Jeff Brazier asked fans for a “parent’s guide” to “unconventional early adulthood” as he shared a cryptic Instagram post talking about the news his son Freddie has about becoming a dad at the age of 20.
Freddie is set to welcome a baby with his ex-girlfriend, who would have been the late star Jade Goody’s first grandchild.
And now, taking to social media on Sunday, Jeff, 46, asked his followers for help as he posed for a photo with his youngest son.
Freddie was seen curled up with his father as they both lay on a blue couch as Jeff rocked a selfie.
He wrote: “If anyone could send me this parenting guide, especially ‘early adulthood the unconventional way’ that would be really helpful, thanks [kiss emoji and laughing emoji].”
Freddie has spent months at war with his television host Father Jeff, but this surprise news has ensured that they have reconciled.

Following Freddy’s Baby News, Jeff seemed in good spirits as he took to his Instagram Stories to share a beaming moment with a friend who had come to watch him in his current theatrical show, 101 Dalmatians.
The TV star used the song Life by Cleo Sols to accompany the image, which includes optimistic lyrics such as “life will be only if you believe in yourself.”
The song continues: ‘If you’re alive, there’s no excuse. Get out of my mind, you can’t lose this one time. This might be right.’
Sources close to the Braziers say Freddie has discussed his impending fatherhood with his father – a parenting expert on This Morning.
Jeff is said to be “extremely supportive” alongside other close family and friends who have pledged to help him in any way they can.
This would have made Big Brother star Jade, who died of cervical cancer in 2009, a grandmother for the first time.
The news will also delight millions who fell in love with Freddie when he and his father appeared on celebrity races around the world last year.
The couple were seen arguing over the upbringing of him and his brother Bobby during 30 Days.

In one scene, Jeff gets agitated after Freddie claims they’re not open as a family, prompting his father to respond, “What I’ve done for the last seven or eight years. You have to take responsibility, that’s part of it.”
A friend told the Mail on Sunday: “It has haunted him and has been one of the things that has really brought him and his father together, but it is so devastating that Jade is not here to see it.
“Jeff was one of the first people he decided to confide in for advice, and he immediately stepped up and wanted to help in any way he could.”
It is understood the couple’s brief relationship ended acrimoniously after a series of rows – which even saw each of them make allegations to the police.
But they have since discussed reconciling their differences if possible if they want to become parents.
Freddie has endured a turbulent few weeks over the past six months following a high-profile fight with his father – who had launched legal action in an attempt to prevent the aspiring model from seeing his grandmother, Jade’s mother Jackie Budden.
In this week’s Bombshell U-Turn, Freddie accused his grandmother of getting him hooked on powerful cannabis when he was just 12 – having previously insisted she was never responsible for his drug use.
But on his new show, he said: “My nan is definitely the person who introduced me to reruns and got me hooked. It’s one of those things, I was 12 years old.
“I’ve been smoking since I was 12, I’ve been in rehab, I’ve been in the Splits section, I’ve had manic episodes, I’ve been in the Section. It’s been a real journey, and it’s been tough.”
His comments prompted Jackie to fire back, insisting that she was not responsible for his cannabis use.
She said: “I’ve read all these things he’s said about me and I just can’t believe he would say them. It’s just not true – I can’t believe it.”
