Following reports that she was 'banned' from Strictly Come Dancing live shows, Jackiey Budden has been photographed visiting late daughter Jade Goody's grave and leaving a picture of grandson Bobby Brazier at her headstone.
Jackiey, 66, who is grandmother to Bobby, 20, and Freddie, 19, paid a visit to Jade's headstone at St Thomas' Church in Upshire, Epping Forest, on Friday, 15 December, and was seen wiping away tears.
In photos obtained by The Mirror, Jackiey could be seen putting a small Christmas tree decoration by Jade's headstone, which had a picture of Bobby and his dance partner Dianne Buswell performing on Strictly Come Dancing attached to it.
The picture, which appeared to be a clipping from a magazine, showed Bobby and Dianne performing their Couple's Choice routine, which Bobby dedicated to his late mother Jade. It was hung on a small tree by Jade's headstone alongside other Christmas ornaments.
It comes after Jackiey spoke out about being allegedly 'banned' from Strictly live shows, following her reported feud with Bobby's father Jeff Brazier, 44.
It's been claimed that Bobby only had his immediate family – Jeff, Freddie and step-mum Kate – supporting him in the studio throughout Strictly due to a long-running argument between Jeff and his grandmother Jackiey.
She told The Sun on Sunday: "Unfortunately I haven’t seen Bobby live. I would have loved to, but it’s just one of those things. I’ve been supporting him from home, watching every moment."
Jackiey and Jeff, who has looked after both Bobby and Freddie since Jade's tragic death in 2009, allegedly fell out some years ago and have been unable to repair their fractured relationship.
A friend of the family told the Mail: "Jeff and Jackiey haven't got on for a long time and it has been hard. It has meant that Jackiey hasn't been able to be in the audience to watch Bobby, things are just too bad between her and his father.
"He and his brother Freddie are her only grandchildren and she adores them, there is nothing she would love more than to be there to watch him live." The insider went on to brand the fall out a "very, very sad situation"
Jackiey was not in attendance at the Strictly Come Dancing final on Saturday, 16 December, with Jeff, Kate and Freddie in the audience supporting Bobby.
Bobby and Dianne were runners-up on this year's series, with Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola going on to lift the Glitterball trophy.
