FREDDY Brazier has revealed he was sectioned after battling addiction and manic episodes.
Jade Goody’s youngest son, now 20, says he has been smoking weed since he was 12 years old.
He also spoke of his relationship with his dad, Jeff Brazier, and his fears that Jades mum Jackiey would take her own life if he wasn't around.
In a snippet from his new podcast, which is due to launch this week, Freddy said: “T've been smoking since I was 12. I've been to rehab, I've been sectioned, I've had manic episodes.
“There’s been a real journey and it's been a tough one”
BRAVE
Freddy was just four when his reality TV star mum died from cervical cancer on Mother's Day in 2009, aged 27.
But Jade is clearly still in his thoughts all these years later - as Freddy shared a photo of her hugging him and brother Bobby, 22, when they were kids.
