Big Brother Jade's ex to fight over kids access

Jade's ex to fight over kids access

Last updated at 11:47am on 2nd January 2007

Jade Goody is locked in a bitter row with her ex-partner Jeff Brazier over access to their two children.

The argument erupted just a day before Jade, 25, is due to return to the Big Brother house.

Sources say Brazier is considering a custody battle after becoming increasingly concerned that Jade's new boyfriend Jack Tweedy sees more of toddlers Bobby Jack, three, and Freddie, two, than he does.

Matters came to a head over Christmas, when Jade and Jack took the boys away to her mum Jackiey's - meaning Jeff, 24, barely saw his sons over the holiday. A friend revealed: "Jeff feels that he is being pushed out of his own children's lives now that Jack and Jade have got really serious. He is terrified that the boys will start to see Jack as more of a father figure than they do him."

But Jade didn't do her cause as a caring mother any favours on New Year's Eve when she knocked back a cocktail of booze at a party in Loughton, Essex, before she and Jack shocked fellow clubbers with erotic dance moves.

The custody row comes just before Jade's controversial re-entry to the Celebrity Big Brother house. The reality TV star came just third in the 2002 Big Brother show yet is now seen as a bigger star than some of the other celebrities.

The former dental nurse is said to be picking up a massive cheque for going into the house with her gran, boyfriend, and mum - a lesbian who used to be addicted to pot. The Goody family will star alongside shamed Miss Great Britain Dannielle Lloyd, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, punk rocker Donny Tourette and Ian Watkins, H from Steps.

Jade will also have to make sure she gives Jeff no ammunition to use against her. She has been dating hunk Jack, 19, for eight months, however he has found it difficult to remain faithful.

Just two months, ago glamour model Anna Houghton told how she participated in drunken sexual antics with him in an alleyway near an Essex nightclub.
