Back in 2023, EastEnders actor Bobby moved fans at the National Television Awards when he accepted the Rising Star award, giving a heartfelt speech that brought his father Jeff and the audience to tears. However, his triumphant moment was somewhat marred by his grandmother Jackiey's reported outburst against his father at the ceremony.

According to The Sun, the 68-year-old, who had bought a ticket to attend the event, was overheard expressing her pride in Bobby before launching a verbal attack on Jeff, stating: "I'm so proud of him [Bobby]. He's incredible. They didn't know I was there. I didn't allow them to know I was there. I didn't want to see their dad. He's a c**k. But I'm going to wait until they're older before I let rip."

‌

Jeff, who welcomed Bobby and Freddie into the world with Jade shortly before her death in 2009, has made no secret of his struggles with his former mother-in-law over the years.. In a 2012 interview with HuffPost, Jeff revealed that Jackiey's behaviour had made him feel like a "mean parent".

The 45-year-old Jeff opened up about the challenges of co-parenting post-separation, particularly when it comes to his sons and their grandmother, Jackiey. He recounted how Jackiey spoiled Bobby and Freddie with 'unsuitable' gifts like a hamster and mobile phones, which he had to 'confisc66-year-oldate'.

Jeff shared his frustrations, penning: "Late nights and excessive amounts of sugar are a grandparents prerogative and were the least of my concerns. I got a phone call from an excitable Freddy telling me he was now the proud owner of a hamster!

‌

"Great, I feel I have more responsibility than I really know what to do with as it is, let alone introducing a pet into the equation. As I explained to Jackiey, it would have been nice to have been asked because now I've been put into a position where I have to be the mean parent who says no and ruins the fun."

He added: "This happened before with mobile phones. Yep, a year ago she got them a phone each so she could have direct contact with them both and I don't remember being asked if I minded on that occasion either.

‌

"I understand she wants direct contact but they are just too young to be carrying these things around responsibly so we keep them to the house. I can't fault Jackiey when she's got the boys, I just wish we could work together a little better."

It looks like Jeff and Jackiey's relationship has now hit rock bottom, with Jeff taking legal action against his ex's mother regarding youngest son Freddie. It has previously been reported how Freddy had a 'secret feud' with his dad and 'storms out the house' after huge rows, opting to stay at nan Jackiey's flat in southeast London to cool down.

And now, it has been claimed Jeff, 45, has begun legal proceedings and hired a barrister ahead of an upcoming hearing. An insider claimed to The Sun: "This is something Jeff and anyone who cares about Freddy hopes will help keep him safe from a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his wellbeing for a long time now. The fact that Jeff is going down this route shows how concerned we all are, and how our efforts to keep Fred safe are being grossly undermined by other people.’’
