy.' 

Freddy Brazier has revealed he's surprised he 'didn't get someone pregnant sooner' and admitted that he's homeless as he prepares to become a dad for the first time

Freddy and Holly's brief relationship was understood to have ended acrimoniously following a string of rows but it was then said they had discussed reconciling their differences if possible, to become parents together.

And after reconciling, the couple put on a united front on the Pride of Britain red carpet at London's Grosvenor Hotel on Monday.   

Mum-to-be Holly showcased her blossoming baby bump in a figure-hugging yellow gown, while Freddy placed a loving arm around her. 

Freddy shared the first photo with his 'baby mother-to-be' last week in a sweet video to TikTok. Freddy uploaded a photo with his partner and wrote: 'Off the market.'

Another photo showed his girlfriend with their pet dog, which he titled: 'My little family so far.' 

Freddy captioned the update: 'My Riches, my happiness and my reasons to keep on growing!'

In an Instagram post, the model wrote and repeated in a video: 'I’m actually a DILF to be!' - an acronym for an attractive dad, as he announced the news. 

Freddy's older brother Bobby, 22, has also spoken about becoming an uncle for the first time at the NTAs last month.

Bobby told the Daily Mail: 'I'm excited to become an Uncle, it's going to be a team effort, like raising anything is. 

'My dad has been super supportive and we're going to raise the baby together.' 

But when asked if it was going to be a healing force between his family who have recently been experiencing a rift after his brother fell out with his father Jeff, Bobby said: 'I'm not sure about healing but we're going to raise it together.

'At first I thought it could have been a prank when I heard about it,' Bobby admitted.

The Strictly star revealed he first heard about it when the Mail on Sunday broke the story last month and he called up his father who confirmed the revelation.

Jeff and Freddy have spent much of the last year estranged, only to be reunited some weeks ago after the baby announcement.

'There was only one person that Freddy could have turned to,' a source told the Mail on Sunday. 'His dad.'

While relations had been strained for some time, particularly when Jeff hired lawyers in a bid to stop Freddy seeing his notoriously unstable grandmother, he always knew that his father would be there for him if a crisis arose.

The source continued: 'He has been in close contact with Jeff ever since, and has been taking his advice.

'It came as a shock to Freddy that he is going to be a dad and he needed some help navigating it. Jeff has been amazing and is helping him so much.'

Jeff then appeared to address the news with a selfie of him with his youngest, as he begged fans for a 'parenting guidebook' on 'unconventional early adult years'

His surprise baby news has prompted a reconciliation with dad Jeff, 46, after following several months of the father and son being at war with each other.

Sources close to the Braziers say Freddy has discussed his forthcoming fatherhood with his father - This Morning's parenting expert.

Jeff is said to be 'extremely supportive' alongside other close family and friends who have vowed to help him in any way they can.

A friend told The Mail on Sunday: 'It has blindsided him and has been one of the things that has really brought him and his dad back together but it's so devastating that Jade isn't here to see it.

'Jeff was one of the first people he decided to confide in to ask for advice, and he stepped up straight away and wanted to help in any way he could.' 

And he appeared to address the news about Freddy's impending fatherhood just a day earlier, with a cryptic Instagram post.

Taking to his Stories, Jeff issued a plea to his followers for a 'parenting guidebook' on 'unconventional early adult years'.

He shared a selfie of himself lying on the couch with his youngest, with Freddy curled up alongside his dad with his head resting on Jeff's chest.

Millions of fans fell in love with Freddy last year, when he and his father appeared on Celebrity Race Across the World.

The pair were seen having some tough moments and opening up about their family dynamic, as well as arguing about Freddy and his brother Bobby's upbringing during the 30-day trek.
