BOBBY BRAZIER banned his grandmother Jackiey Budden from the Strictly audience – even as he danced in honor of her late daughter, his mum Jade Goody.
There is a long-running feud between 66-year-old Jackiey and EastEnders actor father Jeff Brazier, who is allowed into the BBC1 studios to see his son compete each week.

Jackiey recently said she was a “very proud grandmother” and watched her grandson every week on TV.
But she added that Jeff was “nine fucking years old”.
Of the 22 tickets Bobby, 20, awarded to his family, none went to Jackie.
And now he’s the favorite to leave the show in tonight’s semi-final, which could mean she’s completely barred from watching it.
A TV insider said: “There is a lot of friction between Brazier’s side of the family and Jackiey for a few long-standing reasons.
“But viewers were surprised not to see Jackiey in the Strictly audience as she is Bobby’s grandmother.
“The prospect he now faces is either he won’t see Bobby before he gets out of the semi-finals, or he won’t be allowed to watch him in person if he gets to the final and wins the glitter ball.”
The show is filmed at Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, 16 miles from Jackie’s home in Bermondsey, South East London, and a 36-minute train journey.
Two weeks ago, Bobby danced with pro partner Dianne Buswell to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell.
In an emotional clip shown moments before the routine, he dedicated it to his family and mum, saying he would like to spend the day with her “just to see where my smile comes from”.
Over the past 12 weeks, Bobby has been cheered on by Jeff (44) and his wife Kate Dwyer or his younger brother Freddie (19).
Jade, who starred in 2002’s Big Brother, died in 2009 aged 27 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Jackiey joined her daughter in the BB house in 2007 for the celebrity version of the series.
Jade was the first reality star to become a millionaire thanks to her TV appearances and spin-off businesses.
Strictly and Bobby’s team declined to comment.
