Freddy Brazier’s ex-girlfriend Holly Swinburn has claimed that the bulldog who attacked the TV star was ‘mistreated’.
The son of the late Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, 21, received emergency hospital treatment after his dog Pablo ‘hooked onto his arm’ during an attack last week.
The canine – a pocket bully breed – is now in police custody, and Freddy has been given seven days, up until Tuesday, to find a suitable home for him; otherwise, he will be put down.
Now, ex-Holly, whom he shares daughter Isla with, has spoken out and begged anyone who can take the dog in to do so before it is too late.
Sharing a photo of the pocket bully, she wrote in an emotional message: ‘This is Pablo.
‘I had to give him to someone as I was struggling with a baby and a dog, he has been mistreated there and attacked them to protect himself.

‘He’s the nicest dog and this is totally out of character for him. He wouldn’t hurt a fly.’
She continued: ‘Please if anyone has a good home for Pablo message me!
‘I don’t want to see him being put down and I can’t look after him and a baby by myself :(.’
Holly did not name who had ‘mistreated’ the pet.
The Daily Mail has contacted Freddy’s representatives for comment.
Her statement comes just a day after Freddy shared his devastation that his dog will be taken away after leaving a hole in his arm as he declared ‘he’s like my son.’
Freddy told The Sun that he was mauled by the dog when he went to collect him from his grandmother Jackiey Budden’s home.
Sharing details of the attack, he said: ‘I couldn’t feel anything in my right arm. But then I saw blood coming out of my tracksuit. I opened it to see a 3cm hole in my arm. It was terrifying.’
Freddy’s grandmother Jackiey Budden was also attacked by Pablo and her neighbours called the police days before he was mauled by the animal
However, despite the ordeal, Freddy said he doesn’t want to lose Pablo.
He said: ‘I want my dog back, but my nan has told me that he can’t go back to her house, and my dad won’t have him at his house.
‘I have never seen him as my dog — he’s like my son. He’s in police kennels and I’m probably not going to see my dog again.’
Jackiey was also attacked by Pablo and her neighbours called the police days before he was mauled by the animal.
He spent eight hours in hospital getting stitches on Monday after his dog savagely bit him at his nan’s London home.
‘Jackiey was injured while attempting to pull Pablo off of him. Freddy was shocked when it happened and was left in a lot of pain,’ reported The Sun.
It was later revealed that it is not the first time the bulldog has attacked with emergency services attending the scene to help last week.
Police and the fire brigade were called on July 16 by a concerned neighbour who heard screams of agony as the dog gripped onto Jackiey, which left her needing medical treatment.
Four days later Pablo attacked again leaving both Freddy and Jackiey injured and requiring hospital treatment.
A source told The Sun: ‘It’s been a shocking few days. During the first incident Jackiey was home alone and she was mauled – on this occasion one of her panicked neighbours raised the alarm.
‘Both the police and the fire brigade attended, but fortunately it wasn’t too serious – and they agreed not to pursue criminal charges.
‘But a few days later the incident was repeated, and this time it was worse. Freddy came back to take Pablo but caught up in it all as the dog was clearly still frenzied.
‘Freddy went to A&E immediately, but discharged himself after complaining that the waiting time was too long. But yesterday he was forced to return and his injuries couldn’t be ignored. He was still in hospital at night receiving significant treatment.
‘It’s been an awful few days and Freddy is devastated as he absolutely adores that dog and Pablo is a huge part of the family.’
It comes after Freddy dumped his ex-girlfriend Holly following a huge row about the dog in July last year.
The Daily Mail reported Freddy broke off the relationship when Holly, who is the mother of his daughter, tried to take his dog from him in a furious argument.

The couple welcomed their first child together in March, naming her Isla Jade Brazier in honour of his late mother Jade Goody.
Last year, Freddy admitted he doesn’t like people because he finds them ‘draining’ as he helped out at dog daycare centre London Dog Club.
He looked in his element as he shared snaps of himself surrounded by pups, doing dog agility and playing in the field.
But his caption raised eyebrows as he wrote: ‘Do you prefer dogs or people? I personally at this moment in time prefer dogs.’
His brother, EastEnders star Bobby, shared laughing faces under the post, to which Freddy replied: ‘People are draining, dogs are healing!’
The incident comes after Freddy moved out of the home he shared with girlfriend Holly and their newborn daughter in April 2026 following a row over his grandmother, Jackiey.
It was claimed that tensions escalated between the couple after Holly allegedly refused to allow Jackiey to meet their daughter.
According to reports, Freddy left the family home and is now staying with his grandmother.
He was spotted days later carrying bags into Jackiey’s south-east London property, in images obtained by The Sun.
Holly is said to have concerns about Jackiey’s lifestyle, reportedly believing she has been a negative influence on Freddy.
A source told the publication: ‘He has packed his bags and disappeared without telling Holly where he is.
‘Holly loves Isla Jade and is taking motherhood really seriously, but Freddy is not the same — despite all the ‘happy family’ pictures they posted together on social media.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Freddy’s representatives for comment, but they have refused to comment.
In June last year, Freddy and Jackiey were spotted smoking suspicious cigarettes after their recent reconciliation, despite his dad Jeff’s war to block contact.
Freddy was seen puffing with his gran in front of tourists near Tower Bridge in south London.
He cut a casual figure in a burgundy top and beige shorts while Jackiey wore her own joggers rolled up to her knees and sported bandages on her hands, with onlookers telling The Sun that she was ‘acting erratically’.
They told the publication: ‘The pair were puffing away in the open, in full view of tourists passing by and there was an aromatic smell in the air. It didn’t seem to be normal tobacco they were smoking.’
Meanwhile Jackiey said: ‘As long as Freddy smokes with me he’s safe. At least I know what he’s smoking as it’s nasty out there.’

Freddy previously claimed that he had come to the realisation his grandmother had been lying to him in an explosive TikTok video.
However, in December he appeared to have patched things up with her just in time for Christmas.
In November, Freddy told his followers that he ‘tried to end it all’ by crashing his car before his 18th birthday during a manic episode.
During the tell-all TikTok video he also shared a photo of his grandmother Jackiey and penned: ‘Prioritised my relationship with my mum’s mum not knowing she has been lying to me for years!’
It’s no secret that the duo have had a tumultuous relationship in recent times.
Last year, Freddy’s father Jeff tried to instil a court order to prevent Jackiey from having contact with his son, as he feared she was a negative influence on him.
Since her death, Jeff has looked after Freddy and his older brother Bobby.
Jackiey helped raise Bobby and Freddy following Jade’s death but she and Jeff have clashed multiple times over the years.
